Any ideas as to the mechanism it works on the scalp guys? It would help make it more acidic im guessing?

Ive started using it about 3 weeks ago, it seems to have completely gotten rid of my dandruff, made my hair softer, and my scalp feel even healthier (it was already feeling pretty healthy). Whats the go with that?

Its the best topical i've ever used for hair loss. The malic acid content is very good for calcification, cleaning up sebum & removing yeasts/bacteria. It smells horrible though unfortunately & comes out especially when you sweat (doing sport or gym). I've tried using plain white vinegar but its just not as good as the ACV. Would be good if someone knows a good concoction to get a similar effect from it whilst minimizing the smell, like mixing it with oils or something?

It has the same pH as the skin. Antibacterial and antifungal too.

Now that you mention it, I may start using it for my beard and scalp. Sometimes have dry skin issues from the climate here.
