Mayonnaise hair masks

Beautiful lush hair is not only a natural gift, but also the result of proper comprehensive care for them. One of its stages is the use of various masks for curls. They can be store-bought or homemade. But not everyone knows that mayonnaise hair masks can completely transform strands beyond recognition for the better.

To many who hear about the use of mayonnaise as a hair care product for the first time, this seems strange. But if you look, this product consists of components such as mustard, vinegar, lemon juice and egg yolk, and it is these components that most often act as the main composition of many masks for curls. In mayonnaise, they are combined together, so it is not surprising that mayonnaise cosmetics are actively used in such cases as:

1. Restoration of damaged, dry, brittle and dull hair. Regular use of masks based on this product allows you to nourish damaged strands with essential substances and trace elements, give them shine and shine, strengthen hair follicles and accelerate hair growth. In addition, mayonnaise cosmetics prevents the appearance of split ends and does not allow them to appear again.
2. Mayonnaise can perfectly replace an expensive product designed to remove paint from curls. All that is needed is to mix this product with a special extraordinary oil and use the resulting mixture daily for 10 days. During this time, the strands can be lightened without harm to them by 4-7 shades. Such a tool can be used both in cases of unsuccessful hair coloring, and in cases where it is necessary to perform the most gentle lightening of curls.
3. Laminating strands is, of course, a very useful procedure for them, but also expensive. But again, a mayonnaise mask will help to save a lot on its implementation. With its regular use, you can achieve the effect of light lamination of curls. And if such a procedure was performed earlier in the salon, then using mayonnaise for hair care, you can significantly extend the effect of lamination on the hair. Lamination mix includes egg, castor oil and mayonnaise.

When giving preference to ready-made mayonnaise products, it is worth remembering that preservatives will definitely be present in its composition, therefore it is better to give preference to products whose composition is as natural as possible and does not contain a large number of chemical additives such as parabens, preservatives and acids.

Despite the apparent effectiveness of using mayonnaise sauce as a hair care product, few manufacturers have decided to release products based on it. The most effective, useful and natural are the following two remedies:

1. Mayonnaise mask from Fresh Line is a completely natural, safe and effective cosmetic product. It has a thick and oily texture, it is easily distributed over the curls. Rinse it off with plenty of warm water using shampoo. The result of using such a mask will be healthy, voluminous, smooth and shiny hair. This product contains only natural ingredients such as milk, mustard, egg yolks, vitamins and lecithin.
2. No less effective is the Mayonnaise mask from Tasha & Co. The composition is slightly different from the previous remedy, it contains honey, cognac, mustard, vinegar and olive oil. And if the mask of the first manufacturer did not stimulate hair growth, then this one also performs this function. Curls begin to grow faster, they become more shiny, manageable and silky, and hair loss stops.

Mayonnaise cosmetics, as well as the product itself, which is its basis, must be stored in a cool place and in an airtight container.. It is best to store the mask in the refrigerator. And before use, remove the required amount from the jar and slightly warm it in a water bath. So you can not only fully preserve all the benefits of this product, but also not be afraid that harmful fungi or mold will start in it.Excessive dampness, as well as high temperature, negatively affect the ingredients that make up such a mask.

But no matter how effective and natural store products are, only the mask that was made on the basis of homemade mayonnaise can bring maximum benefit.

When cooking yourself, you must ensure that all products are at room temperature, especially egg yolks. Oil can be used both vegetable and olive, flaxseed is also great. If finances allow, then you can use coconut oil, jojoba or shea. In this case, you can use both one type, and combining several at once.

There are three basic mayonnaise sauce recipes that are best suited for making hair masks.

1. One egg yolk is mixed with a teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of salt, the mixture is thoroughly mixed and about 40 g of oil is added to it by a teaspoon, while all the components must be constantly beaten. When the mass begins to thicken strongly, add a teaspoon of mustard powder and a dessert spoon of lemon juice to it. Then mix thoroughly again. It is permissible to change a chicken egg for quail eggs in a ratio of 1: 2.
2. Kefir mayonnaise sauce is ideal for preparing masks designed for very damaged, split ends and dull hair. To prepare it, you need to mix an egg yolk, a pinch of mustard powder, 100 ml of kefir, 50 ml of any oil and a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar.This mayonnaise has a less aggressive composition and is suitable even for those women who have very dry and sensitive scalp.
3. The simplest mayonnaise is made from half a glass of butter, two quail egg yolks and a dessert spoon of apple or wine vinegar. All components are mixed and whipped for 5-8 minutes.

There are a huge number of options for preparing mayonnaise masks for hair. The most effective and easy to perform are the following recipes:

• Combination of mayonnaise with banana. These two products are mixed until a homogeneous puree. For one fruit weighing about 200 g, 1 spoon of sauce is required. But such a mask is not applied to the hair roots and it suits more very dry, damaged hair.

• In order not only to give the strands silkiness, radiance and a healthy look, but also to enhance their growth, a mayonnaise mask with avocado is used. Three spoons of sauce and one spoon of juice of this fruit or mashed from it are mixed. Such a mask is applied in larger quantities precisely to the hair roots and scalp, and its remnants are distributed along the entire length.

• To lighten hair and strengthen it, a mixture of honey and mayonnaise, taken in equal proportions, is used. The mask is applied to the entire length of the curls evenly.

• Sour cream and homemade mayonnaise complement each other perfectly and a mask made on the basis of these products is suitable for all types of curls.. To prepare it, these two ingredients are mixed in proportions of 1: 3 and applied evenly on the scalp and the entire length of the strands.

• A mask made from an equal amount of onion or garlic gruel and mayonnaise sauce will help to activate hair growth and stop hair loss. So that the strands do not have a specific smell after use, they must be rinsed with water with the addition of a small amount of vinegar or lavender essential oil.

Having decided to start using mayonnaise masks to nourish your curls, it is worth considering that you need to complete the full course. It lasts two months with a frequency of using masks once or twice a week.

All types of this mixture are applied only to dry curls, which do not need to be pre-cleaned. If the hair is dry, then the mixture is applied to their entire length, hair roots and scalp, if the curls are oily, the mask is applied to the middle of their length and to the tips. But this rule does not apply to masks that stimulate hair growth, they are applied for the most part precisely on the roots and scalp.

After applying the mask, the head must be insulated with a plastic cap and a warm terry towel on top. Keep the mask on your hair for about 35 minutes.If there are no discomfort during the procedure, then the duration of the mask can be increased to one hour, but no more.

Rinse off the remnants of the mixture very carefully, be sure to use shampoo. It is not worth applying any balm or conditioner, mayonnaise softens the curls and makes them obedient. It is best to rinse your hair with acidified vinegar or lime juice water. Instead, you can use lavender essential oil - 3 drops per liter of water. This will give your hair extra shine and get rid of the specific mayonnaise flavor.

By and large, all reviews about the use of masks based on mayonnaise are positive. Women note an improvement in the appearance of curls, increasing their shine, eliminating excessive dryness and brittleness. According to them, the strands become more voluminous and obedient, the hair stops falling out, and in general, the hair looks much better.

Negative reviews are also found, but extremely rarely, and they are mainly associated with the misuse of this tool and non-compliance with recommendations for its use. Those who applied the mixture to the roots of oily hair say that the strands began to become even more oily. But after the start of the correct use of this tool, all problems were eliminated.
