Fermented milk products contain a full range of beneficial vitamins and minerals. Therefore, they can be used not only as dietary food, but also for the treatment and restoration of hair. The use of whey will quickly and effectively solve the problem of dandruff, excessive hair loss and other problems with curls.

You can make a healing serum for strands and a mask based on it with your own hands. Consider the benefits, contraindications, recipes and ways to use the serum for various curl problems.

Useful properties of hair serum

It was used in cosmetology many centuries ago. The unique composition, availability and safety of this product made it one of the best products for the care of problem strands. A feature of the serum is the valuable amino acids included in the composition, which contribute to the acceleration of hair growth, as well as the restoration of their structure.

The healing properties of the serum are also explained by the vitamins and microelements included in the composition, which help to maintain the health of the scalp and curls. Regular use of various recipes allows you to speed up metabolic processes in the hair roots, which helps to accelerate their growth and slows down the process of hair loss. Milk serum is suitable for a variety of hair types, moisturizing dry and reducing greasiness of oily curls. Thanks to this, the strands become incredibly lush, shiny and well-groomed.

Hair Serum Application

How you use whey for curls depends on what problems you want to cure with it. For example, if you have split ends, thin and lifeless strands, then it should be applied to the ends. And if the hair has thinned, falls out or grows poorly, then it is recommended to rub it into the scalp, distributing it along the entire length of the strands.

Can be applied to wet and dry strands. In addition, you can prepare wonderful natural masks that will help solve most of the health problems of curls. In addition, this product can be used to wash or rinse the strands. It is recommended to apply serum-based products with gentle massage movements, which will give additional stimulation to the hair roots, accelerating growth.

To prepare natural whey, you should use full-fat homemade milk. It must be put in a warm place and wait until it turns sour. After that, it must be put into a water bath. However, it cannot be brought to a boil. When curd clots form, remove from the stove. After the resulting mass has cooled, the whey should be filtered through cheesecloth. You can use the resulting cottage cheese for food and for preparing various dishes. And pour the serum into a jar and refrigerate. She will get ready to treat your curls.

Homemade whey is softer and less acidic than store-bought whey. In addition, it does not contain harmful impurities, and it contains more vitamins and minerals. You can use such a tool to treat almost all problems with curls.

Hair growth serum

A natural serum can also be prepared to speed up hair growth and give the hair the desired volume. For preparation, mix the whey with a small amount of burdock oil. With this solution, you must regularly rinse the strands. It should not be washed off, it does not leave oily sheen or other unpleasant marks on the curls. At the same time, the particles of this agent continue to care for the strands until the next shampooing. Washing your hair with whey is extremely easy. And this tool is affordable and inexpensive.

Split Ends Serum

There are many reasons for split ends. This can be the use of incorrect and low-quality cosmetics, improper combing, as well as irregular and inadequate hair nutrition. The advantage of using natural milk whey is a light and delicate texture that allows you to gently care for your curls. This tool does not weigh down the strands, and also does not give them an oily sheen. But the main advantage is the gluing of hair scales, so they split less and do not break.

For split ends, it is best to use low-fat milk. The recipe is similar. For cooking, you need to wait until the milk turns sour and bring it to a boil. Separate the curd from the whey using cheesecloth. Cooked homemade cottage cheese can also be used for natural masks.

Serum for dry hair

Dry curls are especially in need of nutrition and hydration. Therefore, for this type of hair, it is recommended to use whey as a rinse, as well as a component of masks or shampoos. You can prepare such a remedy yourself using whey, herbal decoctions, and vitamins in capsules. It is recommended to apply the product to damp, washed hair, after which the curls should dry naturally. Serum for dry hair ends will help to make curls soft, smooth and silky.

Hair repair serum

After painting or chemical styling, damaged curls need proper nutrition to restore their structure. Natural whey can also help with this. Prepare it yourself and pour it into an old cosmetic spray bottle. Apply the serum several times a day to damaged strands and after a few weeks you will notice incredible results. Homemade hair serum will cope with the problem of damaged curls no worse than expensive professional cosmetics or expensive procedures in a beauty salon.

Shine Serum

Shine is the main indicator of the health and beauty of the strands. Therefore, if your curls are dull and lifeless, we recommend preparing natural milk-lemon whey. It will help not only to give your hair incredible shine, but also to restore smoothness and healthy-looking strands.

To prepare such a product, you will need milk and lemon. Squeeze out the juice of one lemon and mix it with a liter of milk. The finished mass should be placed in a water bath and brought to a boil. After that, the mass should be removed from the stove and cooled. Separate the whey carefully from the resulting curd. You should take ready-made milk-lemon whey no more than once a week. Excessive moisturizing of curls can lead to loss of volume.

