Therapeutic hair masks. The best folk recipes

Curl masks can perform various functions. All of them saturate, strengthen, restore integrity, preserve the color of dyed strands and have various positive effects on the hair. However, for the product to be as effective as possible, it must be used correctly.

Let's look at some basic tips on how best to apply a mask to your hair:

• It makes no sense to use a mask, conditioner, or balm at the same time while washing your hair. All of these products are aimed at improving the condition and softening of hair, but their effects are somewhat different from each other. So, the conditioner acts on the surface of the curl. The mask penetrates its structure. Therefore, conditioners and balms should be washed off a couple of minutes after use. The mask needs to be removed from the head after five to ten minutes on average.
• The best option for using a mask is every 3rd time after washing your hair. In this case, it is applied instead of conditioner. The latter should be used regularly after each wash of the strands, except when applying a mask.
• It is not recommended to use a curl mask more than twice in one week. Otherwise, the hair will be overloaded and its appearance may deteriorate.
• Before you start using a particular mask, you should check whether you are allergic to the product or its components. To do this, be sure to conduct a test. Take no a large number of product and apply it to the inside of the brush. After five to ten minutes you will be able to monitor the presence of a reaction to cosmetic products. If it is not there, then you can safely use the product. Pay special attention to masks containing honey, pepper, and essential oils.
• If you are using a composition that requires dilution or heating, then make sure that the temperature of the product when applied to the head is about 37 degrees, not higher.
• Carefully study the instructions for use of a specific store-bought mask. If you do not follow the instructions for using the product, you can damage your hair.

Almost all of these rules apply to the application of both homemade and purchasing funds for hair. In addition, it is also recommended to take into account the time of applying the composition to the strands - before or after washing. Typically, this depends on the presence of certain components in the product and the desired effect.

No special tools are required to apply masks to strands. Typically, the product is distributed manually with or without gloves. If it is required to be applied to the roots, then it is lightly rubbed in with your fingers. To distribute the product along the entire length of the strands, they resort to the use of brushes and narrow combs with sparse teeth.

“Warming” will help enhance the effectiveness of any hair mask. To do this, put a cellophane cap or a special bath cap on the treated strands and cover your head warm cloth. Thus, the active substances from cosmetic product better penetrate into the hair structure.

Features of using a ready-made hair mask

Store-bought cosmetic products are usually used after washing your hair. Hairdressers' answer to the question: dirty or clean hair Apply the mask purchased at the salon, directly - to cleaned and slightly damp ones.

The algorithm for applying the product to curls in most cases is as follows:

1. Wash your hair with any suitable shampoo. It is advisable that the entire hair care cosmetic line (shampoo, balm, conditioner, mask, oil) be of the same brand.
2. Dry the strands a little with a towel. Don't rub or fluff them. Allow the water to drain on its own. You can wrap your curls in a cloth for two minutes to absorb excess moisture.
3. Before applying the hair mask, lightly hold it in your palms to warm it up to body heat.
4. Apply to strands along the entire length, stretch with a comb if necessary.
5. To improve the effectiveness of a cosmetic product, wrap your head soft cloth. Pre-wrap your hair plastic bag or a bath cap and insulate with a towel.
6. Maintain the time specified in the instructions for the product. Usually this is no more than fifteen minutes.
7. Thoroughly rinse the substance from your strands with plenty of clean water. Make sure that the remnants of the mask are not present in the curls, otherwise they will look greasy and unkempt.
8. Wrap your hair in a soft cloth. Do not try to squeeze the moisture out of them too much so as not to damage the structure.

Remember that you should not use emollients such as conditioner or balm after the mask. Otherwise, the curls will be overloaded active ingredients and silicones. This will negatively affect their appearance.

The subtleties of using homemade hair masks

Homemade masks for curls are as effective as, and sometimes even superior to, store-bought ones. However, their diversity requires more attention during use.
