Spa hair mask at home

Spa mask is an effective procedure for the health and beauty of hair. The high temperature helps the curls to absorb the benefits from the outside faster and more. But the best part is that there is nothing complicated about a spa mask. It can be done at home, and not only in salon conditions.

How to make a spa hair mask at home? Several ways

1 way (saucepan)

You will need a pot of hot water and a towel. The principle is like in childhood, when we were treated for a cold, breathing over freshly boiled potatoes.

We apply on the strands any natural, useful component of the mask (the list will be below). Then cover your head with a large bath towel. And we "breathe" over the pan for 10 minutes.

Observe precautions! There should not be boiling water in the saucepan, otherwise there is a risk of scalding.

Then we wrap the hair in the same towel and wait another 20-30 minutes. Wash off the mask with a mild shampoo.

2 way (hairdryer)

We distribute the components of the mask over the curls. Put on a shower cap or wrap your hair in stretch wrap or plastic bags. Cover the structure with a towel on top and heat it with a hairdryer for 5 minutes. After 10 minutes, you can repeat the heating with a hairdryer. In total, we go with a spa mask on our head for at least half an hour. We wash it off.

3 way (bath or bath)

Of course, it's great if you have a sauna or steam bath at your disposal. Then everything is simple. Apply the mask to your hair and steam as you used to. You can also do a similar action in a regular bath. Apply the mask to your hair. And take your bath as usual. But keep in mind that the effect is achieved only with prolonged heating. Therefore, you need to stay in the bath for at least half an hour and make sure that the water in it does not cool down.

Ingredients for a spa mask at home

All solid components of spa masks must be pulverized. You can also combine multiple ingredients as you like.
