Dry Scalp Fix: How To Make A DIY Hair Mask (VIDEO)

One of my best friend's mother believes that vinegar is the absolute cure-all. If me or one of my girls complain about having a stomach ache, cold, sore throat or even the hiccups, she shouts out, "Take some vinegar!" While her antics over the sour-smelling liquid seem like a classic skit from "In Living Color," I'd be lying if I tell you we didn't feel better after taking a few gulps. And the home staple has hundreds of other uses, including remedying a dry, itchy scalp.

In the video above, BellaSugar beauty reporter Kirbie Johnson mixes apple cider vinegar with peppermint extract and coconut oil to create a spray-on, dry hair mask. The vinegar works to remove build-up from the scalp and detangle locks, while the peppermint and coconut oil soothes and seals damaged cuticles, respectively. Plus, Johnson explains how a cooling rinse (a method pro stylists swear by) helps to hydrate hair and lock in much-needed moisture.
