Conclusion

1. Clay can be used with any type of hair, it has no contraindications and does not cause irritation.
2. The effect of the application will be noticeable only with regular use of the product.

For thousands of years, our ancestors used the gifts of nature for health and beauty. For some time they were undeservedly forgotten. The world has been flooded with innovative discoveries in cosmetology, but now organic ingredients are again regaining their place in the beauty industry. White clay is one of these wonderful gifts. Its scientific name is kaolin, and its field of application is unusually wide. In cosmetology, it is used to improve skin, nails and hair. Do not look at the penny cost, it has something to surprise you with. In this article, we will talk about the beneficial properties and subtleties of using white clay.

What are the benefits of white clay for hair

White clay therapy is one of the most promising natural therapies. It is germ-free, detoxifies and kills bacteria. Clay creates a protective layer on your skin or hair that protects it from environmental influences. In the old days, it was used for intestinal diseases, joint diseases. Nowadays, clay is a frequent guest of cosmetics formulations, including for hair.

Clay chemical composition:

• silicon;
• aluminum;
• potassium;
• magnesium;
• nitrogen;
• zinc;
• calcium;
• mineral salts.

The main property of clay is the ability to disinfect. This property has a positive effect on dandruff or, for example, seborrhea. Girls with increased secretion of sebum from hair follicles also need to take a closer look at her. With high activity of the sebaceous ducts, the base of the hair often looks dull and lifeless. Clay masks will help reduce the secretion of sebum, the hair will shine and look clean longer.

Kaolin will help with too dry scalp. Thanks to the minerals it contains, the clay will nourish the hair shaft with moisturizing ingredients and help the scales to smooth out.

Here is a list of indications for using white clay for hair treatment:

1. Slowdown in growth.
2. Hair loss caused by alopecia.
3. Dull color.
4. Split ends.
5. Oily and quickly staining hair.
6. Lack of gloss.
7. Difficulty combing.

How white hair clay is used

For any composition used in cosmetology, there are important rules for use and clay is no exception. Here are the technologies you need to follow for a white clay hair treatment to be successful.

Buy packaged clay from drug stores or beauty stores. You can not use the one that you found in nature or on summer cottage, no one can guarantee that it does not contain impurities of other substances. The shelf life of the powder is long, and sometimes indefinite, provided that the storage conditions at home are observed. But this does not apply to the finished composition.

When you have already mixed the clay with the liquid, use it immediately, before next application she will lose beneficial features.

When mixing clay, use a clay, glass, ceramic container. Metal and crockery and cutlery oxidize and may change chemical composition masks. You can stir the resulting mass with a wooden stick or with your hands, if you are not hot.

Observe temperature regime... Any liquid, water or herbal decoction, is added heated to about 30-35 degrees C. In a cold liquid, clay dissolves poorly and does not stir to a homogeneous mass, and in too hot it will lose its beneficial properties. Consistency finished mask for hair should be thick. Do not be afraid to make a mistake in the proportions, if you add a lot of water, you can add more clay powder. We have already mentioned that instead of plain water, you can dilute clay with herbal decoctions. To choose the right herbs, determine your hair type - see the article for what hair types are.

Apply the resulting mixture evenly to slightly damp hair, keep as long as the manufacturer has indicated on the pack. For greater benefit, wrap with cellophane, a towel or handkerchief, the heat will help the beneficial components penetrate into the inner structure of the hair. Rinse off the clay is easy enough, just rinse your hair with shampoo and then apply the balm. If the mask contained oil, washing it twice with shampoo will help.

What are the contraindications

The use of white clay is considered safe, because it has few contraindications. Before using, make sure you do not have allergic reaction... To avoid surprises and unpleasant incidents, a day before treatment, smear a little clay on the back of the hand below the elbow. If you notice redness or any other pigmentation from using clay as a cosmetic component, it is better to refrain from using it. Use with caution when skin diseases, asthma. Consult your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease.

And she pointed out that it can be used to care for curls. But how? Of course, there are subtleties here, and the recipes need suitable ones. Today I will just tell you how to make a white clay hair mask.

Clays are different, but kaolin is one ...

There are many types of clay, and they differ not only in color. The main difference is in the composition, on which, by the way, the color depends. Therefore, for curls different types clays act in different ways.

For example, there is a lot of zinc in green, although it is also in clay of other colors, just in less quantity. Zinc is one of better means from dandruff, which means that masks with green clay will be effective against it.