Serum homemade hair mask recipes

Milk serum has a nourishing and moisturizing effect even on very loose curls... Its advantage is the high content of milk protein, which is an excellent building material for hair follicles and hair shafts. If the strands are deficient in this substance, they become brittle, dull and lifeless, their growth slows down, and the ends begin to split.

Therefore, you can use it to grow hair and restore its beauty and health. For the best effect, it is recommended to use serum as the main component of hair masks. And after a few weeks, you will forget about health problems, as well as about the dull and not well-groomed look of the strands.

Wash off the mask after 20 to 30 minutes. However, you do not need to use shampoo. The yolks will do a great job of cleansing the curls, and the serum will moisturize and give a healthy shine to the strands. However, if you have oily hair, wash off the mask with your favorite shampoo.

Mask with brewer's yeast and whey

If you have slowed hair growth or have a problem with excessive hair loss, the anti-hair loss serum will help restore the volume and beauty of the strands. It is yeast that is the most effective way to stimulate hair growth, and whey helps to heal the scalp, restore the hair ends and heal their damaged structure.

Whey preparation rules

The technology for making whey at home is very simple. The main component is milk. Take 1 liter of milk, put it in a warm place. After about 8 hours, the milk will begin to turn sour. Pour the resulting curdled milk into a stainless or aluminum pan, put on low heat. When heated, the process of separating the whey from the curd takes place. Make sure that the curdled milk does not boil, since the curd will turn out to be too tough. Now you need to strain the mass, it is best to do this through a colander covered with gauze. The separated curd and whey are ready to use. Very little cottage cheese is obtained from 1 liter of milk, but there is enough whey. However, you can buy ready-made whey at the store. But if the milk has started to turn sour, why not make homemade whey and use it for cosmetic purposes?

A lot has already been said about the benefits of influencing the hair of fermented milk products: yogurt, kefir, whey. And their popularity among fans of natural hair care products is not losing ground. Moreover, the constant favorite of the natural method of cleansing and strengthening hair whey is a derivative of sour milk. It is possible that after learning how to wash hair with serum, and subsequently testing this method, as they say, on their own head, people striving to have healthy, well-groomed hair will join the ranks of his admirers.

Why Serum?

The serum has a beneficial effect on human hair. It strengthens them, stimulates growth. The microelements contained in the serum contribute to the natural "thickening" of each hair, giving it strength and elasticity. When absorbed into the hair, the serum smoothes its structure, making it more uniform. Hair becomes silky and shiny, which is sometimes difficult to achieve with expensive shampoos and conditioners. Serum is no less useful for the scalp: it moisturizes it well, preventing the appearance of dandruff (or helps to get rid of this nuisance).

Unlike some other folk remedies for washing hair that are suitable for a certain type of hair (oily, dry, normal hair), the serum is a "universal product" that can improve the condition of hair with various characteristics and problems.

By enveloping the hair with a fatty film, the serum protects it from adverse external influences. In addition, the serum is much easier to wash off the hair than, for example, the same kefir, and does not leave a pronounced smell (and this is the main disadvantage of washing hair with fermented milk products).

Simple hair health technology

The very process of washing hair with serum is simple and devoid of any "secrets". As before washing with any product, the hair must be combed well so that it is saturated with oxygen, dead scalp cells and various small debris are removed. This will significantly improve the result of hair cleansing. You can have a small scalp massage. The serum should be slightly warmed up before use (especially if it was previously in a cool place). If the serum was obtained at home, it will not be superfluous to strain it before using.

Before applying the serum, you do not need to wet your hair with water, because in this case instead, a fermented milk product is used. It is necessary to moisturize the hair abundantly with the serum, rubbing it into it and into the scalp with light movements. After applying the serum to the hair, cover the head with cellophane wrap and tie it with a terry towel. The exposure time of the agent is at least thirty minutes, however, if there is a desire and opportunity, it can be increased. Then you need to rinse your hair well until it is completely cleansed of serum, and at the end rinse with water acidified with lemon juice or table

All fermented milk products are rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium, which is why kefir and serum are widely used by cosmetologists as healing and strengthening agents. Milk serum for hair will help to quickly get rid of dandruff and prevent hair loss.

The benefits of whey for hair

The main elements in the composition of milk and fermented milk products are protein, which is especially well absorbed by the body, and calcium. Its content in a glass of milk is 300 mg, that is, one third of the daily value. It is for this that it is considered one of the most essential foods for the nutrition of children.

