Be sure to try the rye hair flour and see for yourself!
Thanks to the free webinar "How to wash your hair once a week" I learned the recipe for rye "shampoo", which was ideal not only for me, but also for my mother, whose hair is different from mine - my hair is rather dry, and she has oily roots and dry to the tips. Mustard did not suit her, and she no longer considered natural options for washing, but complained that after shampoos, she needed to wash her hair every 2 days. And now she washes it in 5 days! And I - and even less often))
I suggest you try this option too! By the way, as I learn thanks to communication on the Internet - now surprisingly many people use this "shampoo"! This makes me very happy - it's simple, natural and useful !!!
I will write my recipe - and you change it for yourself as you want - here - sheer creativity. Rye flour 2 tablespoons, a teaspoon of mustard powder (without a slide, or even half a teaspoon). Mustard powder degreases, so choose the amount according to your hair feature - someone may not need it at all if the hair is dry. A couple of drops essential oil to your taste, I add another half a teaspoon of flaxseed oil, you can replace it with a vitamin E capsule or aevita. More variations - dry cinnamon powder, ginger, a little sea salt, some kind of berry juice))))) But all this is optional!
There are only 3 main components:
- Rye flour
- mustard powder
- hot water(or an infusion of herbs to your taste, the temperature of the liquid is hot, but so as not to cook flour)
We mix everything except water (or herbal infusion), and then add it so much that the consistency is not too thick sour cream. I mix in a blender, you can mix it with a whisk. The main thing is not just to stir, but also to beat a little. It then has a very homogeneous and pleasant consistency.
You can wash your hair with this like shampoo - applied to the roots, massaged and washed off. But I do it like a mask - I apply it on dry hair, completely lubricate it with this thing, put on a shower cap, on top warm hat and I go to drink tea and read something interesting on the hacienda. And after half an hour or 20 minutes I wash off. You can use water and apple cider vinegar to rinse off - then the hair is washed very quickly and becomes soft.
Rye flour has now become quite available, well, maybe not in the villages yet. In Pyaterochka it is sold at a very good price. And in general - she has such a consumption - you will have enough for a long time))
Something else about hair from my experience))) It helps me a lot from hair loss linseed oil- just in food, but do not warm it up - in salads, with boiled potatoes, in sauces. One 0.5 bottle of oil is enough for me to be surprised - and my hair began to fall out much less! The second oil, but not for food, is BRAMI oil. Read about it on the Internet, it strengthens the hair, but this is not even the main thing - head massage with this oil helps against headaches (tested on mom and husband), and regular it normalizes intracranial pressure and all sorts of not good things heals. Gradually. But it is reliable)) And also, it makes your hair very beautiful if you use it as a mask! You can buy it in an Ayurvedic store, in Rostov I bought it for 350 rubles and it lasts for a long time!
That seems to be all)))) Ask if something is interesting, and thanks to everyone who reads for your attention - I hope I inspired you to try something more natural in personal care!))))
Sometimes you need to urgently wash your hair, and the water was turned off. How to wash your hair with rye flour? Will this method help solve the problem without water? Some women make real shampoo from flour, mixing it with water or herbal decoctions. In this case, the main thing is not to miss the grade. You also need to know exactly what consistency this "shampoo" should be, which looks more like a liquid semolina or sourdough for pie dough.
The second way to wash your hair is dry. It doesn't need water at all. True, it will not suit brunettes. Light, white and Brown hair will become more luxuriant, cleaner and light light shade... And for washing you only need old newspaper, a comb and a handful of rye flour.
Why do you need a newspaper?
How to wash your hair with rye flour? First, grab a newspaper and a hairbrush. Comb your hair well. For dry washing, spread the newspaper on the floor or wide table... Now bend over it, sprinkle on your head and comb your hair thoroughly, keeping your head above the newspaper so that ground rye, along with dust, particles of dandruff and sebum, falls on the newspaper. A newspaper will come in handy so that the ground rye does not crumble throughout the apartment. Sprinkle the grayish powder in small pinches on the parting, taking the hair apart into several parts.
Do not feel that the strands will stick together or hang. On the contrary, greasy, before the procedure and sagging hair will rise, become more luxuriant and appear thicker than before. A lively shine will appear, although the hair will look a little powdered. White and light brown strands this effect will not spoil, because they are already light.
A bit of theory
In those days, when there were no shampoos and balms, conditioners and nourishing masks, our grandmothers washed their hair with black bread, mustard, egg yolk. They often used rye flour as well. This product has not only detergent qualities... Ground rye nourishes, strengthens the roots and hair due to the presence of vitamins E, PP, group B.
