This is one of the mysteries of nature: why is the hair first to respond to any malfunction in the body? Why do they immediately become dull and brittle, as soon as a person becomes tedious or depressed? Yes, it is these inanimate, seemingly keratinized cells that are more sensitive than all other organs. What about the other harmful effects on the hair: sun and frost, dust and paints, chemical-based shampoos and a hot hair dryer. The only way to help them in such cases is a hair mask. To restore their health requires constant attention and nutrition. By the way, you don’t have to go far for this, all the best tools are at hand.
What does our hair need
Hair needs the same as us. Our menu directly affects their condition. A diet rich in carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals is necessary for their health no less than for the whole organism. As for the individual nutrition, this is called simply - a hair mask. For restoration and growth, for their splendor and splendor, much of what is in our kitchen can be useful to us. These are the most common products: eggs, honey, kefir, salt, oil, even pepper and mustard. Each woman has her own secrets, and the author of these lines is no exception, and she is ready to share her favorite recipes.
So, masks for hair restoration, home methods. What kind of product is most useful for hair, you can not say right away. Honey? Or eggs? No, rather, the palm should be given to vegetable oil, if only because it is included in almost all recipes. We’ll start with him.
Oil mask for hair
To restore dry and weak hair, as well as to treat and moisturize the scalp, which is prone to irritation and dandruff, there is no better remedy than olive oil. It must be applied warmed up, rubbing it well into the skin, put on a shower cap and a warm scarf. After half an hour, the mask is washed off with shampoo and rinsed with a decoction of nettle, chamomile or burdock. Oil can be different: almond, jojoba, burdock or castor. By the way, about castor: on its basis, a hair mask, favorite by the author, is made.
To restore healthy sheen and air volume
50 ml of castor oil is the basis of the mask. Pour it into a cup, add one yolk, a tablespoon of honey, a teaspoon of cognac. Mix everything thoroughly and apply to hair. A polyethylene cap, a warm scarf on top, we stand one and a half to two hours. Rinse thoroughly with shampoo and rinse with warm water slightly acidified with lemon. The head after such a mask does not need to be dried with a hairdryer, let it dry naturally, and you will feel how the skin is breathing, until the hair has become airy and shiny. Try it without fail and, as the great combinator said, no ovations!
Do not forget about dairy products
There is an excellent tool for exfoliating dead skin cells, revitalizing the scalp and awakening sluggish hair follicles, superior in effectiveness to professional masks for hair restoration. This is ordinary kefir. Take a glass of the product, add a tablespoon of salt to it, stir. We make peeling of the scalp with the resulting mixture : apply it abundantly, massage, feeling a slight burning sensation, leave the mask on your hair for about 15 minutes. By the way, kefir can even replace shampoo. Pour a slightly warmed product (one liter is enough) into a small bowl, dip hair into it and rinse it well in kefir, while massaging the head. Then rinse with warm water and rinse with a decoction of herbs or water with the addition of lemon juice. Hair after such a procedure shines, is easy to comb, and hair loss is reduced.
