"harsh soaps, detergents, and perfumes, [...] tend to dry the skin"

The word "vinegar" is notably absent from that link. That solely shows that harsh soaps are harsh (which as you may have noticed is axiomatic), not that vinegar isn't.

>notably absent

Maybe that's because vinegar isn't a staple in the hair care aisle at Walgreen's.

When I typed the word "may" I meant it. If it's medically established that properly diluted vinegar dries the skin I'd be interested in knowing that. Otherwise, it seems like reasonable speculation to me rather than pseudo-scientific BS.
