Vodka masks for hair – recipes and proper application

Vodka contains no nutrients as it is just ethyl alcohol mixed with water, but it is often included in folk remedies for healthy hair. The reason for the high effectiveness of masks with water lies in the properties of the drink: vodka dissolves the oily film that covers the hair at the roots, which promotes the penetration of nutrients into skin cells, alcohol increases blood circulation and causes a rush of blood to the hair follicles, ethanol kills pathogenic bacteria, and vodka is also hypoallergenic and does not burn the scalp like alcohol.

The benefits of vodka hair masks

One of the most effective ways to stop baldness and stimulate hair growth is to wake up the “sleeping” bulbs. This principle is based on massage techniques using vodka tinctures, which have a warming effect.

Applying hair masks is much more convenient than rubbing in lotions:

  • it takes less time to apply a mask than a daily intensive massage with lotions;
  • the composition of the masks can be adjusted depending on the degree of sensitivity of the scalp and hair type.

To make the preparation of masks take a minimum of time, in the summer they stock up on medicinal tinctures from:

  • May nettle;
  • parsley;
  • chamomile flowers;
  • celandine;
  • oak bark.

Recipes for hair masks with vodka

Rules for the use of masks:

  1. for oily hair, masks are used without restrictions;
  2. for dry and brittle hair, be sure to add 1 teaspoon of pork, goose or horse fat. To get the fat of the desired consistency, the lard is cut into small pieces, melted in a water bath, without boiling, then the lard is carefully drained (do not filter). The remaining cracklings can be used for culinary purposes. Such fat contains ceramides and collagen, similar in structure to human. Lard is stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 months;
  3. if the scalp is sensitive, lard is added even with oily hair. For additional hydration, the mask includes 1-2 teaspoons of aloe juice or golden mustache. The most useful is the juice of leaves that have lain in the refrigerator for 3-5 days before pressing. It is recommended to dilute excess juice with vodka in a ratio of 1: 1, store in the refrigerator and use as needed;
  4. most masks are kept on the head for 1,5–2 hours. An exception is a mask of vodka with pepper, which can not be kept for more than 30-40 minutes. If the burning sensation becomes too strong, the suspension must be washed off even before the expiration date;
  5. after applying the mask to the hair, the head must be insulated, covered with a plastic cap and tied with a warm cloth on top;
  6. in order to beat off the smell of onions and other ingredients that make up the mask, the hair is rinsed with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. To 3-4 liters of water, add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar and 2 teaspoons of baking soda;
  7. during the treatment procedures it is forbidden to use a hairdryer, therefore it is necessary to make masks and wash your hair after them in the evening.
