The health, density and, of course, the beauty of the hair directly depend on how well they are looked after. Shampoos, balms, conditioners - this is not all the means that lovely ladies use to give a magnificent look to their hair. But the best hair care products have always been and remain strengthening hair masks, giving them additional nutrition and hydration.
Modern salons and hairdressers offer a huge range of services to restore and improve the appearance of hair. But masks for strengthening hair at home, prepared from available natural ingredients, are not inferior in their effectiveness to salon procedures. Yes, and they are much cheaper, and you can do them when the soul desires.
When choosing a mask, it is important to consider individual characteristics, structure and type of hair.
Fat-prone hair needs yolk and bread masks. It is also very useful to make firming hair masks using honey, cognac or mustard. For dry, split or brittle hair moisturizing masks with vegetable oils are suitable. Onions are indispensable in the composition of masks for weakened, damaged hair. Normal hair is strengthened with kefir masks with the addition of fruits or vegetables. Kefir creates a protective film on the hair, which protects the cuticle from various injuries.
To achieve the maximum effect, strengthening hair masks need to be able to apply correctly. Here are some tips you might find useful:
- when making a mask, you must strictly adhere to the recipe;
- apply the resulting composition should be 1 hour before shampooing;
- the mask is first rubbed into the hair roots with massage movements, and the remaining composition is evenly distributed over the entire length;
- to enhance the effect, you can insulate your head with a towel, scarf or polyethylene;
- wash off the mask with warm water with the addition of shampoo;
- to consolidate the result, you can rinse your hair with a decoction of sage, chamomile or nettle, as well as water with lemon juice.
- masks are made 2-3 times a week, until the desired result is achieved.

The most common and uncomplicated way to strengthen the hair is rubbing burdock oil into the scalp. It is very simple and inexpensive. But the effect of the mask is amazing. Hair becomes shiny and vibrant. In addition, burdock oil perfectly nourishes the scalp. And not only improves hair growth processes, but can also be used to combat dandruff.
Another popular firming hair mask is made from onion peel. For its preparation, the main ingredient is poured with boiling water, based on the proportions: three full tablespoons of husk per one and a half liters of water.
