It may depend on what people are already using as to whether the soap makes their scalp more or less itchy than their regular shampoo. Having said that, I have an extremely sensitive scalp. So much so that the gentlest of natural shampoos still seem to cause me trouble. The vinegar keeps it to a bearable level most of the time though.<br/><br/>Good suggestion though. It certainly made my hair feel nice and clean. :-)<br/><br/>Jodi Well I decided to give the soap a try but it did make my scalp itchy.

I've heard reference made to the quote "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" so some people are speculating that the source of apple cider vinegar has some impact on it's health benefits. No idea if they're right in that speculation or not. It could be as simple as that being the most common vinegar around at the time it was used for health benefits and it's just "stuck". You never know the origins of these things. I find it much more palatable than white vinegar though.<br/>Jodi I don’t know if it’s a case of white vinegar being “bad” so much as apple cider vinegar being “better”.

Do you happen to know why the apple cider vinegar is 'good' but the white vinegar is 'bad'?

Rosemary sounds lovely also.<br/><br/>Might try it on DBF head as he gets bad itchy scalp, part of it dry and flaky the other part oily and it drives him batty as most commercial products only work on one or the other.<br/><br/>Thanks Heaps!!

Might try it on DBF head as he gets bad itchy scalp, part of it dry and flaky the other part oily and it drives him batty as most commercial products only work on one or the other.

Thanks Heaps!!

That's my concern. I tend not to use soap at all because I have fairly dry skin and I find it makes it worse. It would be a lot more convenient than bicarb though.
