Any, except for the cocoa mask.

How to apply kefir masks?

Apply kefir to your hair in 2 stages: 1 roots and 2 ends.

Kefir temperature from 30 – 37 or at room temperature, so as not to catch a cold.

Apply to clean or dirty surfaces, there are 2 recommendations.

Supporters of wearing masks on your hair for a long time say that it is better to wash it, so dirt, dust and other harmful substances will not be absorbed into your skin along with the mask. And washing off with shampoo negates the entire effect of the mask.

Long-haired women who like to keep things simple think that everything will be fine anyway. And washing your hair twice a day is also not very useful.

Choose the option that suits you.

1. Once your hair is soaked in the mask, lightly squeeze it to remove excess liquid.
2. For long ones, it is recommended to wrap them in a bun or a shell.
3. Then wrap it with cling film that fits more tightly to the back of the head so that the cap holds on and does not fall.
4. We insulate the top with a towel for 1 hour or less, but it’s better longer for contact between the mask and hair.

Rinse off after applying to dirty hair

We wash off with shampoo, if the hair has not been washed beforehand, if desired, use conditioners or infusions of herbs or vinegar or lemon juice.

Rinse off clean hair

For better rinsability, drop the juice of half a lemon into water or 1 tsp. vinegar per 3-5 liters of water. Herbal decoctions are also suitable.

What is important to remember about preparing masks?

1. Vegetable oils lose their beneficial properties when heated, so it’s logical to put them last if the mask will be heat treated.
2. Kefir and eggs do not tolerate heat well, they will curl or cook. Therefore, heat in a water bath, if necessary, gradually, without sudden transitions to boiling.
3. Some the ingredients of the masks do not tolerate long-term contact: with light, air, iron objects.
   
   For example, vitamins.

   Therefore, reading mask recipes pay attention to temperature regime , shelf life and compatibility of ingredients, how to stir it and in what container.

4. Give up the idea of ​​pouring all the vitamins or oils into the mask at once. for better effect, it can be reversed.
