Best mustard mask recipe
Easiest cooking recipe with just 4 ingredients. But first, it should be recalled that by increasing the amount of sugar, the “burning” intensifies, so you should be careful with the dosage.
Mix 2 tablespoons of burdock oil and mustard powder, add the yolk and 1 tbsp. l. Sahara. You should get a thick mass, which should be diluted with two tablespoons of warm water. Apply the finished composition strictly on the scalp, and not along the length. If the curls are dry, you can treat them with slightly warmed olive, coconut or the same burdock oil.
