Shop what our stylists use. AG Hair Balance is a sulfate-free apple cider vinegar shampoo for all hair types and textures, fine to thick, straight to coily, including colour-treated hair. Product buildup, Calgary hard water or a scalp that feels heavy by day two? Balance gently lifts it all away and leaves hair soft and seriously shiny, without stripping. It's 98% plant-based and naturally derived. 12 oz or 1 litre.
Why Our Stylists Love It
-
Organic apple cider vinegar: a mild acid that helps rebalance scalp pH and smooth the cuticle for shine.
-
Argan oil and aloe: softness and moisture so a deep clean never feels squeaky.
-
Pea peptide and sodium PCA: conditioning and hydration from the inside of the formula.
-
Superfood extracts: apricot, peach, apple, sweet almond, millet, linseed and olive leaf.
-
Daily-safe: AG confirms it's gentle enough for every day, and it lightly lifts hard-water deposits.
Best For
Anyone dealing with product or hard-water buildup, dull hair, or a scalp that feels oily or heavy. Safe on colour.
How to Use
- Start with a quarter-sized amount (half that for fine hair) and emulsify it in your hands.
- Massage into wet hair and scalp, then rinse.
- Natural ingredients can separate a little. Roll the bottle between your palms to remix.

Scent
No vinegar smell, promise. It's scented only with plant essential oils: lavender, rosemary, lemongrass and clary sage, with a hint of rosemary mint and apple.
