Beautiful hair is the main decoration of women. This is a long-known axiom. Why so few women can be proud of their hair?
Trouble with hair? Is it really inevitable?
Over the years, wrinkles appear on the face, the figure loses its flexibility and girlish harmony. These are all natural processes that can be slightly adjusted. Hair also age over time - become dull, brittle and grow more slowly. If in order to bring the skin and figure to good condition, you need months and the help of specialists, as well as considerable financial investments, then returning youth to your hair is only a matter of several weeks.
In our article, we will talk about how to make dry, rare, dull and brittle hair alive and beautiful.
Where to begin?
In order to put your head in order as soon as possible, you need to start an offensive from all fronts. What is meant by this? Proper washing and nutrition of hair.
Hard tap water weakens hair no worse than acid rain, so tune in to wash your hair with boiled water and decoctions of herbs for a month. For the recovery period, this is not so difficult. After all, we are going to tidy up not the hair of knee-length with a slanting thickness in the arm, but liquid and dull hair, hardly falling below the middle of the shoulder blades.
In order to wash your hair, just one bucket of boiled water with nettle leaves brewed in it or with flowers of a pharmacy chamomile is enough. After the first procedure, the hair will come to life, and metabolic processes in the cells of the scalp are activated.
Preliminary washing of the head should be the application of useful masks for nourishing hair, the recipes of which we will share in this article. Rinsed hair is recommended to rinse with water with two or three tablespoons of tablespoon, and preferably natural, fruit vinegar. From this they will shine and are easy to comb without loss.
What do you need to do first?
First of all, the hair and scalp must be cleaned of the remnants of varnish and other aggressive substances that were applied to the hair before and were designed to make the hair style beautiful, but in fact it spoiled the condition of both the scalp and the hair.
For initial cleaning, we need baking soda. She will dry her hair, but this will have to be reconciled, because this procedure is done only once, and cleansing is a necessary element of any therapeutic procedure. After it, the beneficial substances that we will apply subsequently will manifest themselves quickly and properly.
Soda powder should be gently rubbed into the skin and massage. Leave on for five minutes, then rub back into hair and skin. Wash off with water without soap and shampoo, but with a decoction of herbs.
Hair will be transformed immediately. So that they do not push too much, first prepare a weakly concentrated decoction of flax seeds and apply it on your hair with your palm. As you know, flax decoction is a thick jelly, easily absorbed by the cells of the epithelium. According to its microbiological composition, it is a perfectly balanced and concentrated hair nutrition.
Dry your head. Use your hands to add volume to the hairstyle, comb and style your hair in the simplest possible way without using stylers and other store chemicals - they will be successfully replaced with linen kissel. Summer is the time for such experiments. If you do not like loose hair, then collect it in a tail or stab it with hairpins.
Next stage
Do the second wash in a couple of days. From now on, wash your hair only with dry mustard or the mixtures recommended below to moisturize and nourish your hair. It is known that the famous singer Anna Herman, whose golden curls were admired by the whole world, only washed her face with mustard powder. Mustard dries the hair, but it perfectly wash off the traces of any mask for nourishing and restoring hair, at least those that we recommend applying half an hour before washing.
Mustard powder should be rubbed carefully into the hair roots, but carefully. Keep mustard until a burning sensation appears. It is better to carry out this procedure, lying in a bath with hot water. So the process will go faster. Wash off the composition with water and a decoction of herbs. Use vinegar to rinse. After the first procedure, you will not recognize your hair - it will become shiny, soft and gliding.
Indian herbs
Ayurvedic stores sell soap-based hair shampoos. We recommend them as well as healers. Often, in addition to soap nuts, they also include other herbs. You can choose a shampoo suitable for a certain type and color of hair. These shampoos are available in the form of powders and emulsions. They, as a rule, hardly soap themselves and do not create the usual foamy hat. It doesn’t scare you - they perfectly wash off the dirt, moreover, improve blood microcirculation, remove toxins from the cells, saturate them with vitamins and microelements.
