FAQs

What is the Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser?

The Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser is an apple cider vinegar rinse for a sensitive, uncomfortable scalp. Used after shampoo, it gently removes product residue and excess oil and leaves the scalp feeling clean, calm and refreshed, with softer, shinier hair. It is made with Apple Cider Vinegar, Aloe Vera Hydrosol, Willow Bark, Licorice Root, Nettle Root, Horsetail, Burdock Root and Calendula Extracts, Manuka, Birch and Sea Buckthorn Oils and Allantoin.

Is apple cider vinegar good for an itchy scalp?

Apple cider vinegar is a popular scalp rinse, and the Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser blends it with calming botanicals. A diluted rinse helps wash away buildup and excess oil that can leave a scalp feeling uncomfortable, and it leaves hair smoother and shinier. Never apply undiluted vinegar to your scalp, and skip it on broken or sore skin. If your scalp stays uncomfortable, or is red, scaly or flaking heavily, see a dermatologist.

How do I use the Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser?

Shake the bottle well before each use. After shampooing, apply enough of the Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser to cover your scalp and hair, and massage it into the scalp with gentle circular motions. Work it through from the roots to the ends and leave it on for 1 to 3 minutes. Rinse with warm water until your hair feels clean, then follow with your favorite conditioner to keep hair soft and manageable.

How often should I use the Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser?

Use the Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser about every two weeks, or as needed to remove buildup and keep your scalp feeling fresh. Like all our vinegar rinses, it is not meant for every wash, because using it too often can leave hair and scalp feeling dry. On your regular wash days, use a gentle shampoo and conditioner, and save the rinse for when your scalp feels coated or uncomfortable.

Do I use the Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser before or after shampoo?

Use the Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser after shampooing and before conditioning. The shampoo cleans your scalp first, then the rinse removes any remaining residue and leaves the scalp feeling balanced and refreshed. Leave it on for 1 to 3 minutes, rinse well and follow with your conditioner on the lengths and ends. A gentle, sulfate-free shampoo, such as our Itchy Scalp Calming Scalp Shampoo, pairs well with it.

Is the Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser safe for color-treated hair?

Yes. The Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser is color-safe and made without harsh sulfates or strong cleansing agents, so it refreshes your scalp while helping your color stay vibrant. Its mild acidity also helps smooth the hair's surface, which adds shine. Follow it with a conditioner, and use it about every two weeks rather than on every wash day to keep color-treated hair from feeling dry.

Will the Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser leave a vinegar smell in my hair?

Not for long. The Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser has a light vinegar scent while it is on your hair, but Grapefruit, Orange Peel and Lemongrass essential oils give it a fresh, citrusy aroma. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and follow with your conditioner, and any vinegar smell goes away as your hair dries. Most people notice only clean, fresh-smelling hair once it is dry.

What is the difference between the Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser and the Vinegar Rinse Cleanser?

Both are apple cider vinegar rinses, but they are different formulas. The Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser is made for a sensitive, uncomfortable scalp, with calming botanicals like Willow Bark, Licorice Root, Calendula, Aloe Vera and Allantoin. The Vinegar Rinse Cleanser is our everyday clarifying rinse for buildup and hard water. Both are used after shampoo about every two weeks and followed with conditioner.

Does the Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser remove buildup?

Yes. The Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser works to remove buildup from the scalp and hair, including product residue and excess oil, without harsh sulfates. Apple Cider Vinegar and gentle plant-based cleansers like Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside and Quillaja Bark Extract leave the scalp feeling clean and refreshed, while its mild acidity helps hair look shinier and feel smoother. Follow with conditioner, since clean hair needs moisture.

Is the Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser sulfate-free and vegan?

Yes. The Itchy Scalp Vinegar Rinse Cleanser is sulfate-free and color-safe. It is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, never tested on animals, and every ingredient is listed on this page. The Phenethyl Alcohol in the list is a gentle ingredient that helps keep the formula fresh and does not dry the hair. It contains essential oils, including Tea Tree, Oregano and Rosemary, so try it on a small area first if your skin is very sensitive. It is made in the USA by Just Nutritive, a family-owned company making natural hair and skin care since 2007.

