Kefir hair masks: useful properties
Why in those days when there were no shampoos and balms, the hair of women was thick, lush and healthy? Because they washed them with natural products - eggs, brown bread, sour milk. Progress has since gone far ahead. Every year, the latest developments in the cosmetics industry appear on store shelves: a variety of shampoos and balms, loudly declaring miraculous properties. But for some reason, our contemporaries, with a few exceptions, cannot boast of the beauty and shine of their hair. Maybe you should look back and learn from your ancestors how to care for your hair. You can start with simple masks, for example, kefir.
Firstly, kefir is an affordable and inexpensive product, and secondly, it contains many useful elements - lactic acid and acetic acid bacteria, vitamins E, B, yeast, proteins. It not only restores the hair structure, but also nourishes the scalp, strengthens the hair follicles. Thanks to the acidic environment, kefir ideally cleanses the hair from pollution and greasy deposits, and the skin - from keratinized particles. It forms a natural protective layer on the hair and scalp, which protects against negative external influences. In just a couple of months of regular use of kefir masks, your hair will be transformed: it will come to life, shine, become silky, soft, and will begin to grow faster. You will forget about brittleness and hair loss, greasy locks and dandruff.
Kefir hair masks: recommendations and contraindications
Kefir masks are recommended for absolutely everyone. Contraindication can only be individual intolerance to the product. Depending on the type of hair, only additional ingredients are changed. Kefir, with its acidic environment, is a natural oxidizing agent that has a light clarifying effect on the hair. Therefore, kefir masks will especially please blondes. But painted brunettes and brown-haired women, if they value dark color, will have to refuse kefir masks, or make them less often.
By the way, instead of kefir, you can use sour milk. It has the same beneficial properties. For masks, only fresh products should be used. To make sour milk, or yogurt, you need to leave fresh milk on a table overnight in a glass container. To make it sour faster, you need to put in a bowl with milk rye cracker. It is better to buy it on the market so that it does not contain preservatives.
So that kefir does not drip after application to the hair, you can wrap your head with oilcloth or a bag, and wrap it with an ordinary towel. Keep the kefir mask for at least one hour. Wash it off with shampoo, only with warm (not hot) water so that the protein does not curl. After the procedure, it is recommended to rinse your hair with slightly acidified vinegar, or citric acid, with water. Kefir masks can be done for a long time, with a regularity of once or twice a week.
