Rules for using hair masks at home
These simple techniques will help to properly apply hair masks at night and achieve noticeable results within a month.
• To prepare the composition, to apply the mask to the hair until the morning, use only soft, gentle components that do not heat the skin. Masks with grated onions, mustard powder or red pepper are best used in a short period of time up to 30 minutes. Otherwise, they can cause irritation on the skin, peeling and even provoke excessive dryness and brittle hair.
• The composition for the mask should be at room temperature or a little warm, tolerant to the skin, in which case it is better absorbed and nutrients penetrate the pores faster.
• A hair mask for the night at home is applied to clean, dry hair, otherwise the remnants of styling products (varnishes, mousses and others) are mixed with the components of the mask.
• A nourishing hair mask is applied to the scalp with a brush or fingers, carefully rubbed into the roots, then evenly distributed over the entire length. Hair is carefully collected around the head, covered with a plastic hat and a scarf or towel.
• It is better not to store the prepared composition, but to use it immediately, since the crushed products quickly deteriorate and lose their beneficial properties.
• In the cool season, in no case should you go outside with unkempt hair, so you need to correctly calculate the time for exposure and washing off the mask.
• In the summer, try to cover your head, not only to avoid overheating, but also because UV radiation has a special effect on hair soaked in a nutritious composition and can lead to lightening or increased fragility.
After regular use of homemade hair masks for the whole night, about 2-3 times a week, after a month and a half, you will notice significant improvements:
• hair becomes smooth, silky, acquire a natural shine;
• hair roots are strengthened, hair loss stops;
