• You should not wash your hair with regular shampoo every day. If they become greasy very quickly, choose a “mild” shampoo that is suitable for daily use and does not dry out your hair. It should not contain such components as sulfates, parabens and formaldehydes.
• You need to wash your hair only with warm water, too hot dries your hair.

• Wet hair should not be brushed. It is imperative to comb only after the hair is completely dry.

The unfavorable environmental conditions of modern megacities, frequent temperature changes, the scorching sun, hard tap water and even an unbalanced diet are factors that lead to the fact that the hair becomes dry, begins to break, and splits at the ends. Masks that can be done at home are designed to help them.

What to do with dry hair at home

In order to fix any problem, the first step is to understand what led to it in order to prevent the situation from recurring. Hair becomes dry when it experiences a moisture deficit, which is created mainly by external factors (if brittleness is added to dryness, internal disturbances are not excluded), including:

• exposure to the scorching sun in summer;
• heating devices in winter (hot dry air);
• cold and wind at subzero temperatures (if you do not wear a hat, scarf, hood);
• improper shampooing;
• frequent use of thermal devices - hair dryer, curling tongs, curlers;
• hard tap water;
• permanent staining (especially lightening);
• perm;
• incorrectly selected comb (tools with metal teeth are especially dangerous).

All of these factors should be avoided by a woman with dry hair so as not to aggravate the problem. Only after you manage to get rid of the root cause, you can talk about starting the recovery process, and it begins with gentle care and studying the correct procedure for home washing your hair:

1. Adjust the water temperature - 38-40 degrees is considered ideal. Hot will lead to brittleness and chipping.
2. Moisten your scalp liberally for at least a minute before using the shampoo. Keep in mind that it is matched to the problem and should be in the same line with conditioner or balm.
3. Soaped at the roots, the crown, temples and the back of the head should be massaged for 2 minutes. Use the shampoo twice if necessary.
4. Rinse off the product for a minute too, fingering the strands with your fingers and massaging the root zone.
5. Be sure to use the conditioner after: it (not a balm!) Is designed not so much to close the scales that the shampoo opened, but to restore water balance.
6. Rinse off the conditioner with cool (34-36 degrees) water after a minute.
7. Wring wet hair with your hands and pat dry with a towel. Rubbing and twisting is not worth it - this way you injure them. They should become dry on their own, and not under the influence of a hair dryer, so try not to wash your hair right before leaving the house.

Hairdressers claim that following the described algorithm will not only help start the restoration of dry hair, but will also be useful for people suffering from increased fat content of the roots and scalp, dandruff, and seborrhea. Additionally, you should take care of a few more things that help to quickly and efficiently overcome dry hair at home:

• Avoid using any care products containing ethyl alcohol: it removes moisture. The rest of the species (cetyl, stearic) will not harm.
• Try not to wash your hair daily, and if urgently needed, select special products that are marked for possible use every day.
• Use moisturizing (!) Masks at least 2 times / week - both home and store masks are suitable, but make sure that silicones are not in the first positions of the composition. Such products are suitable for masking imperfections (they give shine, glue split ends), but do not work from the inside.
• Several times a month, use vegetable oils (olive, almond, jojoba) as a mask that provides intense hydration before washing your hair, but do not apply to the roots: only to the ends and along the entire length.
• When combing, use only a wooden or bone comb, or natural bristles: no plastic or metal. They must be washed weekly.
• Wet strands should be disassembled with your fingers if it is difficult to comb them dry, but do not use a comb on them - twitching, sharp movements injure the hair.
• If you need to dry with a hairdryer, do it in cold air mode, moving the nozzle of the device at a distance of 30 cm from the head and directing the air flow from top to bottom.
• When there is no time to hold the mask for a long time, or in between courses of different products, use natural herbal rinses: arnica, chamomile, nettle, St. John's wort. The proportion is classic - 5 tbsp. l. for 1 liter of boiling water, leave for half an hour.

What is a mask for dry hair

A mixture designed to replenish moisture lost under the influence of external factors - this is how any mask (home or store) recommended for dry hair can be described. It makes them obedient and soft, suitable even for owners of oily scalp, since it affects the length, and its dryness is in no way related to the work of the sebaceous glands. Keep in mind that a moisturizing mask and a nourishing mask are not the same: the latter helps to restore damaged structure and can be useful for fragility. A good moisturizing mask contains:

• lipids, proteins;
• minerals;
• aloe vera extract;
• hyaluronic acid;
• collagen;
• keratin;
• B vitamins;
• natural oils.

