Why should you do your hair treatment yourself?
The main benefit of homemade cosmetics is obvious: they don’t contain any dubious chemical additives like silicones or parabens. Another benefit is that a hair treatment’s ingredients penetrate the hair, unlike a rinse or conditioner, which only takes care of the hair’s surface.
Who ought to utilize a hair treatment?
The length of hair affected how long it was exposed to outside factors. Therefore, for common hair issues like split ends and dryness—which affect both men and women—a hair treatment should be used. Treatment is particularly useful for long hair that is often blow-dried or straightened.
It is advised against rubbing long hair dry and against using an intense blow dryer. However, even short hair can benefit from a hair treatment because even short hair can become stressed by the weather and hot air.
How is a hair treatment applied correctly?
The rinsed and towel-dried hair is massaged with the homemade hair treatment. To achieve this, the hair treatment is applied and thoroughly worked into the lengths beginning at the hairline. A hair treatment should typically be applied, allowed to absorb for a few minutes, and then washed out with a mild shampoo. If you do without shampoo, it will be difficult to dissolve the oil.
One frequently comes across phrases like, “The longer the oil has had to take effect, the better,” when discussing hair treatments. While not entirely accurate, this is not necessarily true either. Some hair treatments allow the care to stay entirely in the hair. For instance, if you only apply an oil mixture to the tips, this is the case. You shouldn’t leave the hair treatment on overnight if you have oily hair.
For instance, if you let the banana hair treatment sit on your hair overnight, the next day you’ll wake up to noticeably healthy, strong hair. However, you must allow time for this as well because the oil-banana mixture needs to be thoroughly rinsed out.
This is how the hair mask works: wash it out.
The hair is given a thorough treatment, but washing it out takes time. Most of the time, a wash is not necessary. Instead, give yourself a little more time to prepare. It might take up to three washes. Particular issues arise at the hairline. This can be fixed with lukewarm water and a gentle shampoo.
In any case, avoid hot water, as this will damage your hair and take away its shine.
How often should a hair treatment be used?
Hair treatments should be applied to dry or damp hair about once a week. The rule here is: less is more. Overly groomed hair loses volume and hair feels greasy and heavy.
Applying an oil mixture to the split ends of the hair can sometimes be enough to combat split ends. Rinsing is not necessary for this situation. This application can also be completed more than once a week because it is simple and quick to complete.
