Decided to pick up some ACV at the grocery store. They only had Heinz ACV. On the glass bottle it says diluted to 5% acidity. Is this what I am looking for or is there something better? I can also put this on my scalp before I wash my hair correct? New to using ACV so any advise appreciated. I started mixing it in with my protein shakes. Thanks

I would only use Bragg Organic Raw Unfiltered ACV. You can find it at Whole Foods, Health Food Store Etc. Heinz is no good. If you put both bottles along side one another you will SEE the differnece. As far as topical you can dilute it with water say 50/50 or straight out of the bottle. Great Stuff has a lot of uses.

Yea I went and picked up Bragg’s ACV.  Im a couple days into taking it in the morning and night. With a little grape juice you can hardly taste it. Also, last night I diluted some in water and soaked my head in it. Kept a shower cap on my head for about 30-40 mins. This morning I woke up and my scalp felt less inflamed with no itching. Well see how today goes.  Is there a recommended usage for use prior to showering? Thanks aaronz.

I don’t know a lot about ACV. However I have noticed that acidic things tend to work well initially but then stop working and end up making matters worse. I think it would be prudent to titrate the dose down considerably. You know how well your scalp felt in the morning. I’d see if you can get the same benefit from a solution that has been diluted as much as possible. Or perhaps just use it every few days.

Just my humble opinion.

I was thinking id do it every other day for a week and then go to 2 times a week. My scalp has felt great today compared to yesterday. I am also taking it internally in the morning and at night. Also supplementing with a couple of IHs supps as well. Ill update.