Terms of use

Even the most expensive store-bought mask may not moisturize at all or give very little effect if applied incorrectly. With homemade formulations, the situation is similar: for maximum effect, you need to be able to use them, and here experts give several important tips:

• The composition will give enhanced moisture if it is applied before shampooing and kept for about an hour: according to this scheme, it is recommended to use homemade oil mixtures.
• The mask for dry and brittle hair is applied under a cellophane cap, and a terry towel should be wrapped over the head. The greenhouse effect helps the penetration of nutrients. Some experts recommend enhancing the effect by heating the resulting structure with a hairdryer (15-20 minutes), but this option is not suitable for people who have problems with blood vessels.
• All homemade masks should be used warm, especially if they are based on vegetable oils.
• Do not expect moisturizing from a single use of any product: the main conditions of each mask are regularity and consistency. The course of dry hair treatment consists of 10-15 procedures performed 2 times / week.
• If you paint your head, masks for dry hair at home are prepared without vegetable oils: they wash out the pigment.
• Oil formulations are used before shampooing, since they require thorough cleansing after themselves (shampoo will have to be used 2-3 times).

Dry hair mask recipes

Masks based on them can be done up to 3 times / week in case of severe dryness, without fear of contaminating the roots. The course consists of 12 procedures. The recipe is as follows:

For dry and damaged

If, in addition to the general loss of softness and shine, you are faced with the problem of fragility and cross-section of the ends, the main condition for choosing mask recipes is the presence of vegetable oils in their composition. They give softness, elasticity, but are not suitable for girls who dye their heads. Such formulations are applied under a cap and a towel, they must be warmed up before use and during the procedure.

Performing the procedure once a week, in a month you will get an effect at home that is identical to that of a salon.

Mask for dry hair with oily roots

Loss of softness along the length, electrification and fragility can also be observed against the background of excessive production of sebum by the glands on the surface of the head. The main condition for moisturizing masks in such a situation is the rejection of oil formulations: herbal decoctions and colorless henna will form the basis. If the tips begin to split, they can be treated with an additional small (about 1 tsp) amount of warmed jojoba oil. A very effective, according to reviews, option:

1. Stir 3 tbsp. l. dried nettle leaves with 2 tbsp. l. colorless henna.
2. Pour in so much boiling water that you get a gruel of medium thickness: slowly flowing from a spoon.

Among their components are mustard, pepper tincture, citrus essential oils. It is forbidden to use such compositions in the presence of skin lesions in the scalp and with vascular pathologies. The easiest recipe:

1. Pour boiling water (100 ml) over the flowers of St. John's wort (1 tsp). Insist for 20 minutes.
2. Strain, mix with 3 tbsp. l. mustard powder, leave for 10 minutes.

4. Rub gently into wet roots, do not spread along the length. No head cover is required.
5. Wash off after an hour using shampoo. Carry out the procedure 1 time / week, the course lasts 3 months.

Masks for dry hair with dandruff

Moisturizing the skin of the scalp occurs only when the formulations are directly applied to this area. For this reason, an important condition for masks for persons suffering from dandruff is the absence of oils and other very fatty components in the composition. Try a mixture based on rye (this is important!) Bread and fermented milk drinks:

1. The crumb of rye bread (take 1 slice) pour half a glass of kefir or another fermented milk drink - fermented baked milk, sourdough. Leave on for 10 minutes.
2. Add 1 tsp. flaxseed or sunflower oil, mix thoroughly until smooth.
3. Rub the resulting composition into clean, damp roots with massaging movements, gently distribute the remains along the length and roll it into a bun on the crown.
4. Put on a shower cap. It is not necessary to additionally insulate with a towel.
5. Sit for half an hour, rinse with cool water without shampoo. If increased fat content of the roots is added to the dandruff, before applying the mask, make a salt scrub (massage the scalp with coarse sea salt for 3 minutes and rinse it). After 4-5 weeks, if you repeat the procedure 2 times / week, you will see a positive result.

Against falling out

Against the background of severe exhaustion and moisture deficiency, hair can begin to fall out, which causes even more excitement for both sexes. The reasons for what is happening often lie in the internal failures of the body, but it is desirable to influence the situation from all sides. Local help at home is represented by masks based on clay, colorless henna, herbal decoctions. This option is considered very effective for initial alopecia:

1. Prepare a strong broth of calendula: 1 tbsp. l. Boil flowers in 100 ml of water for 2 minutes, let cool slightly.
2. Filter, pour this liquid into 2 tbsp. l. white or blue clay.
3. Warm up in a water bath for 1 tsp. sea ​​buckthorn oil and 1 tbsp. l. olive. Pour into clay gruel.
4. Rub into roots, cover with a cap and towel. Wait 2 hours before washing off with shampoo. Repeat once / week for 2 months.