This completely cured by fungal psoriasis

About 15 years ago, I had the worst psoriasis on the soles of my feet and palms (deep cuts and very painful to even walk), and had to go for regular light therapy sessions that were inconvenient, unsafe and expensive. I tried many things before trying this. It took about 3 - 6 months of daily use (daily use is key), to see results but I am completely psoriasis free and it healed my skin to the point that I can wear any kind of footwear again. I never travel without this. I've tried the vinegar body rinse but find the consistency not suitable and frankly it didn't help as much - so I'm sticking with the hair rinse for my body. So grateful to have found this.

So soothing

This made my scalp feel so nice. After suffering from scalp eczema, when I went to use this, my scalp had been feeling tight and hot. When I poured this on each part, it was exactly the relief I needed. After the shower, my dry skin had already started to improve, less dry patches and the tightness is easing up

Helpful product

Seems to ease but does not entirely eliminate itchiness. I use once a week in combination with a shampoo. Hair is shiny and scalp feels great right after washing. I will continue using it and see if repeated use does the trick.

Does a great job

Good when combined with shampoo to remove build up about once a week to reset the scalp and hair from heavy build up.

Soothing, but strong scent

This Vinegar rinse has a strong scent that someone familiar with apple cider vinegar will recognize. However, the added herbs mask the scent a bit, so I don't feel like my hair smells like I just poured a cup of vinegar on my scalp. I use this once or twice a week and feel it is calming my itchy, in conjunction with the Anti Bacterial Formula Scalp Fungus Treatment. I've only used it for a couple of weeks, so I hope to see more improvement as more time passes.

it helped me with my scalp itching

This I use every time I have watched my hair every two days or so since it's arrival and I have noticed a decrease in my inching. I love how smells and a little goes a long way it leathers very nicely.

will never be without this

I will never be without this vinegar rinse treatment. I have had problems with my scalp for years itching bad and buildup. This Vinegar Rinse gets rid of all the buildup and my scalp doesn't itch at all if I use it once a week or so. This is a big improvement for me.

worked when hydrocortisone didn't

Wow……This vinegar rinse treatment worked when hydrocortisone products did not. I was having a hard time with extremely dry itchy skin on my scalp and nothing worked to relieve the itching until I used this vinegar rinse.

Try this one!

Try this one! I really was skeptical at first. I have used quite a few products that promised a relief to my itchy scalp. You name it I tried or did it but I never found anything that got to the root of the problem. Well, I can say that there is something in this Vinegar Rinse treatment that got to the root of my scalp problems. After a couple of uses it has been effective at solving my scalp problem. I am almost 99% itch free. God bless!

Nothing can compare

Nothing else has worked as well to heal my scalp itch. This is the best to use if you have really itchy scalp and have issues with Folliculitis which is an inflammation of the hair follicles. The vinegar rinse really soothes the scalp and makes it feel so great while helping it to heal.

WORKS!!

I have tried it all and this vinegar rinse works!! I have suffered from dry itchy skin on my head for years. I have bad reactions to any products made with hydrocortisone and fortunately I will never have to use those products again!! If you have an itchy scalp dont waste your money on anything else.

Safe on Sensitive Scalps

I buy many products from your company which I love. This product is no exception. My hair and scalp cannot be without this rinse. My hair was wrecked and my scalp was terrible. Tried everything to heal my hair and scalp from oil treatments, salons, prescriptions, drugstore and luxury haircare products. This rinse has rivaled and surpassed all of the products I've used in the past. I have used the vinegar every week or week and a half to cleanse my scalp and hair. This has left me with a calming relief to the scalp without itching.

I need this stuff

I am a minimalistic type of person. I only buy what is neccesary for me to use every day. I only buy shampoo,conditioner and gel. I recently got an insanely itchy scalp and flakes were all over my clothing. Found out about this product when searching for remedies. Decide to buy this ACV rinse and I couldn't be happier. I used the rinse the first day it arrived and my flakes and itch disappeared. I have used it continuiously and I also see a difference in my hair.

Only the Best from Just Nutritive

I have allergies to most products that inadvertently make me itch immensely. I would develop sores and scars throughout my scalp. This product gently cleans my hair and scalp, plus all itching and flakes have disappeared. My hair stays conditioned, shiny and healthy. Your hair will become manageable and voluminous even though my hair is very fine and thin with a natural curl that easily becomes frizzy. I love this product.

Perfect for Flaking Scalp

I like this ACV Rinse. It clarified my hair by removing build up, leaving my hair shiny, soft, and flake free.It has a heavy scent but it does fade, and it was gentle enough to use on my hair that was recently colored. I high recommend this vinegar rinse.
