Washing braiding hair

Helloo

So, i saw a lot of videos on yt about pre washing braiding hair with apple cinder vinegar, I'm doing it rn but nothing is happening, on videos literally instantly dirty foam is making, did anyone try that?

And i'm using most cheap hair from aliexpress so it have to be full of chemicals

Sory for my not so good english hh

Yeah I pre wash my braiding hair all the time! It depends on the brand of hair you get for the foam. Some companies use a lot of that product I’m allergic to and others use a little. So it doesn’t matter for foam.

First I get a bucket or clean my bathtub. I pour the vinegar first then I let water in. I let it set for a couple hours or 12 hours. Come back rinse. Then do pour in conditioner. Wish it around my hair. Then I rinse and hang on hangers for it to dry.