If you want to strengthen the hair follicles, masks are made of white and blue clay, since they contain a complex of minerals necessary for hair growth, in particular - silicon and calcium, which are the building blocks of hair shafts.

The unique composition of white clay allows not only to strengthen the strands from the roots, but also to "repair" them along the entire length, because it contains a lot of silica, which contributes to the rapid assimilation of other elements. As a result, the use of kaolin masks can solve such problems as:

• thin and brittle strands;
• oily scalp, seborrhea;
• slow growth of curls;
• hair loss;
• quick salting of curls;
• lack of shine, dull strands.

I had to use the Kera-Nova shampoo of the Floresan company, it is just based on white clay. I can say that the effect is amazing. And the reviews say that not only I liked him. However, it seems to me even better to make cosmetic masks from kaolin at home, selecting their composition in such a way that it fits as much as possible. I personally decided to take this path and do not regret it.

Rules or moments?

I must warn you that you need to apply according to certain rules. If they are not followed, the result will be disastrous. It is very important here not to overdry the curls and scalp, especially if they are not particularly greasy anyway. So, the main points:

1. How and what to breed. You can dilute white clay with water, whey, milk or kefir, herbal decoctions, cucumber or tomato juice, other products. The consistency should be thin enough and slightly stringy so that it can be easily rubbed into the scalp and distributed over the strands.
2. How to apply. White clay has a beneficial effect on both the skin and the curls themselves, helping to restore their structure. For this reason, products with kaolin are usually applied to the skin, separating the strands along partings, applying a little of the product with a brush and rubbing with your fingers with light massage movements, after distributing the rest of the mass along the entire length of the strands. To do this, you can simply type it in the palm of your hand and run them through your hair. The main thing is to do everything very quickly so that the mass does not have time to thicken and even more so to dry out.
3. How to keep. Keep kaolin products on your head under a plastic cap. This is necessary, otherwise the mass will quickly dry out and begin to take moisture from both the strands and the skin.
4. How much to keep. The exposure time is usually 15 to 25 minutes. It is not necessary to keep it on your head for more than half an hour, otherwise, instead of benefit, it will cause harm. You cannot leave the mask overnight - it will be a very big mistake: then you will have to restore your hair for a long time, not to mention severe irritation of the scalp.
5. How to wash off. If the mask contains no strong-smelling agents and oils, then it is best to rinse it off with just warm water. Otherwise, you need to use shampoo as well.
6. How often to do it. With a very oily scalp and hair, you can make a kaolin mask twice a week, with a low fat content - once a week, and with normal and dry skin - after 14-15 days, always adding oil to the composition. On average, the interval should be 5 days. After a month - one and a half, take a break for at least a couple of months so that the hair does not get too used to such luxury.

Attention! Always use caution when using new components:be sure to test them. This rule applies at all times and at all times.

All clear? Not complicated, are the rules ?!

Kaolin placers

Already decided on the need for kaolin masks? Getting started? Well, choose the right recipe, because I have selected the best for you.

With herbs

To begin with, I will offer a completely uncomplicated version of a regulating mask for oily hair.

Prepare a decoction or, dilute the kaolin with it to a suitable density, add 3 drops of grapefruit oil. This mask can also be used for curls, oily at the roots and dry at the ends, if before applying the main product, from about the middle of the length, treat them with any cosmetic oil.

With egg and sour cream

It will require:

• kaolin - a tablespoon
• one egg and
• sour cream - a tablespoon.

For oily hair, it is better to replace the latter with kefir or yogurt. Keep in mind that the mask has a pronounced rinsing effect. What it is? And this is if your hair was dyed, then after such a mask you will get a color that is half a tone paler.

With apple cider vinegar and henna

A wonderful revitalizing mask. However, if you are used to dyeing your hair with chemical dyes, test it first on the lower, inconspicuous curl.

Mix three tablespoons of kaolin with 20 ml, for dry hair, add a spoonful of mineral oil. Pour a colorless tablespoon with a small amount of warm water. Combine the clay mixture with henna and apply to hair.

This is one of the few kaolin masks that works for blondes - most clay masks can give their curls a different shade.

For hair ends

In addition to clay, it contains cranberries and milk. But! This is how cosmetologists recommend, but personally I don't have cranberries. Therefore, I replace it with viburnum (what is not an option?). So:

Grind a tablespoon of fresh or frozen cranberries in a blender. Pour milk (30 ml) into kaolin (two tablespoons), stir. Combine with cranberry puree. This blend helps repair split ends, but can also be used to improve the condition of curls along the entire length.

