What this product is
Written from the ingredient list. Where it describes how a formula behaves, that is inferred from what the ingredients are and where they sit in the list, not measured.
Overview
ACV Vinegar Shampoo is a shampoo from LADOR, aimed at fine hair, straight hair and wavy hair. On the evidence of its ingredient list, the formula works on oil control, moisture and frizz control. The ingredients doing most of that work are Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Glycerin. The list runs to 35 ingredients, 10 of which carry a role we recognise for hair.
How it cleanses
It cleanses with Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, a sulfate detergent — effective on oil and product, and the thing people move away from when colour fades fast or the lengths feel stripped. It is buffered with Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Decyl Glucoside, which softens that considerably.
How it feels on hair
The formula reads as lightweight: humectants lead and there is little in the way of heavy oil or silicone, so it should not weigh fine hair down. There are no silicones in the list. The formula leans to moisture rather than protein.
On the scalp
For the scalp itself the formula carries Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Extract. A sensitive or easily irritated scalp may want something milder — the detergent here is the strong kind.
Build-up and porosity
It suits low porosity in particular.
Where it goes
It is the first step of a wash: it goes on wet hair before anything else. Wet hair with warm water and take an adequate amount of shampoo. Massage into scalp and hair while creating foam. After a massage, wash thoroughly with lukewarm water.
What it is not for
Nothing in this formula is aimed at protein & strength, volume / lightweight, curl definition and color protection — not a fault, just the shape of what is in the bottle, and the reason one product rarely covers a whole routine. No ingredient here is one we recognise as supporting hair growth. Reducing breakage and growing hair are different things, and this formula's evidence is for the first.
In short
Working for it
- No silicones
- Light enough for fine hair
Worth knowing
- Cleansed with sulfates
- Contains fragrance
- Not the gentlest option for a reactive scalp
