In order for your hair to be beautiful and healthy, it must be properly cared for. But in the modern world, not all women have enough time and money to visit beauty salons. And is it worth paying a lot of money for the services of professionals, if you can independently prepare masks at home that will give strength, beauty and elasticity to women's hair?

How to make a hair mask at home

Making a mask at home is fairly straightforward as all of the ingredients can be purchased from your nearby grocery store and pharmacy. In most cases, preparation of the composition takes a minimum of time, no more than half an hour, but the effect of constant hair care will be amazing.

Before preparing and applying the mask to your hair, it is worth examining the condition of your hair and determining what effect you want to achieve. After all, if a woman has very weak exhausted brittle hair, then mustard masks for growth will only harm them, but nutritious masks from vegetable oil will be very useful. It is also worth studying absolutely all the positive and negative aspects of using masks and choosing the best option for yourself.

Before you start preparing the composition, make sure once again whether you bought all the ingredients and whether you have enough time, because if you keep the mixture on your hair less than it should be, then the positive effect will be almost imperceptible. If all is well, then you can start preparing the mask. During cooking, it is better not to experiment with ingredients and proportions, since the effect of this can be different (and most often negative). Follow the recipe strictly and never overdo anything.

Homemade hair mask recipes

There are a huge number of recipes for making hair masks in the world. Let's take a look at the most popular and effective masks that you can make yourself at home.

Oil mask. This mask is universal, it can be used to improve the appearance of any type of hair. Cooking is elementary: sea buckthorn and sunflower oil are mixed in a ratio of 9 to 1. A mixture of oils is rubbed into the roots with massage movements, after which the head is covered with a plastic cap or ordinary cling film. After an hour, the hair is thoroughly washed out with shampoo. It is not recommended to apply this composition more than twice a week. Sea buckthorn oil makes hair more vibrant and shiny, in addition to this, it activates regenerative capabilities. Sunflower oil saturates the hair and scalp with vitamins A, B, E and D, oleic acids, tannins and a host of various useful minerals and trace elements.

Dry hair mask prepared from the following ingredients:

  • one chicken egg;
  • a teaspoon of glycerin;
  • a teaspoon of vinegar (ideally apple cider);
  • two tablespoons of castor oil.

All ingredients are mixed until smooth. After that, the resulting liquid is rubbed into the roots, and is also distributed along the entire length of the strands. The head must be covered with a plastic cap, over which a heated towel should be wound. After 30-40 minutes everything is washed off with warm water. To enhance the effect, you can wash your hair with an egg yolk solution.

Glycerin, which is part of the mask, acts as a very active moisturizer, it stimulates the exchange of fluids between the hair follicles and deep subcutaneous layers, eliminates excessive dryness. But such formulations cannot be used for more than a month, since the effect of glycerin will be the opposite: it will deplete the scalp, making it very dry.

Castor oil and egg yolk stimulate hair growth and protect against hair loss. Thanks to these ingredients, the hair begins to grow actively, and the hair becomes thicker, healthier and more beautiful.

Vinegar, especially apple cider vinegar, revitalizes the scalp and makes the curls more lush, but docile.

Moisturizing mask preparing is elementary. Take the usual curdled milk and heat up to 37 degrees, after which it is spread on the scalp and over the entire length of the strands. After 30 minutes, the reheated yogurt is applied to the hair and massaged for five minutes. Then the mask is washed off with warm water without shampoo.

Sour milk saturates the hair with vitamins A, C and PP, calcium, micro- and macroelements, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids and other essential elements, thanks to which the hair becomes alive and well-groomed.

Egg mask will be very useful for those who have very dry and brittle strands. To prepare it you will need:

  • two egg yolks;
  • three tablespoons of arnica;
  • two tablespoons of burdock oil.

All ingredients are placed in glassware and thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous mass is obtained, which is rubbed into the hair roots and distributed along the entire length. A plastic cap is put on the head, over which a heated towel is wound. After forty minutes, the mask is thoroughly washed off the head.

Chicken yolk contains lecithin and the entire complex of amino acids necessary for hair. Under the influence of egg yolk, the curls become healthier and silky.

Burdock oil has been used for centuries to improve the condition of the hair. Due to the fact that it activates blood circulation in the scalp, hair begins to grow much faster. In addition, this oil protects against hair loss and dandruff.

Arnica tincture is saturated with tannins, which normalize the secretion of fat by the scalp, and arnica perfectly protects against hair loss.

Dry & split ends mask... To prepare it you will need:

  • one egg yolk;
  • a tablespoon of mayonnaise;
  • a teaspoon of honey;
  • two cloves of garlic.

