How to make a yeast hair mask
Almost any product that you have in the kitchen can be used in home cosmetology. A yeast mask will save you from hair loss, dandruff, oiliness and a number of other problems inherent in hair. For the mask, you can use both raw food yeast and dry powder.

Application features
Natural products are the best that you can use to care for yourself. But ignorance of the intricacies of their application leads to the fact that useful properties are "dispersed". In order for a mask of hair yeast to please you with an effect, take into account five features of using the product.
- Frequency of use. Apply the mask once a week. The duration of the course is 12 procedures. This should be followed by a two-week break.
- Optimal time. Keep the mask on curls you need no longer than an hour. It makes no sense to leave the product overnight.
- Proper application. Yeast mask works best on wet strands. Before the procedure, wash the curls with warm water or sprinkle them from the spray bottle.
- Sequence of application. The main attention should be paid precisely to the roots. Within two to three minutes, rub the composition into the skin, and distribute the remains of the mask along the length.
- Warming. It is important that when applying the mask to curls, the fermentation process continues. To do this, be sure to insulate your head with polyethylene and a thick towel.
Manufacturers of cosmetics often include natural ingredients. But yeast in the list of ingredients is almost impossible to meet (with rare exceptions). The thing is that in a tube or bottle it is not easy to create conditions for the vital functions of these mushrooms. Thus, only at home can an effective “living” remedy be prepared. Positive feedback on the mask of yeast for hair is a great occasion for experiment.
Reviews: “Helps to grow hair and smells of bread”
And I made a kefir-yeast mask 2 months 1 time a week. I did it not only on the roots, but on the whole length (then you can don’t cut the ends for half a year, they don’t cut off). After the first month, the hair stopped falling out. and even began to grow faster. very satisfied.

This mask really helps to grow hair, moreover, it has the effect of lamination. I made a mask of yeast with kefir, when I really wanted to quickly grow my hair. You need to mix 2 cm of yeast in a bowl, honey and kefir half a glass. Place the mixture for 30 minutes in a warm place until foam forms. Then apply it to your hair, wrap your head with a film and a towel. Hold the mask for about 40 minutes.

From January to March, she made a course of yeast masks with bread. The effect, I tell you, is wonderful. And I didn’t notice any unpleasant smell - it smells of bread. And washed away nettle broth, not even vinegar.
any kind of yeast is good for hair. Here, I think, to try with onion juice. But here the smell is already onion.Irina Kanygina, http://narodnayamedicina.com/drozhzhevaya-maska-dlya-volos-v-domashnikh-usloviyakh/