Protein and calcium in large quantities are also stored in milk whey (the calcium content in it is 60 mg / 100 ml). They are the main building blocks of fabrics and are therefore recognized as essential building blocks for hair growth. That is why the use of a serum allows you to "fit" them and quickly release long beautiful curls.

Milk whey contains a number of vitamins, trace elements and other substances that have a beneficial effect on the health of our hair. Namely:

  • nourishes roots and hair;
  • moisturizes;
  • promotes the renewal and restoration of hair structure;
  • increases the strength of the hair shafts;
  • strengthens hair roots;
  • prevents hair loss;
  • according to some reports, promotes hair growth;
  • normalizes the work of the sebaceous glands;
  • fights fungal diseases of the scalp;
  • normalizes metabolic processes;
  • restores hair weakened and damaged after dyeing, perm, frequent styling and other harmful effects;
  • protect hair from external harmful influences;
  • allows hair to stay clean and fresh longer.

The serum also works well as a mild cleanser (shampoo). The substances in its composition penetrate deeply into the skin and hair, dissolve impurities well and remove dead cells. Milk serum is suitable for the care and healing of all hair types, but primarily it has proven to be effective for:

  • dry hair;
  • oily hair;
  • weakened and damaged hair;
  • prevent hair loss;
  • elimination of dandruff;
  • split ends treatment.

Using milk serum for hair

There are many options for a wide variety of home masks that include this simple product. However, for hair, whey can be changed both as a rinse and instead of a shampoo. How this is done is below.

Rinsing

After each wash the curls, or every other time, you can rinse the hair with milk serum, without diluting it with anything. You do not need to rinse off the dairy product after applying it to your hair. It's better to just let the curls dry naturally. After such a procedure, the hairstyle looks much more well-groomed and does not lose its freshness longer.

Washing head

Also, the serum plays a good role as a shampoo for hair. In order to wash the hair, it is enough just to apply a small amount of serum to the hair, massage and leave for 5 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly with water. And it's also a good idea to dilute the serum with burdock broth for this procedure. 2 tbsp. l. Brew burdock root with a glass of boiling water and heat over low heat for about 10 minutes. Then cool and filter. Combine with an equal amount of whey. And then apply in the same way as described above without burdock.

Chemical constituents of milk whey

The value of the serum is very high, even though it contains only 6-7% of active substances. And all lies in the fact that it does not contain fats, while there is a large amount of proteins that are very easy to digest. And the fact that milk sugar (lactose) is present in whey is generally priceless, since this sugar is completely absorbed in the body. Such sugar is the most desirable carbohydrate for the body, it does not form fats in the cell and has a positive effect on the digestive system. But whey contains a small amount of milk fat, but it is also useful, because it enhances the work of enzymes.

The kind of proteins that are in whey gives the body such amino acids that it does not produce itself, they must be supplied with food to the body. In addition, the proteins contained in serum are involved in the formation of red blood cells, as well as in the process of protein synthesis in the liver. Compared to other naturally occurring proteins, whey proteins are extremely beneficial and valuable.

Ways to use whey

When whitening normal to oily skin, you will need 3 parts serum, 0.5 parts lemon juice. Mix the ingredients and rub the skin with this mixture regularly 2 times a day. If the skin turns a little red after rubbing with this lotion, then add less lemon juice.

To get rid of freckles. Stir 3 tablespoons. whey with 3 tbsp. cottage cheese. Then apply this on clean skin for 10 minutes, and then rinse with green tea.

Bath. Prepare body temperature water, add a handful of bran, 2 liters of whey, 5 drops of wheat oil. It takes about 20 minutes to take such a bath. Use a soft towel to wipe the body. Do not rinse.

If you have sunburn, add 2 liters of serum to a warm bath, and soak in the bath for 20 minutes, then let the skin dry without wiping it off.

To strengthen nails, mix 2-3 drops of jojoba oil with 0.5L of warm serum. Soak your hands in this mixture for 10 minutes, then wipe with a tissue.

To make the pores smaller, use 1 egg white, 1 tsp. flour, 2 tbsp. serum. Mix all this, and apply on face for 15 minutes. After this procedure, the skin will be cleaner, dry and smoother. If you don't have very oily skin, you can use yolk instead of protein. To whiten your skin a little, use a few drops of lemon juice.

For a better complexion, take 0.5 tbsp. ground coffee, 2 tbsp. serum, mix the ingredients and apply the resulting mask for 15 minutes on the skin, then wash with warm water. Lemon juice may work in place of coffee.