With bell pepper and kefir

You already understood the composition from the name. Pepper, pre-grind in mashed potatoes with a blender. Combine the prepared tablespoon of clay with a spoonful of kefir and mix with the same amount of pepper. If suddenly the mixture is thick - feel free to add more kefir. Use the resulting mass as a mask to improve the structure and thickness of the hair.

With honey and castor oil

Castor oil is an ideal remedy not only for the shine of curls, but in combination with honey and kaolin, all its qualities only benefit. Two tablespoons of kaolin must be mixed with the same amount of castor oil, add a teaspoon of honey to the mixture, before that, of course, melt it. The mask is ready! Only, despite the oily composition, do not forget to close your hair with a cap.

With mustard

A very interesting mask that is active against hair loss:

• yolk and
• mustard.

Dilute a spoonful of white clay (I have Anapskaya from Phytocosmetic) with the same amount of lemon juice. Mix all this with a spoonful of honey (it should be melted to a liquid consistency in a steam or water bath), and a small piece (about 8-10 g) of softened butter. It remains to grind the mixture with yolk and a spoonful of mustard (in powder).

You already know how to apply clay masks. Just do not forget about the mustard in the composition - it will be hot.

Attention! In general, hot masks stimulate hair follicles well, after which they begin to work in a completely different way. Speaking in Russian, this is a kind of kick, after which the hair significantly accelerates growth and reduces losses in its ranks. The main thing is to remember about moderation.

With burdock oil and cinnamon

Another option for a hot mask, with the skillful use of which you will get lush hair. Compound:

• Kaolin - 1.5 tbsp. spoons,
• Ground cinnamon - 2 teaspoons,
• Burdock oil - 2 teaspoons,
• One yolk,
• Red pepper - a pinch.

Clay, by the way, it can be both white and blue in this composition, we mix with pepper and cinnamon. The main thing at this stage is not to overdo it with pepper! And then we begin to dilute our dry components with liquid ones: first, we introduce the yolk and oil, dilute with water or broth to the desired density.

All mixed until smooth? One more component needs to be added. Which? But it depends on what type of hair you have. If they are oily - pour in a teaspoon of lemon juice, if dry - 5 drops essential oil rosemary.

Attention! Lemon in hair masks works in the same way as for the face - brightens. Remember this when using it.

For brittle hair with vitamin E

I do not advise tocopherol (aka vitamin E) to dilute in water, it will be poorly absorbed. I prefer to do with, but it can be almond or, even easier -. Proportions:

• a tablespoon of clay
• tea room - oils,
• one yolk, and
• a couple of tocopherol capsules.

We mix the composition in the following sequence: add the yolk and oil vitamin to the clay, and finally, bring it to the desired density with water (or a decoction of herbs).

With beer and yeast

For the volume of hair, this is the most lethal option. Compound:

• dry yeast - a teaspoon,
• beer - 0.5 cups,
• white clay - 3 tbsp. spoons.

Fill the yeast with beer, let it brew in a warm place and begin to "work". Carefully mix the working composition with kaolin. Apply to hair, close, insulate, “withstand” for half an hour and rinse off.

There was no oil in the composition, therefore, it can be washed off without shampoo. However, to enhance the effect, I advise you to rinse your hair with water mixed with beer.

As you can see, the masks with clay are so different - they just run up their eyes. I think it's worth trying a few. If in doubt, I suggest watching the video:

Precautions

Kaolin masks are suitable for almost everyone. Perhaps some of you doubt whether it is possible to do them with dry skin. I assure you - you can! The main thing is to choose a suitable recipe and not keep it for a long time, so that the clay does not dry out. There are restrictions on the use of kaolin hair masks, but they are different:

• the presence of open wounds on the head;
• light hair color (shade may change);
• allergy to one of the components of the mask.

For this reason, be sure to perform a sensitivity test before starting the procedure. I personally never neglect this rule.

I hope to see you on my blog more than once - I have in store for you a lot of useful and interesting information... And do not forget to share the knowledge gained with your friends - perhaps mask recipes will be useful not only for you. I look forward to seeing you again!

Kefir is not only a tasty and healthy drink, but also an excellent hair mask! Kefir is common and affordable folk remedy for hair care at home. Kefir contains calcium, protein, yeast, lactic acid sticks, vitamins B and E, which perfectly nourish the hair, strengthening and restoring its structure.

How does kefir work on hair

Kefir is known to be a real hair rinse. This product has been proven for centuries to this day, because there is nothing better for the strength and natural shine of hair.

Also kefir is saturated with proteins and fermented milk sticks.
