Kefir mask for lightening hair

Kefir masks are suitable for natural and artificial blondes. Sour-milk product not only removes yellowness and brightens hair, but also restores curls damaged by ammonia paints and perm. A healthy drink is suitable for brown-haired women. Kefir makes the color even and adds a healthy sheen. Of course, a sour-milk product will not turn a brunette into a platinum blonde, but it will be a great addition to a lightening hair dye.

Overdried and brittle

Curls, which after the next experiments lost their shine, will revive the mask with natural oils. It is recommended to buy unrefined olive or coconut. But you can get by with cheap burdock. If the hair is badly damaged after dyeing at home, castor is added to the product.

The basis will be kefir with a fat content of at least 3.2%. If a girl wants to get a visible result in one application, the product is insisted in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. During this period, the concentration of sour milk will increase, so it will be easier for the component to penetrate the hair structure and wash the pigments responsible for the dark shade. Egg yolk will protect the curls from damage and saturate them with vitamins.

Kefir is poured into the pan. The mask less often burns in containers with a thick bottom. The workpiece is sent to a slow fire and wait until it is heated to 40–45 degrees. The base is periodically stirred and at the same time beat the egg yolk. Lush foam is poured into warm kefir, add 2-3 tbsp. l vegetable oil and 20 ml of castor oil.

The head is not washed before the procedure, but slightly moistened with plain water. The hair is impregnated with a lightening mask and tied on top of a headscarf from a plastic bag. Wrap a handkerchief so that the kefir product is better absorbed.

Option for hair that quickly gets fat

Sour-milk products balms perform several functions at once: lighten, treat, restore the sebaceous glands. The main thing is to add the right components to the kefir base. For example, hair that becomes oily one day after washing is treated with a composition containing mustard powder.

In addition to spice you will need:

• almond or burdock oil;
• natural honey;
• egg yolk.

Fat-free fresh kefir is used as a base. Heated half a glass of raw materials over low heat to 37-40 degrees, enter 1 tbsp. l dry mustard. Stir so that the powder does not stray into lumps. Large pieces of spice can burn sensitive scalp.

The clarifying mask is seasoned with foam from beaten egg yolk, 20 ml of vegetable oil and 1 tsp. honey. Insist on low heat for 5 minutes for the components to combine. If the product has a strong pungent odor, it is interrupted by rosemary or lemon essential oil. Only 3-4 drops.

First, the kefir billet is rubbed into the roots. After 5 minutes, the tips are impregnated with a brightening composition and the mass is distributed along the entire length of the hair. Put a cocoon of cling film and a terry towel on your head. Heat triggers chemical reactions and allows sour-milk acids to be absorbed into curls.

Brown haired recipes
