The use of sea and salt for hair: how to rub, with what to mix and when to wait for the transformation

Salt seawater negatively affects the hair and causes harm. Salt solution drains them, turning into an unruly “washcloth”. This is warned by hairdressers. After a vacation on the sea coast, the hair looks not the best way: the hair is split, broken, lose shine.

No matter how paradoxical this may sound: the effect of the purchase of sea salt is the opposite. This is confirmed by reviews of lovers of home cosmetology and trichologists. What is the secret? At sea, hair is exposed not only to salt water, but also to the sun. Under the sun, sea salt eats into wet hair. Because of this, they lose elasticity and smoothness. At home, you can squeeze the maximum benefit out of sea salt. But there is something to “squeeze” - salt is rich in microelements, without which health and beauty of hair are impossible.

What are the benefits

Sea salt is a miracle cure for hair treatment and care. It helps to solve many problems with the scalp, helps strengthen hair, gives curls beauty and health. The use of salt in home care guarantees stunning results.

• Cleansing the dermis. Salt consists of abrasive particles and is an excellent sorbent. It cleanses the scalp well. Salt will help get rid of dandruff, keratinized particles of the epidermis, and residues of cosmetics. Clean skin begins to “breathe” more actively, which contributes to the transformation of curls: they shine, look alive.
• Antiseptic effect. Sea salt is a natural antiseptic. It contains iodine and chlorine, which disinfect, fight against fungus, and kill bacteria. If boils appear on the scalp, it is affected psoriasisthen salt will easily help solve these problems.
• Normalization of the sebaceous glands. Oily hair is a lot of trouble: washed in the morning, by the evening they already look untidy. Salt-based care products dry the skin, normalize the sebaceous glands. Hair will look clean longer, and not hang lifeless "icicles" after a couple of hours after washing.
• Growth acceleration. Salt grains irritate the scalp, “awaken” the bulbs. Under their influence, active cell regeneration takes place, blood flow accelerates, and nutrients enter the hair follicles. Due to this, hair growth is significantly accelerated.
• Prevention of prolapse. Trace elements in the composition of salt (strontium, magnesium, potassium) are responsible for strengthening the hair, and not only in length, but also in the bulbs. This reduces hair loss. Strength in curls appears due to improved blood circulation as a result of the abrasive action of salt. No wonder salt therapy is indicated for alopecia. Trichologists recommend making salt masks with a genetic predisposition to baldness during “seasonal” hair loss.
• Getting rid of brittleness. Salt can restore elasticity to strands. This is a real salvation for damaged curls. It helps to overcome brittleness. Salt contains "building material" - calcium. Fluorine and bromine restore elasticity, restore shine.
• Prevention of the appearance of gray hair. Salt stimulates the production of natural coloring pigment. Trace elements, stimulation of bulbs, improved blood flow - all this is necessary for the production of melanin in sufficient quantities. Salt can be used for the prevention of early gray hair, or used when the "silver" is already visible - to prevent the appearance of new white hairs.

Which salt is better

Instead of sea salt in home cosmetology, you can use the table. Sea salt has more beneficial substances - minerals, trace elements. After its application, the same “wow effect” appears: the hair is transformed. However, ordinary edible salt will also help improve the condition of curls. She has one big plus - she is always at hand, while the sea still needs to be bought at the pharmacy.

The use of salt for hair is an abrasive action: it scrub the skin, cleans the dermis from dead particles, awakens the bulbs. She will help in the fight against seborrhea and will solve the problem of excessive work of the sebaceous glands. You can use edible salt against hair loss as a remedy against gray hair and as a growth promoter. After scrubbing, blood flow improves. However, if hair loss has become a real problem, it is better to use sea salt. It has many useful trace elements and minerals (calcium, iron, potassium, selenium, zinc), which strengthen even excessively weakened bulbs and help fight hair fragility.

When the product does not fit

Salt hair treatment is not for everyone. Before using home-based salt products, consider contraindications. There are few of them.

• Damage to the dermis. If there are fresh wounds on the scalp, unhealed cuts and scratches, recent seams, then saline products should not be used. Otherwise, burning is provided.
• Split ends. Salt dries strands. Saline cleansing is not suitable for heavily split hair. So you can aggravate the situation.
• Too thin and brittle locks. Thanks to salt, the hair becomes strong, brittleness disappears. But if initially the strands are very depleted, too brittle, then you should not use salt scrubs - you can do harm. But with masks, everything is not so clear: if you approach the choice of components wisely, then the tool will be only useful.

Salt from hair loss and hair growth: 7 rules for use

For hand-made products, sea salt of fine or medium grinding is suitable. Too large particles will scratch the skin. In stores and pharmacies, multi-colored fragrant sea salt for the bathroom is sold. It certainly looks attractive and smells amazing, but to care for curls, choose a natural product without fragrances and dyes. “Additives” can be harmful.

Salt can be taken any. The only caveat - it should not be too shallow.Otherwise, it will simply “fly off” from the hair without fulfilling the function of cleaning the skin assigned to it. Whatever salt is used, remember the seven main rules.