    • To begin with, the garlic is crushed, then all the other ingredients are added to it, after which everything is mixed until a perfectly homogeneous mixture is obtained. The mask is applied with massaging movements to the scalp, as well as to the entire length of the strands. After applying the mask, the head is covered with a plastic cap and a heated towel. Wait forty minutes, and then the mask is washed off with warm water without the use of shampoo.

    Garlic strengthens hair and protects against hair loss, and mayonnaise makes hair more well-groomed and healthy.

    Honey contains over seventy organic compounds that have a positive effect on the hair and scalp. In addition, honey contains a huge amount of various micro and macro elements. Honey can improve the condition of braids and even partially restore split ends.

    • a tablespoon of castor oil;
    • one egg yolk.

The head with the mask applied must be covered with a plastic cap and a heated towel. After half an hour, the mask can be washed off with ordinary warm water and shampoo.

    The olive oil, which is part of the mask, protects the hair from all kinds of damage, and also gives shine and strength. This ingredient is great for improving the condition of dry brittle hair.

    Cognac mask for oily hair is created from the following ingredients:

    • one egg yolk;
    • a tablespoon of olive oil;
    • a teaspoon of honey;
    • a teaspoon of henna;
    • a teaspoon of brandy.

    All ingredients are thoroughly mixed in a glass container. Then the resulting mixture is soaked in a towel, which is applied to the head. A cling film is wound over the towel, and another, dry, but heated towel is wrapped around it.

    Cognac activates blood circulation in the skin, due to which the hair begins to grow more actively. Also, cognac contributes to the fact that they grow fat less.

    Henna, which is part of the mask, normalizes the fat balance in the scalp, and also improves the condition of the hair. But it is worth remembering that henna is an active natural dye, so you need to purchase only purified, colorless henna.

    Mask for very oily hair prepared with ingredients such as:

    • a teaspoon of honey;
    • a teaspoon of lemon juice;
    • a clove of garlic;
    • a teaspoon of agave juice.

    All ingredients are thoroughly mixed and applied to the head, which is then covered with a plastic cap and a towel for warming. After forty minutes, the mask is washed off. In order to eliminate the not entirely pleasant smell of garlic, you need to wash your head with heated water with a small addition of mustard powder.

    The lemon juice in the mask minimizes the oily hair and at the same time saturates it with vitamin C.

    Agave juice activates the functioning of hair follicles, which not only stimulates hair growth, but also protects them from hair loss.

    Hair growth mask activates the functioning of the scalp and hair follicles, due to which the hair begins to grow more actively, up to one centimeter per week. For cooking you will need:

    • a teaspoon of castor oil;
    • a teaspoon of burdock oil;
    • two teaspoons of lemon or birch sap.

    All ingredients are mixed and applied to the head and hair, after which they hide under a plastic cap for forty minutes. After forty minutes, the hair is thoroughly washed out with warm water and shampoo.

    Hair strengthening mask will be very useful for people who have very brittle depleted strands. To prepare the mask, you need to acquire the following ingredients:

    • dried nettle;
    • dried plantain;
    • dried chamomile medicinal;
    • crumb of bread (black or rye).

    To prepare the mask, you need to pour a tablespoon of the collection of herbs with one or two glasses of boiling water and leave for an hour. Then the herbal infusion is filtered, and the crumb of bread dissolves in it. The result is a gruel from a decoction of herbs and bread, this gruel is applied to the scalp and the entire length of the hair. The head is covered with cling film and additionally insulated with a towel. After an hour, the mask is washed off with warm water without the help of shampoo.

    Onion mask preparation is very simple. It is necessary to chop the onion and squeeze the juice out of it, which is then mixed with natural honey. The resulting mixture is applied to the entire length of the hair, as well as massaging movements on the scalp. The head is covered with cling film and insulated with a towel. After forty minutes, everything is washed off with warm water. If a person has very oily hair, then one tablespoon of alcohol can be added to the mask, it minimizes the release of fat from the scalp. But to get rid of dandruff, you need to mix a little castor oil with a mixture of onions and honey. Also, it will not be superfluous to wash your hair in a decoction of onion husks, because such a decoction will strengthen them and make them more beautiful.

    The only drawback of onion masks is that the specific onion smell is absorbed into the hair and it is almost impossible to get rid of it. But in order to make the smell as weak as possible, immediately after removing the mask, you must wash your hair in acidified water. For acidification, add wine or apple cider vinegar to the water, at the rate of one teaspoon per liter of water.

By using natural ingredients that you probably have in your refrigerator, you will not only make the most useful hair care product, but you will also save a significant amount of money (compared to salon treatments and industrial products).
