Oily hair mask

Both women and men face a problem resembling a vicious circle: the sooner the hair becomes greasy and unkempt, the more often it is washed with shampoo; the more often the hair is washed and styled, the faster it becomes oily again. The reasons for this problem lie not only in the disruption of the functioning of the endocrine system, but also in the mistakes that are made when caring for your curls. The situation is exacerbated by the use of unhealthy foods - foods high in fat, carbohydrates, artificial additives.

One of the ways to solve the problem of oily hair are special masks that normalize the sebaceous glands of the scalp. They also help to get rid of unpleasant companions of oily hair - dandruff, oily seborrhea, increased hair loss. At the same time, you can try branded masks sold in stores, or you can try to cook them yourself at home.

All masks for oily hair contain active ingredients that have a complex effect on the hair and scalp. They work in different ways, but the result is healthy, beautiful, easy-to-style strands. The composition of these masks includes such natural ingredients as:

• beaten raw egg;
• gelatin;

• vitaminize the skin;
• exfoliate its dead particles;
• cleanse the pores of toxins;
• increase the volume of the hairstyle;

Let's take a closer look at what types of masks are.

It is better to mix the components immediately before the procedure. So that the strands do not get greasy longer, it is effective to use compounds that are useful both for the hair roots and for the scalp. Try the following mask options:
