With the onset of winter, a real hair disaster begins. Under the influence of low temperatures, constant chapping and frequent blow-drying, the strands become dry and brittle. Fortunately, there are many home remedies for dry curls that can help fight this problem effectively.

After all, a hat is a hat, but indoors - at work, a party, at a concert, and just for myself I want to stay at my best, regardless of the season.

What to do if the curls become dry and naughty?

Fortunately, homemade recipes are great for taking care of loose hair.

But it is worth remembering that one nourishing shampoo is not enough to restore the structure of the curls. You will need special and intensive care to restore the natural shine and health of your hair. Masks based on natural products, oils and herbs will be able to provide healing. In addition, they are not difficult to prepare at home. It will be both cheaper and more effective, since you will be sure of the naturalness of the composition of the prepared product. So, here are some effective ways to rehabilitate dry hair.

Oil based masks

# 1. The easiest and most unsophisticated way to restore dry curls at home is to use masks based on olive oil. To do this, you will need a few tablespoons of olive oil. You should not be sophisticated and acquire expensive things to heighten the effect - just read the composition and make sure that the product is as organic as possible. Place it in a saucepan or water bath and heat it up a little. Be careful not to overdo it with the warm-up! It heats up very quickly and it is very easy to get burned. Therefore, warm it up so that when you put your finger in it, you do not feel discomfort.

Rub it into the roots of the strands so that it stays on the scalp. Spread the rest over the entire length of the curls. After application, put polyethylene on your head, and a warm hat on top so that the product is absorbed under the influence of temperature. Wash off after an hour.

It should be noted that olive oil is a versatile remedy for dry and weakened curls. It can be added to almost any revitalizing and nourishing mask. Among other things, it also makes hair thick and smooth, so this remedy will help get rid of problems with combing.

No. 2. Another example of a nourishing mask for dry curls is sea buckthorn oil.

So take:

• 20 g sunflower oil;
• 5 g of sea buckthorn oil.

Mix them together and apply thoroughly to the scalp. As always, wrap and soak for about an hour. After that, wash off the product with a gentle shampoo.

No. 3. Another effective and nourishing mask for dry hair structure contains burdock oil in the base.

For cooking, take:

• a large spoonful of aloe, one pod will be enough;
• a large spoonful of burdock oil;
• a small spoonful of liquid natural honey. If the honey is hard, you can melt it in a water bath. But do not use a microwave oven - it will neutralize all the medicinal properties of this product;
• mix all the ingredients.

It is necessary to apply the product exclusively on the scalp and roots, and rinse off after an hour.

No. 4. The next recipe is a mask for very dry strands, the structure of which is quite difficult to restore. Therefore, the composition of such a product includes the most moisturizing and regenerating products. So, there are two options for the composition.

First option:

• 2 cloves of garlic, chopped in a meat grinder or garlic so that the vegetable starts up juice;
• fresh yolk - it is better if the eggs are homemade;
• 5 g of liquid honey;
• two large spoons of burdock oil;
• a large spoonful of mayonnaise.

Second option:

• 20 g burdock oil;
• 30 g arnica;
• two fresh yolks.

We mix the components, and apply first to the scalp, and then to the strands. Particular attention should be paid to the roots and tips. It is at the roots that the hair deteriorates, and the ends often split, so these areas require special attention. We wrap it up for half an hour and wash it off.

It is worth noting that the full restoration of dry strands is a matter of more than one occasion. To achieve a tangible effect, you need to perform up to 10 regular procedures.