The presence of fiber produces a cleansing property. Keratinized skin cells, sebum and dandruff particles are scraped off by hard flakes in a rye grind. Even oily hair can be washed perfectly. They become fluffy, easily crumble and comb out.
Making shampoo
To make a detergent, you must:
- pour a few tablespoons of rye flour into a deep bowl. The amount depends on the length of the hair. For strands slightly below the shoulders, four tablespoons of the product are enough;
- dilute flour a small amount warm water, whisking with a whisk so that no lumps form. Instead of pure water it is useful to use a decoction of chamomile, nettle, burdock, oak bark;
- stirring the gruel to achieve the consistency of sour cream. The mixture should turn slightly white and smooth. They wash their hair with this gruel. Once a month, grandmothers are advised to add one yolk to the mixture, for better nutrition hair follicles. The hair then becomes thicker and thicker.
How is rye gruel applied?
First, soak all the curls well.
Apply the prepared composition to the scalp evenly, lightly massaging the skin, slightly lathering, blur the residue along the strands.
Try to "blur" the gruel on your hair. High foam will not rise, but a little lump should be obtained.
Leave the composition on the head to harden the bulbs and soak the strands for a few minutes. If you soak the gruel on the strands for ten minutes and gently massage the skin, any oily nourishing mask is washed off.
Hair that is not too oily should be covered for 5 minutes.
Rinse your hair, gently fingering strands, throwing your head back. This is very easy to do while lying in the bathroom or while standing under the shower. Wash out the composition to stop feeling large particles on your fingers. If the entire composition does not come off with water, you need to comb dry strands with a fine comb.
After removing all the gruel from the strands, you should rinse your head with water acidified with natural wine vinegar. Add 50 grams of vinegar to one liter of water. We drop it twice with a fragrant ylang-ylang or burdock, this will give a delicate aroma and gloss to the curls.
After such a wash, the curls become thick, durable, perfectly combed, shine, do not tangle.
Cheap and angry
Women addicted to rye flour praise this method of shampooing. They warn that positive result will not manifest itself on the first try. Curls should get used to a little unusual sight soap. But, two, three weeks will be enough for your hairstyle to be unrecognizable. No nourishing conditioner is more effective.
Washing your hair with rye flour is allowed as long as you like. This procedure is not addictive. Ground rye is absolutely non-allergenic. The hairstyle becomes more luxuriant and thicker over time. Strands look healthy, shiny, well-groomed.
A bag of rye flour in a supermarket weighing half a kilogram costs about 30 rubles.
Comparative characteristics
Big choice modern means for washing hair does not exclude the relevance natural recipes inherited from our great-grandmothers. There is nothing surprising. The newest shampoos contain many chemical additives. Not every healthy hair, thick and beautiful, can withstand such an aggressive environment. After washing your hair modern drugs, split ends, brittleness, baldness, dry skin may appear.
V recent times women began to re-read the old notes of our grandmothers about hair care in old days... One of the recipes is shampooing with ground rye. At first it may seem that this is an unrealistic task, that it is impossible to wash the curls like this. But if you just try this method once, your opinion will change radically. You already know a little how to wash your hair with rye flour. Grinding of the second grade is best suited for this. A premium product, when added with water, becomes more like a dough and is difficult to wash off the head. The third grade is too large, it sticks together the strands strongly, it is problematic to wash off this plasticine.
The second grade strengthens hair follicles, stops hair loss, makes strands obedient, prevents seborrhea, relieves dandruff, excessive fat content... In addition to all these advantages, an effective budget saving is obtained, because ground rye is extremely cheap.
Recently, there has been a growing trend to use natural home remedies for skin care. This is facilitated by disappointment with expensive chemical shampoos or creams, the desire to save money and, at the same time, to pollute the environment less.
Are retrieved old recipes natural detergents, which at one time did not let our ancestors down. One of these effective natural remedies rye flour is used for hair care.
Washing with rye flour refers to the methods of supporters of "no poo" or "water only", that is, the exclusion of any chemistry from cosmetics.
The principle of this approach is to give your hair rest and the ability to recover on its own. In fact, hair has the ability to regenerate on its own, without help.
Oily hair is often caused by the aggressive defatting caused by conventional shampoos. Sebaceous glands are rapidly developing more and more sebum... If left alone and not irritated with lye, they calm down and sebum production will decrease. Only a light waxy mass (sebum) will remain on the hair. This is a natural protection, it is not visible, it only makes the hair stronger and more flexible.
