The main rules for the preparation and use of home hair masks
Prepare hair masks only with warm water. Boiling water can significantly reduce the effectiveness of a large number of useful substances included in the components of masks – clay, acetylsalicylic acid, honey, yogurt, cognac, sour cream, fermented milk whey and vegetable oil.
The effect of homemade masks begins within an hour after application. From this it follows that for nutrition and hydration, it is better to leave the product on the hair for at least 8 hours – overnight, and in the morning, wash and dry the strands.
Do not apply masks to the hair roots, otherwise they will become oily very quickly.
Spread the mask evenly over the entire length, paying particular attention to the ends.
