Here you need to consider that you can (and should) use several types of masks - moisturizing, strengthening and nourishing.
Nourishing Masks
So, dry hair needs to be nourished with useful substances – this is the only way to restore the structure and beauty of the curls. Let's turn to the experience of our ancestors and use home remedies:
- Yolk, spoon cognac and a little honey - inthe result should be a thick mass. It should be rubbed into the ends of the hair, then roll the hair into the tail and stab it - so all the nutrients will penetrate all the hair;
- Oat flakes grind on a coffee grinder and steama small amount of boiling water - will get a viscous mass. It should be applied for the entire length of the hair, while the temperature of the mask should be about 30-35 degrees (well warm). In the mixture should be added a little (literally 5 drops) burdock oil.
Remember the only rule for nourishing masks: keep them on your head for no more than 30 minutes, and then wash them off with warm water and shampoo.
Moisturizing Masks
It helps to fight dry hair very well.kefir is a truly universal product! And you don’t need to invent anything, invent or select components – just apply kefir (2-3% fat) to your hair and wash it off with warm water after half an hour. After three months of such masks, you yourself will be surprised at how shiny and heavy your curls have become. And here are a few more mask options:
- We take oil (for example, sea-buckthorn) and severaldrops of lemon juice and rubbed into the hair - try not to miss a single one, and process the entire length of the hair. In this version, you can also use burdock oil, linseed oil and almond oil;
- Take the crushed leaves of plantain andmix with vegetable oil (you can take any, but ideally suits the olive), now spread the gruel along the entire length of the hair. After 40 minutes, rinse with shampoo and rinse thoroughly with a plantain infusion. This mask simply moisturizes your hair luxuriously, and you will immediately notice how fewer the split ends are. To enhance the effect, the hair can be "packaged" in polyethylene and wrapped in a towel - compresses have not yet brought anyone harm.

- Castor oil is the most effective methodstrengthen hair. Buy a capsule in the pharmacy with this oil and just squeeze it on your hair - apply on the entire length and necessarily rub into the roots and the scalp;
- Raw grated onion is the simplest and mosteffective method. This method was also used by our grandparents, so do not neglect such an invaluable experience. Yes, please note that the smell from this mask is not very pleasant. Take care that you are alone, and no one interferes with you. The mask is washed off with plain warm water, you can even without shampoo;
- Burdock root, steamed in boiling water and mixedwith sour cream - another version of the strengthening mask. At the same time, make sure that the mass is on the scalp of the head - it is not necessary to apply the entire length of the hair. Wash off with shampoo and warm water.
If after 3-4 months there are no such procedureschanges were not noticed, then consult a trichologist - a doctor who treats hair, will tell you exactly what the reason is and how to care for it. It is even possible to use physiotherapy procedures, for example, exposure to the scalp with small electric discharges - stimulating hair growth.
