Do the bleach bath and then every time you wash do the ACV rinse, it maintains the results from the bleach bath.. and if your using too many styling products it causes tangling too, cleaner is better.. my bleach bath is kicked up a notch b/c this hair is harder to handle now days..

I think the matting could be coming from product buildup and improper maintenance. I agree with needtresses that a bleach bath is a last resort.  I recommend you find a good clarifying shampoo (I use fekkai apple cider clarifying shampoo..pricey but a great product) to remove all the buildup. Wash the hair in HOT water to open the hair shaft to release the buildup and to allow the products to deeply penetrate. Add EVOO & CO.  Find a moisturizing/hydrating conditioner and add EVOO & Coconut oil and use a steamer or some type of heat (hair dryer, heating pad, heat cap) and deep condition for a minimum of 30 minutes.  Rinse well in COLD water for 15 minutes to close the shaft. I don't see a need for an ACV rinse, but if you want to do one it won't hurt at all.
 
Always find quality products and products that work on your hair type....why spend $200 for hair and $3.00 for maintenance products. I think people fail to realize that not every product works on every hair type and cheap products have cheap ingredients.  You shouldn't have to use unneccessary products EVERY time you remove them for maintenance.  I don't do all of that and I units from way back.
 
Good luck

Talking negatively about others only shows how insecure you are about yourself
