Wikipedia says one cause of dandruff is yeast-like fungus. Perhaps PH plays a role in that. Also vinegar has cleansing properties and may be less drying than detergent, and dry skin is another cause of dandruff.
- Godel_unicode 9y ago> _may_ be less drying than detergent (Emphasis mine) Did you miss the part where GP asked people to stop spreading pseudo scientific falsehoods?
- logn 9y ago"harsh soaps, detergents, and perfumes, [...] tend to dry the skin" https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?contenttypeid=85&contentid=P00281 https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?con...
- Godel_unicode 9y agoThe word "vinegar" is notably absent from that link. That solely shows that harsh soaps are harsh (which as you may have noticed is axiomatic), not that vinegar isn't.
- joatmon-snoo 9y ago>notably absent Maybe that's because vinegar isn't a staple in the hair care aisle at Walgreen's.
- logn 9y agoWhen I typed the word "may" I meant it. If it's medically established that properly diluted vinegar dries the skin I'd be interested in knowing that. Otherwise, it seems like reasonable speculation to me rather than pseudo-scientific BS.