1. Apply to wet hair. Wet the curls before applying the product, and pat them thoroughly. The hair should be slightly damp. Salt can damage dry locks, from wet - to drain along with water. Do not wash your hair before the procedure. A greasy film will protect the hairs, preventing the salt from drying out. But salt will clean the roots and scalp itself.
2. Protect the tips. Protect the ends of the hair. To do this, they just need to be greased with warm oil. Almond, castor, burdock oil and even simple oliveheated in a water bath.
3. Rub gently. Overdo it - scratch your head. Rub the salt with your fingertips. The massage lasts five minutes. You can not apply salt without additives to the strands: they will become stiff. Only skin and root zone.
4. Watch the time. Do not overexpose the cooked product on the head. From this, its effect will not intensify, only harm your hair. Scrubbing formulations hold no more than ten minutes, and they perform their main function at the time of rubbing. Hair mask with salt requires more time. Follow the recipe, but you can’t keep them for more than 30 minutes.
5. Listen to the sensations. If there is discomfort, itching, burning, the remedy does not suit you. Rinse it off and look for your perfect one.
6. Rinse off properly. After salt treatment, a full head wash is not required. Salt already cleanses the skin. Shampoo can be applied only to strands. To soothe the dermis after peeling, use herbal decoctions and infusions. Rinsing with water with lemon juice and vinegar is not recommended: additional “irritants” are useless.
7. Do not get carried away. You can’t use home-made salt-based products for hair treatment more than twice a week. For preventive purposes, once is enough. Excessive enthusiasm for salt formulations can lead to thinning of curls, cause peeling of the skin.

After the procedure, leave your hair to dry naturally. Refuse the hair dryer and even more ironing. This is the only way to see if there is an effect.

Deep cleansing

Regular peeling of the scalp with salt is a guarantee that hair will grow faster, less fat will be released, dandruff will disappear. Scrubbing helps remove dead skin particles, shampoo and styling residues that clog pores and prevent oxygen and nutrients from reaching the bulbs. Deep cleansing is possible only with the help of scrubs, ordinary washing will not save the situation.

Peeling is needed for the volume: pollution curls curls, do not allow them to rise, even if you use shampoo with a push-up effect. After applying the scrub, the volume remains up to five days. Head massage, which is accompanied by scrubbing, activates the flow of blood. So you can prevent the appearance of gray hair, stop hair loss.

Scrubs: classic and table with 4 variations

Hair salt scrub can be prepared by adding auxiliary to the main ingredient, or you can "do not bother." A classic of the genre is rubbing sea granules into the scalp. This will require 50 g of sea salt. It is important to rub salt into the hair - only in the root zone. Gently massage the roots and dermis for five minutes. After you can leave the granules for another five minutes. After time, rinse off.The application technique is the same for the classic monocomponent scrub, and for products with additional ingredients.

In order not to harm the curls, use only proven recipes. If the classic recipe is already fed up and you want successful cosmetic experiments, try the four variations presented in the table.

Masks: technique ...

If you want to overcome the fragility of strands, get rid of dandruff and excessive secretion of sebum - a salt hair mask is what you need. If you make masks regularly, then the hair will fall out less and grow faster, become silky and shiny. But in order to benefit, you need to know some nuances.

• Frequency. In pursuit of the result, it is important not to overdo it. The frequency of procedures depends on the type of curls. Owners of dry strands can apply to salt masks no more than once a week. Hand-made salt-based product can be applied to greasy hair twice a week: soon the sebaceous glands will return to normal, the hair will stay clean longer and the number of procedures can be reduced.
• Application Salt-based masks are preferably recommended for application to the root zone. If the composition contains oils or other nutrient components, then the mixture can be distributed in ringlets: they will not let the salt dry out the strands.
• Strengthening the action. The “greenhouse effect” will help strengthen the action of active components. After applying the composition, wrap the head with polyethylene and a towel. This is true for all salt masks.

... and recipes

It's simple, the ingredients that are in every home are ordinary salt and water. Of course, you can fantasize a little and take salt or salt with additives, in general, whoever likes it, but I use ordinary table salt for salt peeling, the effect is approximately the same. I want to say that after the first procedure of salt peeling for hair, a lot of hair left my head after washing my hair, it scared me a little and I called my girlfriend a hairdresser. She reassured me and said that in general this is normal and further the hair should not be strewed like that. And yes, she was right, after the next peeling procedure, there was much less hair in the bathroom. I did three procedures in a month, for me it turned out to be quite. My hair began to not oily so quickly, now I wash my head twice a week. She also noticed that her hair began to roll less.

The first time I did peeling with water. I added some water to the salt, stirred it, and with massage movements, gently rubbed it into my head, then washed it off with shampoo. I did not like the effect, the hair seemed a little dry, there was no feeling of an unrealistic purity of the crown either :) Therefore, I decided to read more that clever people write on this topic))) Well, of course, it’s possible to make such a scrub with my hair prone to dryness, but BEWARE! And replace the water with oil. I did with sea ​​buckthorn and almond. With almond I like more! I applied the scrub not only to the scalp, but also along the entire length of the hair. Only the tips did not touch. Salt scrub should be applied to wet hair. I do this peeling more than once every two weeks. What I noted for myself. I don’t know if it’s all about magical almond oil, which my hair really likes. Or the scrub really works. But I still felt the effect.
* Hair is softer.
* Shine is present.
* Such a scrub, slowly rinses off the remaining dark pigment of hair dye. And it turns out such a beautiful chocolate shade, which I really like.

After relaxing at the sea, I noticed what gorgeous hair became. In two weeks they grew by 5 centimeters! Well, I’m so smart, I decided that I would now brush my hair with salt at home before each wash, there’s going to be hair! Rubbed with salt and walked like this for about an hour, so that it was better absorbed and disperse the blood circulation. So I tormented myself for a month, until I noticed that from such procedures, my hair became dry and climbed.Now for the second month now, as I try to restore the previous state (which was before salting procedures), but - to no avail!

MURLIKA, http://club.passion.ru/volosy/sol-dlya-volos-t39363.html

I tried to rub salt and sea salt (for baths). So the latter turned out to be better. I have dandruff, from the sea after washing my head did not itch for a long time. There was a feeling of density, and just comfort. And yes, hair growth is better.
