Rules for applying hair masks
In order for the masks to have a really strengthening effect on the hair, you need to be able to correctly carry out this simple procedure. One of the most important rules is to check the components of the mask for allergens. Usually, a little of the mixture is applied to the back of the elbow, where there is thin sensitive skin. If redness and swelling appear soon, the mask cannot be applied.
The second rule of applying masks is to do it before washing your hair. Thus, you do not risk burning your hair if the mask contains lemon juice and other powerful ingredients.
The third rule is the use of only fresh products, as well as the preparation of the composition for the mask immediately before the procedure. Also stick to the amount indicated in the recipes. The duration of the mask is also not worth changing, especially lengthening, this is fraught with a negative effect on the follicles and scalp. Of course, it all depends on what products you make the mask from.
If this is oil and kefir, nothing will happen from increasing the duration of the procedure, on the contrary, there will be only benefit, but masks with brandy, vodka or red pepper can cause severe skin irritation and even inflammation
Start applying the mixture from the roots. Part your hair in a part and apply a little of the mixture, distribute it along the entire length, then separate the strand with a comb and repeat everything. When all the mixture is applied to your hair, pick it up, place it on the back of your head, secure with an elastic band and wrap your head with plastic wrap. And then warm it up with a towel. For short hair, the procedure is simplified, just rub the mixture over the head.
Rinse off the masks with warm water and shampoo, which must be balanced according to your hair type.
Alternate masks. For example, today you make a honey mask, and after a couple of days, apply a kefir mask. This will bring more benefits and help stop hair loss faster.
