Medical mask with sea buckthorn oil
This mask will help even women who are desperate to see their hair strong, shiny and silky. This is a kind of home "doctor" that can stop falling out in several sessions, improve blood circulation in the epidermis of the head, protect and strengthen the roots. Just treat the preparation of the tool with special respect, because in its composition there will be a chemical element - dimexide.
Dimexide - a substance that acts on the skin, as if "opening" all its pores. It is often used to treat bronchitis or pneumonia in the composition of the compress, as dimexide is a real conductor of drugs into the deeper layers of the skin. By supplementing with dimexidum the composition of the hair mask, you ensure sea buckthorn oil to pass straight to the hair follicles. Thus, the structure of the hairs is restored, and the mask has the best therapeutic effect. Be careful: dimexide under no circumstances can not be added in its pure form, only diluted in equal proportions with boiled water!
You can make a mask like this:
1. Pour into a capacity of 3-4 tbsp. l sea buckthorn hair oil
2. Add a mixture of dimexide and water in the ratio of one to one (measured in teaspoons),
3. Add chicken egg yolk and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Thoroughly mix the mask, cover it first with the roots, and then stretch it to the ends of the hair. Put on a transparent polyethylene cap and wait 35-40 minutes. After these manipulations, rinse the head well with shampoo.
We keep the perfect color: sea buckthorn hair oil and colorless henna
Initially, this mask may seem a bit strange: henna is primarily a dye used by women who do not want to buy ammonia hair dye. However, there is colorless henna, which is considered the number one tool for restoring hair structure, combating hair loss and brittleness, and also helps in the battle for perfect color and shine. Support the hair after dyeing and gently protect against external exposure will allow just such a combination: colorless henna plus sea buckthorn hair oil.
Gathered to make their own hands mask? There is nothing easier, take:
• Colorless henna packaging
• 100 ml of hot water
• 2 tbsp. l sea buckthorn oil
• Yolk,
• 1 tsp. natural honey.
Pour the henna into a heat-resistant plate, pour it with hot water and leave it for no more than 10 minutes. Then we supplement it with butter, egg yolk and honey. Hair smear the resulting mass, wrapped with plastic wrap, towel and rest for about half an hour. If you are making a mask for the first time, then 30 minutes is sufficient time for exposure, and subsequently the time period can be increased to 1 hour. After the treatment, wash your head with your daily shampoo, just remember: the more thoroughly you wash your hair, the more beneficial the mask will be. Henna can dry out moisture from the surface of the hair and skin, which will not benefit your hairstyle. That is why it is recommended to wash it off completely, without leaving even the smallest particles.
Sea buckthorn oil for dry hair
Typically, scaly scalp, dandruff and itching indicate that you have a dry and sensitive coat that requires specific care. Do not be surprised if the trichologist tells you that there are very few simple shampoos, balms and conditioners for this type of skin. Try to make your own nourishing mask at home to moisturize the skin well and permanently get rid of annoying itching and dandruff.
Here are the ingredients that make up the mask:
• Sea buckthorn oil - 2 tbsp. l
• Castor oil - 1 tbsp. l
• Pulp of ripe avocado,
• 1 tbsp. l colorless henna drenched in hot water.
Henna steamed with boiling water, and mash the avocado pulp with a fork or whisk in a blender to the consistency of thick gruel. We combine two types of butter and add to avocado. In the same container you need to put 1 tablespoon of steamed henna. According to tradition, the mixture should be applied to the hair, put on a transparent shower cap and cover the head with a thick towel. Now you just have to wait for the allotted time (about 40 minutes) and rinse the hair thoroughly with running water and shampoo.
