Product Description


This specialized treatment goes beyond regular scalp cleansing, helping to clear away residues, dirt, and debris that can affect your hair's natural appearance. Our vinegar rinse features apple cider vinegar combined with a powerful blend of botanical extracts including comfrey root, dong quai, licorice, and nettle root.

These ingredients work together with essential oils like rosemary, peppermint, and clary sage to create a clarifying treatment that supports scalp health.

The apple cider vinegar helps balance scalp pH while dissolving product buildup that can weigh hair down and diminish its natural shine. Additional botanicals including sea buckthorn oil, saw palmetto extract, and horsetail extract provide nutrients that support the appearance of stronger, healthier-looking hair. 

When product residue and excess oils are cleared away, your scalp environment is optimized, allowing hair to appear fuller and more vibrant. Don't rely on shampoo alone - this vinegar rinse is an essential addition to your hair care routine for maintaining a clean, balanced scalp.

With regular use, feel the difference as your scalp and hair regain their natural vitality, supporting the appearance of fuller, healthier-looking hair.

The formula is enriched with Vitamin B5 and includes 25 carefully selected ingredients to provide comprehensive scalp care.

How to Use
  • Preparation: Begin by cleaning your hair and scalp with shampoo.
  • Application: Dispense an appropriate amount onto your palm. Gently massage it into your scalp, working the product through your hair from root to tip.
  • Massage and Rinse: Using gentle, circular motions, massage the cleanser into your scalp for 1-2 minutes. Allow the product to sit for an additional 2-3 minutes to effectively dissolve build-up.
  • Thorough Rinse: Rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water. Ensure that all traces of the cleanser are completely removed.
  • Follow-Up Care: For optimal results, follow with your preferred conditioner or treatment regimen.
  • Recommended Frequency: Use this Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser once every fifteen days to maintain optimal scalp and hair health.

Tips
  • Optimal Usage Frequency: To preserve your hair's natural oils, use it once every two weeks. If you have very hard water or heavy buildup, you can use it once a week for a short time. This balanced approach ensures effective cleansing without stripping away essential moisture.
  • Customize Your Hair Care Routine: Tailor your hair care routine to your specific needs by combining different products from our range. This allows you to address your unique hair type and concerns, maximizing the benefits for your hair.
  • Combat Hard Water Effects: If you're dealing with the harsh effects of hard water or well water, consider rinsing your hair with bottled water. Alternatively, investing in a quality shower filter can effectively reduce the negative impact of mineral-rich water on your hair.
  • Final Rinse with Cool/Cold Water: For a finishing touch that enhances shine, use cool or cold water for your final rinse. This helps to close the hair cuticle, resulting in smoother, shinier locks. This step is especially effective in achieving a polished look.

FAQs

Is apple cider vinegar good for your hair?

Yes. Used the right way, apple cider vinegar is good for your hair, and the Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser makes it easy. Apple cider vinegar is mildly acidic, so it helps balance the scalp's pH and dissolve the product residue, oil and dirt that shampoo can leave behind. Our rinse combines it with Aloe Vera Hydrosol and botanical extracts like Nettle Root, Comfrey Root and Licorice, so hair looks shinier, feels lighter and the scalp feels clean and refreshed. Used every two weeks, it cleanses without stripping.

How do I use the Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser?

Use the Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser after you shampoo. Wash your hair and scalp with shampoo and rinse, then pour an appropriate amount into your palm and massage it into your scalp, working it through your hair from roots to ends. Massage in gentle circles for 1 to 2 minutes, then leave it on for another 2 to 3 minutes so it can dissolve buildup. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until no product is left, and follow with your conditioner. A final cool rinse adds shine.

How often should I use the Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser?

Use the Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser once every two weeks. That is enough to keep the scalp clear of residue and buildup while preserving your hair's natural oils. If you have very hard water or heavy product buildup, you can use it once a week for a short time, then go back to every two weeks, because frequent use over long periods can leave the scalp and hair feeling dry. On the other wash days, use your regular shampoo and conditioner.

Will the Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser remove my hair color?

No. The Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser is safe for color-treated hair. It is free from harsh detergents and uses apple cider vinegar with gentle cleansers to lift residue and buildup, not to strip color. Clearing that dull film can help colored hair look shinier and more vibrant. To keep your color looking its best, use it every two weeks rather than more often, rinse with lukewarm or cool water instead of hot, and follow with a conditioner made for colored hair.

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

No. The Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser is not formulated to leave a vinegar scent in your hair. You may notice a light vinegar aroma while it is on your scalp, but its essential oils, including Rosemary, Peppermint, Clary Sage, Lemongrass, Grapefruit and Orange Peel, give it a fresh, herbal scent. Once you rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and follow with your conditioner, the vinegar smell goes away and your hair is left smelling clean.

Does the Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser help with hard water buildup?

