Olive oil and Apple Cider Vinegar?

I looked this up on Google and found nothing, so I figured why not Y!A!? So I was going to do my usual olive oil hair treatment, I heated it up wtill it was pretty warm, then I got this idea, "Well, since Apple Cider Vinegar is good for your hair, why not add that!? It could be better!" So I poured a little bit in. And in the instant I poured it in, the stuff starts bubbling like it's boiling, and will spit out some of the mixture every now and then. I waited a minute to see if it would stop, and it only seemed to get worse, so i poured some water in and it stopped. Can anyone tell me how and why this happened?

Update:

Do note that I tried to recreate this reaction to video it and it didn't happen again. So if you try, it may not work.

    The olive oil had nothing to do with it. There must have been something else in your hair that the vinegar reacted with. There are things that act like that with vinegar (limestone and baking soda for examples) but it's hard to imagine any of them in your hair.
