Home Hair Remedies Homemade Hair Masks Recipe

Shampoos and conditioners make our hair clean and soft, but they do not provide nourishing and recovery. For this purposes we need hair masks. Hair masks feed hair with nourishing components, moisturize hair and add hair shine. Hair masks can cure scalp skin, calm it and moisturize. To feel the mask’s effect one should repeat it once or twice a week for couple of months. It is better to do masks by course of treatment, not a different mask every week.

How to apply a hair mask? Nearly every hair mask should be applied from the middle of the head (accept if you have oily scalp), because hair near the roots are new and healthy. If mask is supposed to solve scalp problem (for instance calming mask), then it should of course be applied to the scalp. Hang your head down and rub the mask to the hair, not touching the scalp. Before applying a mask, it is recommended to brush your hair, this way rubbing will be much easier and evenly.
