Homemade masks against hair loss
Despite the wide range of different hair care products available in stores, home methods remain the most effective and beneficial. Masks with natural ingredients do not contain chemicals, carcinogenic and mutagenic substances, and are also cheaper than ready-made cosmetics. Home care with natural ingredients is an opportunity to cope with hair loss and strengthen it. Although the result of the procedures is not immediately noticeable.
Mustard hair mask
Mustard has been used as a fragrant and piquant seasoning for a very long time. However, in addition to its ability to impart a special unique taste to dishes, it also has other useful properties, which allows it to be used in the manufacture of home cosmetics. It is added to baths to make the skin soft and smooth. Mustard wraps are useful. By acting on the skin, they stimulate the process of burning fat deposits.
The dry mustard in the wrap mix enhances blood circulation and metabolism. Due to this property, it is included in the composition of masks. Mixed with other ingredients, mustard powder helps promote hair growth. It is necessary to use funds based on it carefully. Hair from mustard becomes dry, so masks with it should not be applied to the ends. A slight burning sensation of the scalp is possible. To avoid this, sugar is added to the mask mixture. When the burning sensation is felt too much, wash your hair.
Dissolve mustard powder in water. The mixture should be thick enough in consistency. Apply the mask gently to the scalp. After a while, thoroughly wash and rinse hair. Another option for using mustard is also possible. The powder can be diluted with plenty of water and then rinsed there.
The mask will be much more effective if additional components are used in its manufacture. For example, you can mix mustard powder with honey, raw egg yolk, kefir. Alternating the main components helps to get the best result. For one month, you can use honey with mustard, then replace it with kefir and yolk, or use all the ingredients at the same time. So the scalp will not get used to one composition. As soon as you feel a strong burning sensation, wash off the mask. Usually 20-30 minutes is sufficient.
Hair masks with honey and egg

Hair masks with honey are not suitable for those who are allergic to the main component. In all other cases, they quickly restore and strengthen weakened hair.
The egg also serves as a source of many vitamins and minerals. It allows you to moisturize the scalp, and the lecithin that is part of the yolk enhances its protective functions. It is an affordable, cheap but very useful component for home hair care products.
Together, honey and an egg are even more effective. Hair after the mask becomes smooth and silky, less falling out. You will need an egg and a tablespoon of honey. It is better to increase the amount of ingredients if the hair is very long. Beat the egg and add honey to it. You should get a not too thick mass, which must first be applied to the roots, and then to the entire length of the hair. You can pour a little cognac into the mixture. The main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the mask will turn out to be too liquid.
Burdock oil mask
Among all essential oils, it is burdock that is considered the most effective in the fight against hair loss. It contains vitamins A and E. They help restore the structure of damaged hair, moisturize it and heal split ends. Burdock oil also contains inulins and natural proteins.
