Many people think that mayonnaise is more appropriate in the kitchen than on the dressing table. And of course it is. But do you know about the beneficial effects of mayonnaise for hair? Read reviews and photos of the preparation of various masks based on this salad dressing and see below. But before starting our story, it should be warned that not all mayonnaises are equally useful. The in-store product has emulsifiers, stabilizers and other “chemistry” that will definitely affect your hair. Better to make mayonnaise yourself. With a good electric mixer, this will take about a quarter of an hour. But you will have a safe effective hair mask, and its residues can be safely used for dressing salads and other dishes.
So, in one egg yolk at room temperature add a pinch of salt and sugar. We begin to whip and in the process add vegetable oil drop by drop. If you want to use the resulting mayonnaise as food, they recommend olive, but if for cosmetic purposes only - burdock. Beat until a stable emulsion is obtained. Now you can add other useful ingredients - mustard, lemon juice, chilled egg white foam.
The benefits of homemade mayonnaise for hair
Already the only products serving as a component of the sauce (aka mask) indicate the expected therapeutic effect. After all, olive oil is an invaluable storehouse of vitamin E. It helps strengthen the roots. Hair will not fall out if you make mayonnaise with the addition of burdock oil. Egg yolk promotes hair growth. In addition, it gives flat curls the desired volume.
Mayonnaise hair treatment reviews are recommended for those people whose hair is dull, lifeless or very much cut as a result of dyeing or curling. Lemon juice or vinegar in combination with mustard will eliminate dandruff and disinfect the skin. Owners of oily hair can also use mayonnaise masks. But whipped protein should be added to this product. And you need to apply the mask only on the ends of the curls.
The simplest mask is regular mayonnaise.
Such an application is suitable for all victims of perm. If the hair falls out in handfuls, and the hair that still remains on the head has ends split off, this mask should be urgently applied. It should be applied before washing the head. The usual, without any additives, homemade mayonnaise for hair, reviews are recommended to be applied in a thick layer. You need to start with the tips of the ends. Then apply to partings and comb along the entire length. In order for the mask to distribute well, it is necessary to moisten the hair slightly before applying it. To increase the therapeutic effect, you should insulate your head. We put on a cellophane cap for showering, and on top of it - a scarf, hat or terry towel.
In case of major hair damage, reviews are advised to hold the mask for an hour or even an hour and a half. Mayonnaise, as a product in vegetable oil, is rather oily, and it is unlikely to be washed off at a time. But the therapeutic effect is worth the double (or even triple) amount of shampoo spent. Be sure to use a rinsing conditioner after washing.
A variety of mayonnaise masks
According to your hair type and the problem that torments you, add other useful ingredients to the sauce. Do you want to strengthen the roots, prevent loss? Then, in hair mayonnaise, reviews are advised to pour a little mustard powder, and make the sauce on the basis of burdock oil. But such a mask should not be worn for more than twenty-five minutes. Mustard, hot from the head, can cause itching and redness of the scalp.
Makes hair grow faster than rosemary. Dry needles should be thoroughly crushed in a mortar to a powder state. Burdock extract will help soften brittle hair . Want to get rid of dandruff? Then prepare the mask with the addition of almond oil and dry nettles. Coconut oil will help oily hair. Dull strands will glisten and flow like silk, if you mix whipped protein in mayonnaise during its preparation. Grape seed oil will moisturize dry curls.
How to get rid of unwanted properties of mayonnaise
This sauce is rather oily. To prevent the hair from looking dirty and sticky, rinse your hair with shampoo several times. You should choose the appropriate tool. This in no case should be a shampoo for oily hair. It is best to use a detergent for children with a minimum of harmful parabens and extraneous additives.
Shampoo should also be applied wisely. It must first be diluted with a small amount of warm water to a liquid state. So shampoo will best penetrate the oily mask and wash the mayonnaise from the head. The sauce has a characteristic and very persistent (especially the factory product) smell. In order not to “smell” a delicious salad, reviews recommend adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to hair mayonnaise. It will remove unwanted odor.
How else use mayonnaise for cosmetic purposes
A hair mask can be safely applied to the face, if you are the owner of dry skin. But there is another application for mayonnaise in cosmetology. Are you dyed, but unhappy with the result? Start making homemade salad dressing. To wash hair dye with mayonnaise, reviews recommend adding an extra portion of olive oil to it. Two hundred grams of his sauce will need three tablespoons. After this, a liquid mask is applied to the hair roots and spread with a comb with rare teeth along the entire length. It is necessary to insulate the head. With such a mask you should walk for about three hours.
Lightening hair with mayonnaise
Reviews repeatedly mention not only that the sauce washes away the paint. But mayonnaise itself can act as it. Especially if you add lemon juice to the mask. True, the lighting effect will be small - by one or two tones. So it’s unlikely that you can turn from a brunette into a Scandinavian blonde with just one mayonnaise and citrus juice.
But hair coloring will not give those undesirable effects, as when using factory products. The tips will not split, and the curls will not change their color after several washes of the head. To enhance the brightening effect, mayonnaise should be diluted with kefir. You can add a spoonful of honey and a pinch of cinnamon.
Lamination of hair with mayonnaise
Reviews give several recipes for this cosmetic procedure. Not everyone can afford to make gelatin or other lamination of hair in the salon. And at home, this procedure does not require a lot of money. If, of course, you have at hand a quality homemade mayonnaise. For hair of medium length and normal thickness, we need two tablespoons of it. We will beat one chicken egg or (which is preferable) two quail eggs into it, and then stir. Now we’ll pour a quarter cup of yogurt or nonfat yogurt into the mass (without flavoring additives).
Add another important component - castor oil. It will need one tablespoon. Stir and apply on hair. We put on a shower cap and heat the head with a hairdryer for a quarter of an hour. We’ll just sit there for another fifteen minutes, waiting for the hair to cool naturally. Then rinse with ordinary shampoo. This lamination is very gentle. The procedure can be performed once a week, and for owners of naughty and dull hair - twice as often.
Nutritional Mask Recipes
Hair mayonnaise reviews are called a universal remedy for eliminating dryness and brittleness. To enhance the effect, one teaspoon of sauce should be added with tea honey and vegetable oil. Reviews recommend olive, almond, castor or burdock. Another recipe for a nutritious mask is with mayonnaise and fat cottage cheese. Cheese should be twice as much as sauce. The mixture should be diluted with warm milk. It will need a small amount - just to turn the cottage cheese with mayonnaise into a creamy mass.
The following recipe will not only help you make your hair healthy and strengthened, but also make it grow faster. Take a spoonful of yeast, dilute them with warm kefir. Put the dishes in a warm place for thirty minutes. When the yeast ferments, add the yolk, a spoonful of mayonnaise and a slice of soft butter. To discourage the unpleasant odor, drip some essential oils. Apply a mask to the hair roots. Distribute the comb along the entire length. After an hour, rinse with shampoo.
We fight with dandruff
The fungus that causes peeling of the scalp will help eliminate the mask of hair mayonnaise . Reviews are advised to first heat a spoonful of honey in a water bath. When it becomes liquid, you should add it to mayonnaise, the amount of which should be twice as large. Pour a teaspoon of aloe juice into the mixture and stir. Grind a few cloves of garlic thoroughly. Squeeze juice out of them. It should turn out a little - a tablespoon. The whole composition is mixed again and applied to unwashed, but slightly moistened hair. Wash off after forty minutes with shampoo diluted with water.
