Hair masks: learning how to make at home? Video
Hair care is not limited to timely washing, cutting and styling. To keep the strands thick, beautiful and shiny, make nourishing masks regularly. They will heal the skin, strengthen the roots and give the hair a well-groomed look.
Homemade masks for dry hair
Dry hair often looks dull and breaks easily and splits easily. This type of hair can come from nature, but sometimes the strands dry out with an incorrectly selected shampoo or too frequent treatment with electrical appliances. In any case, nourishing homemade hair masks will help solve the problem. Do them in courses of 10-12 procedures.
Try a simple yet very effective dairy product mask:
- kefir
- curdled milk
- koumiss
It will take a little time and quickly restore shine to the hair, strengthen the roots and facilitate subsequent styling.
You will need:
- 0,5 cup kefir
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
Heat the kefir slightly in the microwave or in a water bath. Rub the fermented milk product thoroughly into the scalp, then put on a plastic shower cap. After 15–20 minutes, rinse off the kefir thoroughly and rinse your head with warm water in which dry mustard is diluted, it will destroy the specific smell. You can do otherwise – after the mask, wash your hair with shampoo for dry hair and treat the strands with a mild conditioner. Kefir will make your hair silky and manageable.
Homemade black bread hair mask is very useful. It will take a little longer, and it will take a long time to wash off the bread gruel. But such a mask perfectly heals the scalp, and the hair becomes elastic, smooth and shiny.
You will need:
- 200 g brown bread without additives
- 1 egg
- 40 g dried chamomile or hops
Finely chop the bread, put in a bowl and cover with hot boiled water. Let the mixture sit for a few hours. Then add a lightly beaten egg to the bread gruel and stir until smooth.
Black bread mask not only nourishes hair, but also relieves dandruff
Rub the mixture into the scalp, wrap the head with plastic wrap and then a towel. Leave the mask for half an hour, rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water. Make sure that the remaining bread is completely removed, and rinse your head with a pre-brewed and chilled herbal extract of chamomile (for light hair) or hops (for dark hair). To prepare the infusion, pour dry raw materials with 2 cups of boiling water, leave for an hour, and then strain. After such treatment, the hair will acquire not only a beautiful appearance, but also a pleasant herbal aroma.
Instead of herbal decoction, hair can be rinsed with beer, half diluted with water.
Oily hair quickly loses volume and lightness. Within a few hours after washing, they can hang in lifeless strands that cannot be styled into a hairdo. Masks with a toning and refreshing effect will help to restore their attractive appearance. Herbal infusions, lemon and aloe juice, honey and other components are very useful.
Try a toning honey-lemon hair mask. It will remove excess sebum, hair will become more luxuriant and lighter.
You will need:
- 2 tablespoons of liquid honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh aloe juice
Wash your hair and dry thoroughly. Mix all the ingredients and use a flat brush to apply them to the scalp. Massage your hair roots lightly, put on a shower cap and wrap a towel around your head. After half an hour, wash off the mask with warm water. After the procedure, the hair does not need a rinse – lemon juice will give the strands shine and a pleasant delicate aroma.
