If you’re swimming regularly in chlorinated water, your hair might feel a little dry and dull. Applying apple-cider vinegar after swimming is a wonderful way to restore shine and health to your hair. In a spray bottle, mix four parts water with one part apple-cider vinegar and spray generously on your hair. Comb through and let sit for 3-5 minutes before rinsing off.
