Masks for dry hair moisturizing. Recipes for dry and brittle tips

Weak, dry, shineless curls cause inconvenience when laying, have a dull, unhealthy appearance, are prone to loss and do not grow well. Specialists in trichology (the science of hair and scalp) recommend using professional masks for dry and damaged hair and compositions at home.

Useful ingredients in dry hair masks

In the treatment of dryness, hair needs:

• vitamins A, E, F;
• B vitamins;
• iron;
• silicon;
• calcium;
• selenium;
• magnesium;
• zinc.

A full-fledged nutrition for the hair is given by the therapeutic compositions of the masks.

For the preparation of masks, ingredients are used that contain the above elements:

• honey;
• fatty dairy products (cottage cheese, kefir, milk);
• egg yolk (sometimes the egg is completely used);
• decoctions of herbs (chamomile, mint, calendula);
• vegetable oils (burdock, linseed, olive, coconut, peach, castor);
• moisturizing essential oils (frankincense, patchouli, rosewood, orange, sandalwood, lavender).
• pureed fruits (avocado, banana).

In pharmacies and specialized stores, ready-made cosmetic masks are sold. They contain extracts of natural ingredients. Their advantage is ease of use, less time spent on the preparation of the composition, a longer shelf life. Of the minuses, it is worth noting the content of silicone and preservatives.

Mask application instruction

Hair preparation for the procedure

Any treatment mixture should not be applied to heavily soiled hair. Greasy plaque will not allow you to get good nutrition. The presence of styling products will also not bring benefits.

Need to prepare hair for the procedure:

1. A day before applying the composition, it is useful to use a scrub . Owners of dark hair are good coffee. To treat the scalp with a thickened brewed drink and massage gently. Blondes are encouraged to use pink or white clay. After the procedure, rinse your head with shampoo. The execution of this paragraph allows you to exclude washing your hair before using the mask the next day.
2. Washing the head . When performing the first paragraph, the composition is immediately distributed on dry hair or applied to wet, according to the instructions in a specific recipe. If the mask is not oily, you need to wash your hair immediately before applying it. When using oil-based formulations (vegetable or essential oils), you should wash your hair the day before the procedure. This feature is due to the fact that it is difficult to wash the oil. This should be done with shampoo. Additional treatment with detergents will dry the skin. Another reason – a greasy consistency is better absorbed in dry hair, water particles interact poorly with fat.
3. After washing off the shampoo, you need to dry your head with a towel from excess moisture.

Preparation of the composition of the mask and what else will be needed

The mask for dry hair at home is effective when using fresh ingredients, so expired products cannot be used. Do not use metal utensils. The interaction with the acids of fruits and vegetables leads to the oxidation process, which provokes the breakdown of beneficial elements and vitamins. Salts of iron and tin are formed, which will not bring health benefits.

It is necessary to prepare:

• clean glass, wooden or ceramic container;
• gloves
• a spoon or spatula for stirring (it also should not be metal);
• brush or brush for applying the mixture;
• scallop;
• special hat;
• towel;
• blender.

The mask should be of uniform consistency, without pieces, so the fruits, vegetables and cereals used in a specific composition should be pre-crushed in a blender. The ingredients should be mixed until a puree state and immediately applied.

 It is convenient to distribute the mixture with a scallop with wide teeth.

When preparing masks based on oil, it is necessary to preheat it in water to a comfortable temperature. Then add other ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Experts do not recommend storing the remains of the composition for later use. The usefulness of a long-prepared mixture is significantly reduced. Especially unacceptable storage of those compositions that require application in a warm form.

How to apply a mask to hair and how much to keep

Masks for dry hair at home contain natural ingredients to which individual intolerance is not ruled out. Check for an allergic reaction. Apply a small amount of the mask to the delicate skin of the wrist.

In the absence of reaction after 10 minutes, the composition can be used:

• Select small strands.
• Use a brush or brush to apply the composition, gently usd the mask into the scalp with circular massaging movements of the fingers.
• Moisturizing, regenerating masks for damaged hair are distributed over the entire length of the hair from the roots, paying particular attention to split ends.
• Oil masks can not be applied abundantly, pouring a large amount immediately onto the head. In this case, it will be very difficult to wash off a greasy coating. Such formulations are gently rubbed.
• After the mixture is applied, you should close your hair with a plastic cap and wrap your head in a towel, unless there are special instructions in the recipe.

Masks for treating dry hair have a moisturizing effect. At home, it is impossible to harm them by prolonged exposure.

But you should adhere to the main recommendations:

• formulations based on fatty dairy products or honey can withstand 30 minutes;
• masks containing oils are washed off an hour or two after application;
• mixtures containing essential oils can be left for several hours;
• masks with the addition of herbal decoctions hold, on average, half an hour;
• finished products purchased in stores should be applied strictly according to the instructions, keeping the specified time.

How to wash off the composition

At the end of the exposure time, the composition is washed off, adhering to the following rules:

1. The mask is never removed from the hair with soap.
2. Compositions based on herbs, fruits, vegetables that do not have a greasy base are removed by rinsing with warm water. Rinse hair well.
3. Mixtures containing egg white should be washed off with
   cool water. High temperature will cause the protein to coagulate and its particles will be more difficult to remove from the head. It is useful to complete the process with herbal decoction, for example, chamomile or nettle.
4. It is difficult to wash off a greasy composition based on oil. Be sure to use shampoo after the procedure.

To make the oil better washed off from the hair, cosmetologists advise using one of the recommendations before using shampoo:

• Process the hair with whipped yolk. He has the ability to collect fat around him. Wash off with water.
• Apply rye flour or corn starch for 10 minutes. Comb your hair well and wash with shampoo. There is another way – mix rye flour with milk or water.
• Dissolve one tablet of aspirin in a shampoo, it rinses the oil well.
• Add milk to the shampoo. This will not only help better fat removal, but also provide hair with additional nutrition.
• Rinse hair with nettle or chamomile decoction.

Hair care after the procedure

After the procedure, the hair should be dried with a towel and wait for natural drying, without using a hair dryer.

With a tendency to dryness, proper daily care is required:

1. Regularly after washing the hair, it is necessary to use balms that moisturize and smooth the surface of the hair.
2. You do not need to wash your hair every day, just twice a week.
3. At every 3 or 4 hair wash, replace the balm with a moisturizing mask.
4. Trim split ends regularly.
5. Staining is carried out no more than 1 time in a month and a half.
6. Minimize contact with hot styling equipment.

Compliance with the rules of gentle care will return dry curls beauty, elasticity and shine. They will acquire a healthy appearance, and styling will require less time.