Mask for normal skin: Mix the serum with radish, cucumber, bell pepper, zucchini, citrus fruits, eggplant, grapes and apples (chop it all) in a 2: 1 ratio. Apply the resulting mass to your face, then rinse with warm water.

Mask recipe for dry skin: mix serum with persimmon, banana, apricot, melon. Proportion: 1 tbsp. fruit, 2 tbsp. serum and use as usual.

The serum contains such minerals and vitamins that are very beneficial for the structure of the hair and scalp. After the procedure with the participation of serum in the hair roots, the exchange processes are usually much more efficient and faster, hair growth will be faster, and the hair becomes stronger.

You can prepare an original shampoo at home, and it will have cleansing and nourishing properties for the scalp and hair. To this end, add a decoction of burdock roots to the whey and wash your hair with the resulting mixture. Naturally, the benefits for your hair will be greater if you still take the serum internally.

Hair mask recipe: mix heated serum (up to 40-50 degrees) with Hercules flakes so that you end up with a thick mass. Apply this mass to the hair, then cover the hair with a film and a towel. Wait half an hour, then remove the mask from your hair with warm water.

The benefits of serum masks

Serum or kefir contains many useful substances that have not only a strengthening and restorative, but also a healing effect. Making masks on your own only twice a month, you can pretty soon notice a positive effect:

  • loss will decrease;
  • growth will accelerate;
  • hair will be less brittle and more "alive";
  • split ends will disappear;
  • hair will become more shiny, lush and thick;
  • dandruff will be cured;
  • dryness will disappear.

The main advantage of serum as an ingredient in masks is its versatility. This tool is suitable for absolutely any type of scalp. Vitamins A, B, C and E in the composition nourish and strengthen dry hair, making it strong and elastic. Amino acids reduce the activity of the sebaceous glands, so the problem of oily sheen will disappear completely after a while.

Useful trace elements (potassium, phosphorus and calcium) strengthen the hair structure, so they become less prone to damage. Protein - the main building block of the body is responsible for growth.

How to prepare whey at home?

Cosmetologists and those who have been using such masks for a long time are advised to use a natural product prepared at home. The effect will be stronger than from store-bought cosmetics, and the result will be more lasting and noticeable.

Self-cooking will take some time. But believe me, the effort will be worth it. In order to get the product, you will need 2 liters of milk, a teaspoon of sour cream, a sieve and gauze.

Recipe number 1

Cooking process:

  • boil milk (if it is pasteurized, this is not necessary);
  • add sour cream, mix;
  • put away for a day in a warm place;
  • Warm sour milk for half an hour in a water bath, it is better not to stir it;
  • as soon as the milk curdles, remove the pan from the stove (it is important not to boil);
  • strain the liquid from the resulting curd by placing the mass in cheesecloth and squeezing well (you can leave the products in the cheesecloth in a suspended state for a while);
  • the expressed serum must be cooled and poured into a glass container, stored in a cool place.

As a result of these simple actions, delicious homemade cottage cheese and whey are obtained, which can be used not only for cosmetic purposes. It is good to drink it, you can add it to the dough.

Try masks for your face as well. The skin will look healthy, youthful and fresh. In addition, wiping your face daily with a serum, you can cleanse the skin, make it matte, elastic, get rid of oily sheen and age spots.

Recipe number 2

So, the already sour milk must be removed from the refrigerator and left warm for several hours. During this time, it is converted into yogurt. Pour the finished fermented milk product into a saucepan and put on low heat. Heat, stirring constantly. It is better not to let the curdled milk boil, because in this case, the cottage cheese, which separates from the whey, will turn out to be harsh.

When grains of curd are formed, the saucepan can be removed from the stove. After the contents have cooled, strain it through a sieve or cheesecloth. Squeeze the cottage cheese well. It can be used for food. But the remaining cloudy yellowish liquid is serum. It is used to restore hair. Another way involves the use of citric acid. Add 1/3 tsp to a liter of milk. l. lemons and in the same way heat, cool and filter. Here, accordingly, there is no need to wait for the milk to ferment. So this is a little faster way. The prepared whey should not be stored for a long time. Maximum two days in a cool place.

The course of procedures: from 6 to 12 for one and a half months.

When preparing masks, it is important that the mixture is homogeneous: not too thick or liquid, without lumps. It is easier to apply it evenly and then rinse off. The mask should be warm. After applying to the hair, you need to put on a shower cap on your head and wrap your head with a terry towel for half an hour.
