Every girl dreams of a beautiful head of hair, but in reality, not everyone takes care of her properly, believing that to achieve a good effect is possible only with the help of salon procedures. To date, a large number of ways have been created how to independently make curls healthy without spending a lot of time. One such effective remedy is a beer hair mask.
The benefits of beer
An abundance of recipes, according to which various means can be prepared independently, helps to realize the dream of chic curls. But when choosing, it’s not enough to know what vitamins a beer mask enriches hair with.
First of all, the color of the hair should be taken into account. Dark hops are not recommended for use on light curls, as such masks give a different shade, which will be difficult to get rid of.
Useful vitamins: malt, copper, B vitamins, phosphorus and iron, magnesium, as well as brewer's yeast.
- Hop promotes the growth of curls.
- Yeast rehabilitates damaged follicles.
- The alcohol content slows the production of sebum, thereby eliminating the oily sheen.
But in order to achieve an effective result, you should know how to properly use a hop-drink. For example, if you add ingredients such as an egg, banana or honey, a beer hair mask will not only help to rehabilitate brittle and dry strands, but also make them thicker.
Regular use contributes to:
- strengthening follicles;
- moisturizing curls along the entire length;
- shine and elasticity of curls;
- rehabilitation of the porous structure, as well as mitigation of naughty hairs.
As for contraindications, there is only an individual intolerance to some components.
