Fans of home cosmetology can also say a lot of good words about mustard powder: this natural remedy has gained great popularity in the fight for the beauty of hair. This tool helps very well.
Hot seasoning and features of its cosmetic use
The most common recipe for a mustard hair mask is as simple as twice two. The finished mask contains only two components: mustard powder and a little warm water. This mixture is also called natural shampoo. It turns out "cheap and cheerful." Just do not overexpose the composition: 5-15 minutes will be enough to cleanse it.
Another popular method for treating hair with a seasoning is the treatment with mustard based multi-component masks. By adding different ingredients to the powder, you can get rid of hair loss, grow a long braid, or, for example, "slow down" the intense work of the sebaceous glands.
What effect is worth waiting for
Judging by the reviews on beauty forms, women who have already experienced the influence of mustard masks, note a number of advantages of this natural remedy over its cosmetic "brothers." What is the effect of mustard?
- Purity. One of the best known properties of mustard powder is its ability to dissolve fats. This effect gives the tool allyl oil, which is part of the spice. Hair is cleaned both in the root zone and along the entire length. As a result, the strands do not get fatter as fast as before.
- Density. The composition of mustard seeds includes a “burning” component - capsaicin, which provides a greater flow of blood to the hair follicles, thereby activating the growth of strands.
- Strengthening. Mustard has a warming effect, enhancing the flow of blood, with which beneficial substances that strengthen hair in the roots come to the bulbs faster. That is why homemade mustard hair mask is effective against hair loss.
When mustard is powerless
On average, up to 100 hairs should fall out per person per day - this is a normal process of the natural cycle. If you think that there is much more left on the comb and in the bathroom, do a simple test. Carefully examine the fallen hair. If at its base there is no dark “capsule” (root), then everything is in order.
If the hair fell out with the root, continue testing. Do not wash your hair for three days and do not use any styling products. Then pull the strands on the temples or on the top of the head. If you have more than five hairs left in your hands, this is an alarm. And it is unlikely that only home remedies will help here, you need to see a doctor.
Mustard hair mask: 9 safe procedure rules
The locks of an average girl grow one centimeter per month. However, for many, this figure is much lower due to the daily exposure to which the hairstyle is exposed. A mask for hair growth with mustard at home can be a real find for those who want to quickly let go of the braid.
But before you run to the pharmacy for mustard powder, familiarize yourself with the features of the use of this tool. There are nine of them. Ignorance of these subtleties can nullify your efforts and even lead to negative consequences.
- Do a test. Testing the body's reaction to contact with mustard seeds is similar to the standard test that girls carry out before staining their hair with store paints. It is necessary to try the mixture prepared on the basis of mustard on the skin of the wrist. Hold the composition in this area for 20-25 minutes. In the absence of changes on the skin, feel free to apply the product on the hair.
- Choose a powder. The basis of homemade masks is taken only mustard powder, and in no case mustard sauce, because it contains a lot of chemical additives.
- Do not use shampoo. Before applying the mask, you don’t need to wash your hair, because the seasoning itself is an effective cleanser. Before the procedure, it is better to simply moisten the hair with water.
- Adjust water temperature. The base powder is diluted only with warm water, because under the influence of high temperatures hazardous fumes can be released.
- Do not overdo it. The exposure time of the mask, follow strictly according to the instructions, otherwise you can "burn" the scalp, and instead of chic curls get dandruff and peeling. In general, during mustard procedures, monitor your feelings. If you feel a burning or tingling, stop the session immediately.
- Apply the composition to the roots. To avoid overdrying, a maid mask for hair growth is applied only to the basal zone of hair. By the way, if you simultaneously cover your hair with oil (burdock, coconut, flaxseed), then this will 100% protect the curls from the drying effect of mustard.
- Create a greenhouse effect. The mask will act better and faster if you apply cellophane to your hair after applying it and insulate your head with a towel on top.
- Rinse off properly. Water should be neither cold nor hot - after the procedure, the skin can react negatively to a sharp temperature drop.
- Do not use a hairdryer. After exposure to the mask, wash your hair with shampoo, apply a balm as a protection to the “disturbed” strands. After the mask, it is better not to do blow-drying to avoid overdrying.
