Perms, dyes, irons, blow dryers—the way most of us treat our tresses can hardly be described as “hair care.” With all the heat and chemicals, it’s no wonder so many of us develop hair issues. That’s why the guiding principle behind every Dr. Yates product and procedure is to keep it natural and nourishing. It starts with the unique ingredients we select and source for each of our thickening, conditioning, and styling products.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar naturally returns the pH of the scalp and hair to its normal range of 4.5 to 5.5. By doing so, it provides a healthy environment that reduces bacteria, fungus, and inflammation. Apple Cider Vinegar Reset Shampoo will remove stubborn build-up of silicones, waxes, oils, and mousses; lift mineral deposits left by hard water; and remove chlorine and other chemicals deposited by swimming pools. Benefits include:  

  • Balances hair, scalp, and sebum pH
  • Anti-bacterial and antifungal properties
  • Cleanses, clarifies, and restores life to your hair