Yes. The Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser helps clear the buildup that hard water leaves behind. Hard water is rich in minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can cling to hair along with shampoo and styling products and leave it dull, heavy and hard to manage. The apple cider vinegar in this rinse helps dissolve that film, so hair looks shinier and feels lighter. If your water is very hard, a shower filter or a final rinse with bottled water also helps between rinses.

What is the difference between the Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser and the Vinegar Rinse Cleanser?

Both are apple cider vinegar rinses you use after shampoo every two weeks, but the Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser has its own scalp-focused formula. It adds a larger blend of roots, herbs and oils, such as Dong Quai, Fo-ti, Eleuthero, Licorice, Kelp, Andiroba and Sea Buckthorn. The Vinegar Rinse Cleanser, now also sold as Hard Water Rinse Hair Detox, is a lighter clarifying rinse with Avocado Oil and Guava Leaf Extract, made mainly for hard water and product buildup. Both are color safe.

Can the Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser help my hair grow?

The Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser is a cosmetic scalp rinse, so it cannot change how your hair grows, but it can make hair look fuller and healthier. By clearing the product residue and excess oil that weigh hair down, it lets strands lift at the roots and look more voluminous, and botanicals like Nettle Root, Horsetail and Sea Buckthorn Oil help hair look stronger. If you notice sudden, patchy or heavy shedding, talk with a doctor or dermatologist to find the cause.

What ingredients are in the Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser?

The Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser is made with Apple Cider Vinegar and Aloe Vera Hydrosol, plus a rich blend of botanical extracts: Comfrey Root, Dong Quai, Eleuthero, Fo-ti, Licorice, Echinacea, Nettle Root, Saw Palmetto, Horsetail, Kelp and Yucca. Andiroba, Karanja and Sea Buckthorn Oils add conditioning, and essential oils of Rosemary, Peppermint, Clary Sage, Cajeput, Chamomile, Birch, Grapefruit and Lemongrass give it a fresh scent. Panthenol (Vitamin B5) adds softness. The full list is on this page.

Is the Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser sulfate-free and vegan?

Yes. The Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser is sulfate-free and free from harsh detergents; it cleanses with gentle Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside and Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate. It has no synthetic fragrances or artificial colorants, it is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, never tested on animals, and it is safe for color-treated hair. Women and men can both use it. It is made in the USA by Just Nutritive, a family-owned company making natural hair and skin care since 2007.

Excellent product line

I have been continually impressed, buy the products at Just nutritive. My latest order included this product. I used it and noticed a vast difference in the health of my hair. My hair after using it felt like I had already conditioned. I have bought products from this company and I've loved every single one. As a clinical herbalist, I am very impressed with their ingredients. They truly are a nutritive brand.

Completes my hair care routine

I’ve been using the hair loss shampoo for almost 2 years. I added the vinegar rinse about 1 year ago. I can tell when I need it because my scalp starts to get itchy. The only downside is you do smell a little like vinegar for 1 day.

Ever since my first time trying this product, when the company name was still “Just Natural” - which I’ll default to - I have loved the products I’ve tried and mourned the products they discontinued😭. Grateful they continued with the vineager rinse line because it works wonders on my scalp and hair!!!! I’m amazed at how light and clean my hair feels, after using the Vinegar Nutritive rinse🤩 Finally after all these years, I figured out my HAIR and scalp loves Just Nutritive😍👍🏽

Love it!

I use this cleanser every 2wks & then a conditioning treatment. It keeps my scalp nice & clean from build-up. I definitely feel it's helped with hair growth too! Definitely a must have if you use a lot of dry shampoo and don't wash your hair often I've been using for years! My hairdresser always comments on how much my hair has grown!

Makes scalp and hair feel great!

My scalp has not been the same since I got sick a few years ago. It's been constantly itchy, with some flakiness. I've tried lots of things, but the only thing that's made a differene has been the Vinegar Nutritive Rinse Cleanser. It's helping tremendously! And I'm surprised at how soft it makes my hair:)

Yellow is gone!

I had a terrible case of yellow in my white hair. I tried everything -- every blue shampoo or rinse on the market with great reviews. My styist gave me some purple stuff and it didn't help a bit. I started the Just Nutritive Vinegar products and it took some time, but gradually I started losing the yellow. After a few months, I have shiny white hair with no yellow. I never thought this day would come, but it did. Love this stuff.

Wow!! Just wow!!! I love the herbal smell of everything too. So happy I found your company!!! Thank you soooo much :)

Vinegar Rinse Cleanse

I've only tried this shampoo rinse once. I used it just before dying my roots to be sure I started with clean hair and scalp. It did what I wanted it to do, that is to rid the yellow from my fading dye job. It's always at it's worst just before I dye the roots again. I have to use it sparingly since I do dye my hair and I don't want to remove the good color. My hair is almost 100% grey so I do get a lot of yellow as the dye fades.