Almost every Ayurvedic shampoo is not only a detergent, but also a mask for nourishing hair. The reviews of those women who use natural Indian hygiene cosmetics confirm this.
Egg yolk and honey
Egg yolk is a natural bank of easily assimilated vitamins and minerals. The same goes for honey. The mask below is recommended for 3–4 repetitions within a month. It is ideal not only for nourishing dry hair, but also for normalizing oily, prone to greasy a few hours after washing. One yolk and a tablespoon of honey must be mixed with two tablespoons of mustard powder and applied to the hair, combining this with a scalp massage. Hold for 30 minutes. Rinse with a decoction of herbs or vinegar. This is a very successful mask that not only perfectly cleanses the head without shampoo or soap, but also activates blood circulation and fills the epithelial cells with useful substances.
Rye bread and egg yolk
Rye bread has long been used for shampooing. Our grandmothers took soaked rye crackers from kvass and rubbed their heads. Kvass yeast and the rough structure of bread contribute to the growth of healthy and strong hair. This home remedy is suitable for frequent use.
Since few people cook kvass now, we recommend regularly making masks to nourish the hair and cleanse it from fresh bread mixed with egg yolks.
Using a blender, turn the cereal and egg mass into a homogeneous porridge, slightly warm to body temperature and apply to the hair for half an hour. For the best effect, wrap your head with cling film and a bath towel.
Such a mask for nourishing hair (reviews confirm this) does not require shampoo, because it cleanses and softens hair well. It has the properties of an air conditioner.
Honey and powder from burdock roots
Burdock is an unpretentious plant that can be found in any Russian meadow. Its roots have unique healing properties and are used for a variety of ailments. Burdock root oil is one of the best hair products, but any oil is difficult to wash off without shampoo, and our goal is to make hair young and beautiful in record time. Ordinary shampoos should be completely excluded for the entire period of treatment!
Burdock root accumulates the largest amount of nutrients by autumn, so we recommend digging a few rhizomes in September, rinse, dry and grind into powder, which is subsequently used for drinks, ointments and oil extracts. In summer, fresh roots can be used.
Washed and crushed root in a blender must be mixed with honey in such a way that a thick, doughy mixture is obtained. It can be stored in the refrigerator, but not longer than a month. Before each use, it should be heated in a water bath. Honey with burdock root is a real elixir of beauty, it is an excellent treatment and nutrition for hair. Apply a warm mixture to the hair, and rinse after 20-30 minutes. After a month of such procedures, the hair will become no worse than a child who has not reached a transitional age.
Amla
A mask of amla powder can be used as an additional nutrition for hair follicles. This Indian plant has long been loved by women in southern countries. Finally, it crossed the borders of the Russian Federation and appeared on the shelves of our stores selling Ayurvedic drugs. Amla is mixed with egg yolk or honey, left on the head for a couple of tens of minutes, and then washed off with water and vinegar.
Honey and rye bran
Rye bran is practically devoid of useful trace elements, but thanks to its coarse structure, it is ideal for cleansing and activating blood circulation. To maximize the benefit of the procedure, combine the bran with honey and egg yolk. Apply warm gruel to hair and rub thoroughly into the head. Twenty minutes will be enough for the skin fat to dissolve and the nutrients to be absorbed and fixed. Such a mask is easily washed off with boiled water, in which you can add vinegar or herbal decoction.
A few words about oil
The use of oils of various plants for the treatment of hair is a good thing, and we do not at all deny their benefits. But not everyone likes treatment with oils, because they need to be washed off very carefully, sometimes with aggressive shampoos or soaps. Light oil, recommended as a conditioner, improves the appearance of only relatively healthy and thick hair. For this reason, to restore a neglected head, we recommend for a month to abandon any oils and shampoos, and use only softened water.
After a month of recommended therapy, you can again return to the usual means of care, not forgetting that at least once a year, the hair requires rest and recovery.
