[WASH DAY PROJECT] dpHUE created the Leave In Conditioner of my dreams

Ever since I learned of the wonders of apple cider vinegar and how it helps the hair, I've sought to implement it in countless ways into my regimen.  I've utilized ACV on my scalp to help counter act stubborn seborrheic dermatitis.  Then I learned of how diluted vinegar could serve as an amazing hair rinse, so I tried that.

More recently, I heard of a brand called dpHUE that created an ACV conditioning rinse. Immediately, I fell in love with the idea.  At that moment I decided to create a DIY version by combining my favorite hydrating conditioners with a little bit of apple cider vinegar.  I adored this wonderful concoction and was thankful to dpHUE for offering the inspiration.

But now, I may have come across the ultimate ACV hair product of all time.  You see, for years I've tried (unsuccessfully) to create a home made ACV leave in.  I've longed for the day when I can have a low pH, cuticle sealing leave in conditioner to complete the wash day experience.  Every time I try to whip up a batch, it just never turns out the way I envisioned.

What I desire is a leave in that conditions, strengthens, detangles AND seals.  Is that too much to ask? dpHUE doesn't think so.  Because it appears as if they read the pages of my personal hair diary and have granted my wish.



Take a look at the product description of their ACV Leave-In Hair Therapy so you can see why I'm so excited.

dpHUE Apple Cider Vinegar Leave-In Hair Therapy 

Harnesses the power of apple cider vinegar to restore the pH and health of hair. It closes the cuticle for easy and natural detangling, while leaving the hair soft and shiny with a long lasting silky feel. Does not weigh hair down. 

Benefits:

• Contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and fatty acids to revitalize the hair making it soft and smooth.

• Infused with argan oil, macadamia oil, dandelion extract, aloe vera and more, Apple Cider Vinegar Leave-In Hair Therapy protects and nourishes with anti-aging benefits.

• Provides protection from UV rays to fight color fade. (remember, the sun hates your hair).

In my spare time, I've been creating the ultimate leave in conditioner collection.  So far, my all-star players include:

• [ Biolage Hydrasource Leave-In Tonic ]- Part of my regimen since the dawn of time. It's the ultimate watery, hydrating leave in.
• [ It's a 10 Miracle Leave In ]- A super powered product meant to attack tough tangles.
• [ Biolage Keratindose ] -A thicker version of their hydrating leave-in for when I need a bit more conditioning post wash.
• [ Grund Tiger Reconstructor Spray ]-An excellent strengthening leave-in when I'm experiencing excessive breakage.  Although it's loaded with protein, it acts and feels like a conditioning leave-in (no stiff hair ever).

But there was a gapping hole in my collection. One that could only be filled with a low ph, conditioning leave in with the ability to seal the strands.  After spending hours on wash day pre-pooing, steaming, deep conditioning, and detangling, I want to finish strong with a product that can seal all the good stuff in.

I'm hoping this is it.......

It pleases me that apple cider vinegar is at the top of the ingredient list.  Although I have most of the raw ingredients in my possession, I'm still traumatized from past failed attempts at creating an ACV leave in. This time, I'll trust the professionals.

Wish me luck!
