How to prepare a mask to strengthen hair at home?

Burdock oil is not able to penetrate the follicles and somehow affect hair loss, but it does a good job of restoring the lipid barrier of the hair, which will appeal to weakened strands.

Mix a tablespoon of melted honey, aloe juice and burdock oil in a bowl. Apply the mixture to your hair, leave it for an hour or two, and then wash it off with shampoo. It seems that everything is simple, but there is a high risk of mixing up the proportions and ending up with greasy hair that even the best deep-cleaning shampoo cannot wash off!

With castor oil

Combine a tablespoon of castor oil and the same amount of honey and heat slightly. Add three drops of bey essential oil, two drops of orange essential oil and raw yolk to the mask. Stir until smooth and apply to lengths, focusing on ends. Leave for no longer than an hour, then rinse off first with cool water, and then with warm water, adding shampoo.

The same fate may befall you here. And needless to say, if you make a slight mistake with the temperature, the egg will curl right on your hair!

With shea butter and jojoba

Mix one tablespoon each of shea, jojoba and glycerin with half a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and an egg yolk. Distribute the mixture throughout your hair, leave for 30 to 40 minutes and rinse with cool running water. If your strands seem greasy, complete the procedure by washing your hair.

And here, in addition to the risk of getting greasy strands or scrambled eggs on your head, you risk burning your sensitive skin with vinegar. Do you need it?

Homemade and store-bought masks work slightly differently. How do you strengthen your hair?
