- castor and burdock oil;
- egg;
- gelatin;
- honey;
- lemon;
- decoction of nettle and chamomile;
- aloe juice;
- bow.
In hair masks, other ingredients are used, but these are the basis of any effective mask.
Mask for strengthening hair roots with castor oil
Masks to strengthen the hair bulbs should contain castor oil, as it significantly thickens the hair and promotes their growth. Castor oil nourishes the hair and makes it supple due to its dense base. It is difficult to wash off, so you need to make a mask with its content when there is a large amount of shampoo in stock.
Take 2 yolks and mix them with 6 tbsp. l. castor oil. Thanks to the egg, this mask will be much easier to wash off, and, moreover, the yolk is very useful for hair, making them shiny and obedient.
To strengthen the roots of hair, you can add a little pink clay to the mask, which helps moisturize the skin. This mixture is applied primarily to the roots of hair, rubbing in circular motions. After applying the mask on the head, you need to put on a shower cap and wash your head after 2 hours.
Onion mask for strengthening the roots of hair
Another ingredient that transforms hair is the onion. It has a sharp, unpleasant smell, which persists in the hair for a long time, but it is able to restore the hair for 3-4 procedures.
Take 5 tbsp. l. burdock oil and add 4 tbsp. l. onion juice. This mixture is rubbed into the scalp and then distributed through the hair along the entire length. Then you need to put on a shower cap and warm your hair with a warm airy hair dryer for about 5 minutes. After 2 hours, the mask is washed off.
Egg mask with lemon juice to strengthen greasy hair
Masks for oily hair, intended for strengthening, should contain oil. This seems controversial, but if the scalp is made more dry with masks, the sebaceous glands will begin to work even more actively due to a violation of the usual fat balance.
Take olive oil (it is the most neutral in terms of viscosity, and therefore, it is well washed off with shampoo, leaving no fatty film) - 5 tablespoons, add 5 drops of vitamin E, 1 egg, 1 tbsp. l. honey and 1 tsp. lemon juice. Mix the ingredients, and then apply them to the hair, spreading over the entire length, paying special attention to the roots. After 1 hour, the mask needs to be washed off.
This mask performs two functions: it feeds on one side (olive oil and vitamin E), and on the other
Mask for strengthening dry colored hair with gelatin and aloe juice
Prepare the gelatin - 1 tsp. for half a glass of water, and after it is formed, mix it with 2 tablespoons water. yogurt and 1 tbsp. juice of aloe. After distribution on all length of hair, the mask needs to be warmed up: put on a shower cap and direct a hot stream of the hair dryer to hair within 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, this mask needs to be washed off with shampoo, and at the end of washing the head rinse the hair with a decoction of chamomile or nettle.
This mask does not contain oil, as it flushes the pigment from the colored hair. Aloe and gelatin juice will strengthen and smooth the structure of the hair, and the sour milk will enrich them with calcium.
