An important feature of kefir
Both experts say and reviews: kefir and egg hair mask has a brightening effect. If the hair is natural, it will become lighter and lighter over and over again, and the difference will be noticeable immediately after the first application. For joy, we note that the color will turn out good, beautiful, not faded. But if you dye your hair, everything will be just the opposite. Kefir will wash out the dye, and since we know that our natural hair does not hide under the paint, because the chemistry deforms the pigment and it becomes brown, gradually the color of your hair will become just that. The upper shell of the paint will be washed off, an incomprehensible shade will remain. Therefore, in such cases, it is recommended to refrain from all subsequent recipes or use kefir very rarely - once every two to three months.
Now we will look at the most effective hair masks from kefir and eggs, as well as from other components that will have one effect or another on the hair.
Classic recipe
This is the simplest and most common hair mask made from kefir and eggs, which is based on only these two products. The proportions are determined bylength. For curls of medium length, you will need a glass of kefir and three eggs. There are several secrets here, and they must be learned in order for you to get the most pleasant result.
- You can mix a pure egg with kefir only if your hair is normal and you make a mask in order to restore shine, silkiness, etc.
- If the curls are dry, mix the yolks with kefir.
- In the case when the hair is oily, proteins are mixed with kefir.
- Another pitfall. Kefir washes away not only hair dye, but also silicones. Therefore, if you have been using just such means for a long time, after several procedures with kefir, your hair will become a little dry and will start to fluff. A natural product will wash out the chemistry, and when it completely copes with this task, it will begin to nourish every hair.
Keep a classic kefir mask for about an hour. So she has time to saturate the hair with useful components and will not greatly affect their shade.
Moisturizing dry hair
This mask will be useful if you apply it to your curls once a week for two months. After that, we take a break and again restore the course of treatment. So, before us is a recipe for a hair mask made from kefir, eggs and butter.
- Kefir - must be fat, from 3.5% - 1 glass.
- Eggs - we take only yolks - 3 pcs.
- Oil: avocado, almond, coconut, cocoa, linseed, burdock. Choose any - 2 tbsp. spoons.
Mix all ingredients and heat slightly so as not to apply cold to hair. We distribute the mixture to the roots and to the entire length and keep it on the hair for an hour. It is advisable to wear a hat so that the beneficial components are more firmly fixed on the hairs under the influence of heat.
Treat oily hair
It's not okay if you have to wash long curls every day. Moreover, if you wash them in the morning, and by the evening they already turn into icicles. There is a way out, and this is a simple and affordable hair mask made from kefir, eggs, honey and mustard. How to cook it?
- We take fat-free kefir, maximum 1%, a little more than half a glass.
- Separate only whites from eggs and beat them lightly - 2 pcs
- Honey - 1 tablespoon.
- Mustard - 1 tablespoon dry powder.
The mask is wonderful not only for its drying effect, but also for stimulating growth. If you initially rub the mixture into the roots, and only then distribute it along the entire length, then it will burn a little, as it should be. This means that it has activated the blood circulation in the scalp, and soon you will notice that the hair will become thicker and their growth will accelerate.
Next, we will introduce masks that will suit only brunettes and brown-haired women.
Chocolate Power
If you thought you'd have to melt a bar of chocolate to make this recipe, you're wrong. We will use the raw material from which this product is made - cocoa. Maskfor hair with yogurt and egg flavored with cocoa powder is a great therapy for thin and lifeless hair that has lost its shine, tone and strength.
- Half a glass of yogurt (we choose the percentage of fat content depending on the tendency of your hair).
- Eggs (white or yolk, depending on hair type) - 1 pc
- Cocoa - 2 tbsp. spoons.
The proportions may increase or decrease depending on the length. Mix everything thoroughly and apply to the hair with a brush, alternately sorting through the strands. We wrap it in a bun and put on a hat for 2 hours.
Coffee motifs
Another hair mask, which also has not only a healing, but also a coloring effect. It is easy to prepare, but it takes a long time to wash off: coffee grains are heavily clogged between the hairs. Ingredients:
- Half a glass of yogurt.
- 1 egg.
- A tablespoon of coffee grounds.
- Burdock oil - 1 tbsp. spoon.
First we work with the scalp - massage it with this mask. You will get a kind of peeling that will exfoliate the keratinized layer of the skin, and new hair follicles will awaken, your hair will become thicker over time. Then we distribute the rest of the mask over wet hair, wrap it up and hide it under a hat for 1.5 hours. It will take a long time to wash off, but the result is worth it.
Well, now the masks that suit blondes and those who want to become them.
For dry and fair hair
Lightening hair is always accompanied by drying it out,after all, we actually burn out the color, therefore, we must be prepared for "burns" in the form of brittleness, section and other defects. To make them lighter, but not to dry even more, it is worth preparing the mask correctly. For her you will need:
- 1 glass of very fat yogurt.
- 2 yolks.
- 3 tablespoons of oil - coconut, almond, shea.
- Ground cinnamon - 2 tablespoons.
- Prepare a decoction of chamomile with a few drops of ylang-ylang oil.
So, we apply the mask along the entire length with a brush so that everything is evenly distributed. We keep it on the hair for about 3 hours, then wash it off and rinse with a decoction of chamomile with essential oil. Chamomile will enhance the effect of lightening, and ylang-ylang will give hair shine and fragrance.
For oily and light curls
If the hair is very greasy and oily, you can safely lighten it with folk remedies without fear that it will start to fluff or split. So, a simple mask recipe:
- 1 glass of fat-free yogurt.
- 2 squirrels.
- Juice of one lemon.
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon.
- Tangerine essential oil.
So, in our recipe there are three bleaching components: kefir, lemon and cinnamon. Together they will give an amazing result, the hair will brighten a tone. They also have drying properties, so the fat content will gradually decrease.
