Beautiful hair is the main decoration of women. This is a well-known axiom. Why are so few women proud of their hair?
Hair trouble? Is it 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 corrected. Hair also ages over time - it becomes dull, brittle and grows more slowly. If in order to bring your skin and figure into good condition, you need months and the help of specialists, as well as considerable financial investments, then restoring youth to your hair is just a matter of a few weeks.
In our article we will talk about how to make dry, sparse, dull and brittle hair alive and beautiful.
Where to start?
In order to put your head in order as soon as possible, you need to launch 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 make up your mind to wash your hair only with boiled water with herbal decoctions for a month. For the recovery period, this is not so difficult. After all, we are going to tidy up not knee-length hair with a scythe as thick as an arm, but thin and dull hair, hardly falling below the middle of the shoulder blades.
To wash your hair, just one bucket of boiled water with nettle leaves brewed in it or with chamomile flowers is enough. After the first procedure, the hair will come to life, and the metabolic processes in the cells of the scalp will be activated.
Washing should be preceded by applying he althy masks to nourish the hair, the recipes of which we will share in this article. Washed hair is recommended to rinse with water with two or three tablespoons of table, and preferably natural, fruit vinegar. This will make them shiny and easy to comb without loss.
What should I do first?
First of all, the hair and scalp need to be cleaned of the remnants of varnish and other aggressive substances that were applied to the hair before and were designed to make the hairstyle beautiful, but in fact they spoiled the condition of both the scalp and hair.
For the initial cleaning we need baking soda. It will dry your hair, but you will have to put up with it, 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 later will manifest themselves quickly and properly.
Soda powder should be gently rubbed into the skin and massaged. Leave on for five minutes, then gently massage into hair againand skin. Rinse with water without soap and shampoo, but with a decoction of herbs.
Hair will immediately change. So that they do not fluff too much, first prepare a weakly concentrated decoction of flax seeds and apply it to your hair with your palm. As you know, flax decoction is a thick jelly, easily absorbed by epithelial cells. In terms of microbiological composition, it is a perfectly balanced and concentrated nutrition for hair.
Dry your head. Give volume to your hair with your hands, comb and style your hair in the simplest possible way without the use of stylers and other store-bought chemicals - they will be successfully replaced by flaxseed jelly. Summer is the time for such experiments. If you do not like loose hair, then collect it in a ponytail or pin it up with hairpins.
Next step
Do a 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 German, whose golden curls were admired by the whole world, washed her hair only with mustard powder. Mustard dries out hair, but is great for removing traces of any nourishing and restorative mask, at least the ones we recommend applying half an hour before washing.
Mustard powder should be rubbed into the hair roots gently but thoroughly. Mustard should be kept until a burning sensation appears. It is better to carry out this procedure while lying in a hot water bath. So the process will go faster. Rinse off with decoction of waterherbs. Use vinegar to rinse. Already after the first procedure, you will not recognize your hair - it will become shiny, soft and gliding.
Indian herbs
Ayurvedic stores sell shampoos for hair nourishment based on soap nuts. It is them that we recommend as well as healing. Often, in addition to the soap nut, 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, almost do not lather and do not create the usual head of foam. Don't let that scare you - they perfectly wash away dirt, also improve blood microcirculation, remove toxins and toxins from cells, saturate them with vitamins and microelements.
Almost every Ayurvedic shampoo is not only a cleanser, but also a mask to nourish the hair. Reviews of those women who use natural Indian hygiene cosmetics confirm this.
Egg yolk and honey
Egg yolk is a natural bank of easily digestible vitamins and microelements. The same goes for honey. The mask presented 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 hair within 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, combiningThis is with scalp massage. Hold for 30 minutes. Wash off with a decoction of herbs or vinegar water. 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 to wash hair. Our grandmothers took out soaked rye crackers from kvass and rubbed their heads with them. Kvass yeast and the rough structure of bread are the best way to promote the growth of he althy and strong hair. This home remedy is suitable for frequent use.
Since few people cook kvass now, we recommend regularly making masks to nourish and cleanse hair from fresh bread mixed with egg yolks.
Using a blender, turn the bread and egg mass into a homogeneous porridge, warm it up a little to body temperature and apply it to your hair for half an hour. For the best effect, wrap your head with cling film and a terry towel.
This mask for hair nutrition (reviews confirm this) does not require shampoo, because it cleans and softens hair well. It also has the properties of a conditioner.
Honey and burdock root powder
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, andour goal is to make hair young and beautiful in record time. Conventional shampoos should be completely excluded for the entire period of treatment!
Burdock root accumulates the greatest amount of useful substances by autumn, so we advise you to dig up a few rhizomes in September, wash, dry and grind into powder, which will later be used for drinks, ointments and oil extracts. In summer, you can use a fresh root.
The root, washed and chopped in a blender, must be mixed with honey so that a thick pasty 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. Burdock root honey is a real beauty elixir, it is an excellent treatment and nutrition for hair. Apply the warm mixture to your hair and rinse after 20-30 minutes. After a month of such procedures, the hair will become no worse than that of a child who has not reached the transitional age.
Amla
Amla powder mask can be used as an additional nourishment 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 due to its coarse structure, it is ideal forcleansing and activating blood circulation. For the procedure to bring maximum benefit, combine bran with honey and egg yolk. Apply a warm gruel to the hair and rub it thoroughly into the head. Twenty minutes will be enough for the sebum to dissolve, and the beneficial substances to be absorbed and fixed. Such a mask is easily washed off with boiled water, to which vinegar or herbal decoction can be added.
A few words about oil
The use of oils of various plants for hair treatment is a good thing, and we do not deny their benefits at all. But not everyone likes treatment with oils - after all, they need to be washed off very carefully, sometimes with the help of aggressive shampoos or soaps. A light oil, recommended as a conditioner, only improves the appearance of relatively he althy and thick hair. It is for this reason that in order to restore a neglected head, we recommend abandoning any oils and shampoos for a month, and using only softened water.
After a month of recommended therapy, you can return to your usual care products, not forgetting that at least once a year your hair needs rest and restoration.
