Kitkat,
I did not dilute the ACV. Was I suppose to dilute it with water?

Most definitely, Sbaker. Acidity in your hair is good but too much can be damaging. I use a ACV rinse as my final rinse every time I wash my hair, and I don't even put 1/4 cup in a gallon of water. More like 1/4 cup in 2 gallons of water. My argument is any acidity is better than none and better safe than sorry so I put very little. I also add a few drops of rosemary essential oil and lavendar essential oil. So instead of a vinegar smell, I get a more herbal smell.
Someone asked how you pour it on your head. I don't. I make the mixture in a basin and submerge my head in there. (A bucket could work just as well if your hair is long and you'd rather it hang straight down.) I give my scalp a good massage while my head is in the solution, dislodging any residue that could clog pores. I usually use cool water so it's a very refreshing feeling, and my scalp tingles when I'm done.
