Maple Holistic's newest shampoo, the Apple Cider Vinegar shampoo is just the product you need to revive your hair this season.
Apple Cider Vinegar For Your Hair?
Apple cider vinegar has been a buzzy ingredient in the wellness world and recently, it has been making its way into our beauty cabinets too. ACV is a very acidic ingredient that can help restore the pH level of our scalp. Balancing out the pH level will prevent dryness, which will lead to overall shinier hair. This ingredient also removes build up from products--think dry shampoo, hairspray, and serums. With the addition of an ACV shampoo, you can continue using all of your beloved products without the worry.If you've been reading my blog for a little while, then you probably have noticed that Maple Holistics is one of my favorite natural shampoo companies. Their products are clean, don't leave your hair with any gross residue, and are packed with ingredients that actually benefit your beautiful hair.
The Review
First, off I have to mention the packaging. I love how sleek their bottles are, but this yellow label honestly gives off SO many happy vibes. I know it sounds corny, but this is one of my favorite shades of yellow, and it truly adds a touch of sunshine into the products that line my shower.The shampoo has a very healthy scent. You know when you walk into a juice shop and it just smells healthy? That's what the shampoo smells like, but not quite as strong. I'm pretty sure it's because of the ACV. Personally, I don't mind the scent. It doesn't linger in your hair afterwards, so it doesn't bother me, but I know some people have a love / hate relationship with healthy scents like that.
The formula itself is a white color that is slightly runnier than a conditioner. I know some natural shampoos I've used are very liquidy and difficult to lather, but this is a little thicker. For being a sulfate-free formula it lathers extremely well--you may remember how much I geeked out about this in my last review for the Silk 18 shampoo. This is something I've found to be consistent across all lines, which makes me love the products even more.
The Results
Overall, I would definitely recommend this shampoo. My hair did not have any sort of greasy residue once it dried (can be common in natural shampoos) and it wasn't dry either. My hair was actually more voluminous after using this particular shampoo, even compared to other Maple Holistics products, which pleasantly surprised me. My guess is that it's because of the clarifying affect ACV has on the hair. Oh, and this shampoo can be used on any hair type. How awesome is that?!
If you're looking for a good clarifying shampoo that isn't harsh on your hair, doesn't have nasty chemicals in it, and still gets the job done, then I can confidently say this one is for you! Go ahead and give it a try. Let me know in the comments below if you have tried this product or plan to, I'd love to hear what you think!
