Apple cider vinegar softens the hair, making it easier to straighten. I discovered this by accident while taking out my box braids. I used 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar + 1 1/2 - 2 cups of water and put it in a spray bottle. I sprayed my hair and combed out the dirt and residue left behind from the braids. I never once rinsed my hair while combing out other sections of my hair. I would suggest combing the vinegar through your hair and letting it air dry. After it air-dried, Then I washed my hair with a conditioning shampoo (Motions or Paul Mitchell) and deep moisture conditioner (Mizani or Paul Mitchell). I blow-dried each section and noticed my hair was super straight after a few minutes of blow-drying. If I had straightened it, it would have been bone silky straight like an Asian.

Well, honey, apple cider vinegar can indeed help strip some of the chemicals in a relaxer from your hair, but it's not a miracle worker. It can help fade the relaxer over time with regular use, but don't expect it to completely strip it in one go. So, give it a try if you're feeling adventurous, but don't get your hopes up for instant results.
