How to cook a yeast hair mask
The effectiveness of live and dry baker's yeast is approximately equivalent, so in recipes they are interchangeable according to personal taste.
The preparation of any mask begins with the cultivation of yeast in a warm liquid - water, dairy product, fruit juice, beer, herbal broth.
About 1 hour (but not less than 30 minutes), the yeast must ferment in a warm place before they can be mixed with the other ingredients of the mask. Their choice is not limited by anything - a yeast hair mask can contain anything.
To ensure that the mask is easily washed off and does not get stuck on the hair, it is very important to achieve its homogeneous consistency without lumps.
If the mask has cooled down - immediately before applying it is heated to a temperature that is pleasant to the touch.
How to use a yeast hair mask
Optimally, the yeast mask manifests itself on clean, wet hair, so that in front of it they wash their hair and do not even need to wipe their hair with a towel - just squeeze a little.
Use such masks should be in a certain order.
· First, the composition is applied to the scalp, you can massage it lightly for a couple of minutes, activating blood circulation and metabolic processes;
· Then the mixture is distributed along the entire length of the hair, but it is not necessary to get to the tips - many note that the yeast overdries them.
After applying the mask, it is necessary to cover the hair with polyethylene (a shower cap) and wrap it, insulate the head with a towel. The fact is that for the full effect of the yeast, fermentation is necessary, which means that the greenhouse effect is required.
The added exposure time of the yeast hair mask does not enhance its effectiveness - 40-60 minutes is enough.
Wash off these masks with warm water, depending on the composition - simply with water or, if required, with shampoo too.
A yeast mask is enough to be done once a week, if a more powerful and bright effect is desired twice a week, but care with yeast should not last more than 2 months. If you want to repeat, you need a break of 3-4 weeks.