With burdock oil

Among the most effective means on which homemade masks for dry hair are based, hairdressers highlight castor and burdock oil. Both products not only help to achieve softness, but are also useful in combating electrification, brittleness, and stunted growth. You can use burdock oil in its pure form: 2 hours before washing your hair, apply generously to each strand moistened with water 1/3 of the length, wrap it with a towel (wrap it with foil first) and warm it up. An alternative is a mixture that is simple in composition, which is prepared and applied as follows:

1. Pour 2 tbsp into the grinder. l. oatmeal and 1 tbsp. l. flax seeds.
2. Grind at maximum speed for a minute to make a powder. Optionally, you can use ready-made flour (oatmeal and flaxseed).

4. Add burdock oil (2 tbsp. L.), Mix again.
5. The resulting mask for dry hair at home is used as a standard 2 times / week, for 1.5-2 months (depending on the severity of the problem). Apply it before washing your hair, leave it warm for an hour and always under a towel.

With gelatin and yolk

In the salon, one of the most popular procedures that help fight dryness and brittle hair is lamination: the creation of a protective shell, which, by gluing their scales, gives density, smoothness, and shine. A similar effect can be obtained at home by using gelatin, a natural source of collagen, supplemented with lipid-supplying yolk. The recipe is simple:

1. Mix 1 tbsp. l. powdered gelatin with 100 ml of warmed fresh milk. Leave it on for 15 minutes. (the exact time depends on the speed of swelling of the gelatin and is indicated on the package).
2. Stir the mixture, heat in a water bath until the crystals are completely dissolved and let cool slightly.
3. Whisk the egg yolk, mix with 1 tbsp. l. liquid honey.
4. Combine both mixtures, stir until smooth.

The composition is applied warm, after shampooing, on damp strands disassembled with fingers. After collecting them on the back of the head in a bundle, cover with foil. It is not necessary to wrap with a towel. The exposure time is 1 hour, everything is washed off without shampoo. This is an ideal home mask for dry colored hair as it does not wash out the pigment. Additionally, the creation of styling is facilitated, electrification is eliminated. Therapeutic course for severe dryness - 2 months (do 2 times / week).

With honey and onions

Restoring overdried hair at home will go faster if you periodically (2-3 times / month, between other procedures) make a mask on an onion-honey basis. Its disadvantage is only a strong smell, which can be beaten off if, after washing your hair, you use a home rinse aid of 1 liter of cool water, 1 tsp. vinegar and 2 tbsp. l. lemon juice. The main recipe is as follows:

1. Chop a small onion head (with a knife or blender).
2. Add 1 tbsp. l. liquid warmed honey and egg yolk.
3. Rub into the roots, massaging the skin for 1-2 minutes, cover with foil. No insulation required.
4. Wash off using shampoo after half an hour.

With egg

1. Warm up using a water bath, 3 tbsp. l. burdock oil and 1 tbsp. l. castor.
2. Add 1 tsp. cocoa powder.
3. Beat 2 chicken eggs, stir to warm mixture.

Rub about 1/4 of the total volume into the roots (massage for a minute), distribute the rest evenly along the moistened length using a bone comb with rare teeth. The exposure time ranges from 1 to 3 hours, preferably under a towel. It is not necessary to warm up with a hairdryer. In case of severe dryness and brittleness, apply the mask 2 times / week, for prophylaxis - 2 times / month. Keep in mind that cocoa powder can slightly color the light base (blond, light brown), making the shade darker.

With cognac

Alcohol is based on alcohol, but when used correctly can be used as a moisturizer to prevent shedding and impart a healthy shine. In addition to cognac, beer, rum, vodka, necessarily mixed with any fatty component, are used for the same purpose. Just remember an important condition: alcohol is undesirable in the first week after staining, especially in combination with kefir - the pigment will be washed out. This mixture will help fight dryness:

1. At 1 st. l. honey, a similar amount of cognac is taken.
2. Then burdock or castor oil is added to them in an amount of 2 tsp.
3. Heat the mixture in a water bath without letting it boil.
4. Enter 1 tsp. mayonnaise and gently apply a small amount to each strand separately only along the length.
5. Warm your head with a towel (under it - cellophane), sit for 1.5 hours.
