Miracle remedy: Hair masks with olive oil

Maintaining the health and beauty of your hair requires a lot of time and patience. But this does not mean that you need to visit the salon 10 times a month. It is better to use natural ingredients at home. Everything is quite simple. The secret to the beauty of shiny curls is a hair mask made with olive oil.

How does olive oil work?

Olive oil is an excellent emollient that makes hair smooth and silky, improving its elasticity and strength. The remedy also improves the quality of dull curls, making them shiny and healthy.

A hair mask made from olive oil and avocado

It is believed to be one of the best masks for dry and damaged hair. Avocados are rich in oleic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins A, B and E. A mask made of these ingredients will make curls shiny, soft and obedient.

Ingredients:

1/2 ripe avocado

2 tablespoons of olive oil

How to apply:

1. Rub the flesh of half the avocado to a pasty consistency.
2. Add two tablespoons of olive oil to the avocado.
3. Mix the ingredients until smooth.
4. Wash your hair with shampoo. Apply the mask to slightly damp locks, concentrating on the roots and spreading the mixture along the entire length.
5. Cover the curls with a shower cap and wrap them with a towel.
6. Leave the mask on for 45-60 minutes, then rinse with shampoo and apply conditioner.
7. Allow your hair to dry naturally or use a hairdryer in cold mode.

This mask should be applied only once or twice a month if the hair is not too damaged or dry.

A hair mask made from olive oil and eggs

Eggs are rich in proteins and nutrients that improve the health of curls. Yolks are rich in fatty oils that nourish and restore dry and damaged hair. Egg whites contain enzymes that remove excess oil from the scalp.

Ingredients:

2 egg yolks (for dry hair) / 2 egg whites (for oily hair) / 1 egg (for normal or combination hair)

2 tablespoons of olive oil

Wide-toothed comb

How to apply:

1. Depending on the type of hair, select the correct egg parts to use from the list above.
2. Whisk an egg (protein or yolk) with olive oil in a bowl until the mixture is creamy in texture and shade.
3. Wash your hair with shampoo. Separate wet strands with a wide-toothed comb and apply the mixture.
4. Cover all the curls with the mixture, concentrating on the tips.
5. Make a hair bun and wait for 20 minutes.
6. Wash off the mask with shampoo and cold water (eggs can cook from hot water and it will be difficult to wash them from the hair).
7. It is advisable not to use the hairdryer so that moisture does not evaporate from the hair.

You can use the mask twice a week, regardless of the type of hair.
