Dr Mikki Singh, Founder & Medical Director, Bodycraft clinics, however warns users about using ACV. She asserts, "scientific evidence supporting ACV benefits claims remains largely anecdotal, and the variability in concentration and application can lead to inconsistent outcomes and potential risks such as scalp irritation or damage to the hair cuticle." As such, she recommends approaching such remedies with caution, performing a patch test before use, and considering that rigorously tested alternatives like specialised shampoos, conditioners, or other clinically validated treatments may offer more predictable and safe results, especially for individuals with sensitive skin or underlying scalp conditions.
