    TLDR Apple cider vinegar rinses for synthetic hair extensions lack scientific proof of reducing harmful chemicals.
    The document reviews the potential benefits of using an apple cider vinegar (ACV) rinse on synthetic hair extensions, which can expose users to carcinogens. Despite its anecdotal use, there is a lack of scientific data supporting the effectiveness of ACV rinses in reducing carcinogenic exposure from these extensions. The literature review highlights a significant gap in research on this topic, indicating a need for future studies to determine if ACV rinses can mitigate the harmful components of synthetic hair extensions.
