Revealing Recipes for the Best Salt Hair Masks

Hair splits, breaks and falls out - problems known to almost every woman. In warm countries, where there are fresh vitamins all year round, women's hair looks much more attractive. We, "northerners", often envy them. In winter we have to wear hats, and in summer our hair suffers from urban smog and "asphalt scorch": maintaining their health and beauty is not easy, although there is no shortage of cosmetics.

To keep your hair beautiful and healthy, it is imperative to take care of it regularly. One effective home remedy is hair salt. What is the use of it, how to use it correctly and the most useful recipes with hair salt, we will tell you right now.

What to do if your hair has become weak and lifeless? Fortunately, simple home remedies can help. Often, "everyday use" products produce "cosmetics" no worse, and sometimes even more effective than store-bought ones. So, not everyone knows about the cosmetic properties of common salt; of course, we know how to make masks and scrubs for the face and body with it, take baths, but salt also “works wonders” in hair care. Hair grows better after regular use of salt, becomes stronger, and hair loss stops.

Specialists also advise to take care of hair and scalp with salt; let's say a little about its medicinal properties.

What are the benefits for hair?

Regular table salt is fine too, but sea salt is preferable: it has over 60 minerals. Sodium normalizes water balance, potassium protects against dryness, magnesium stimulates blood circulation in the skin, calcium and bromine improve hair structure, strontium strengthens roots, etc.

Having bought salt, it is necessary to grind it (crush, grind) and use it: make scrubs, masks and massage; minerals will partially get into the upper layers of the scalp: the hair will begin to nourish and strengthen.

By mixing salt with oils, herbal decoctions and other ingredients of homemade masks, we will help the active substances quickly penetrate to the follicles - bulbs.

After salt procedures, the hair not only grows better and falls out less: dandruff and oily content disappear, the hair becomes elastic and shiny.

Many people think that salt cannot be good for hair. So, after bathing in the sea, it can be seen perfectly: the hair suffers - it is hard and matted. If sea water dries out on the hair, and even in the open sun - it is, but with proper care, the opposite is true. Let's talk about how to properly use hair salt?

How to apply hair salt correctly

For salt to really benefit your hair, you need to apply it according to simple rules. Let's talk about this in more detail.

• Make sure that the scalp is intact: if there is damage, even scratches, skin rashes, salt should not be used.
• Test the prepared formulations as you would any care products, applying to the arm around the wrist or fold.
• Hair should be slightly damp: there is less risk of drying out and nutrients are absorbed better.
• Protect sensitive areas of the skin that may get salt from irritation by lubricating your ears and forehead with any greasy cream.
• If you are peeling, gently rub the salt into the scalp and wash off after 10 minutes. Masks with hair salt should be kept for at least half an hour, wrapping your head, but always monitor the sensations.
• After the salt procedure, you should wash your hair thoroughly: wash all the salt without residue with clean water, then wash with your own shampoo, and finally, again with clean water. Balms and rinses are not required.
• For very dry hair, salt treatment is not recommended, especially in pure form. If you feel like giving it a try, protect your hair with an oil, such as olive oil, and then apply a salt mask.
• Almost all formulations with salt improve hair growth and prevent hair loss: some work faster, others slower - here again everything depends on individual reactions.
