How to properly prepare burdock hair masks
When used correctly, masks with burdock will make your curls healthy and beautiful. To make the result more effective, you need to follow simple recommendations:
- It is not necessary to wash your hair before applying the mixed composition; the product works equally well on wet and dry strands. After applying the mask, the entire mass of hair is collected and covered with polyethylene, and a thick towel is wrapped over it for insulation.
- The duration of the mask should not be less than an hour. You can even leave night mask. Wash off the product very thoroughly using shampoo. In most cases, washing alone is not enough. To completely remove traces of burdock oil from your curls, you will need to wash them twice, or even three times.
- To get a good effect from burdock masks, they must be done twice a week. Then it will be possible to fully evaluate the result of the care in a couple of months. If there is a pronounced problem, then care must be repeated every other day for a month and a half. After this, you need to interrupt treatment for two months.
The use of burdock for care has no contraindications, except in cases of individual intolerance. To check this, you need to apply a drop of the product to the crook of your elbow and observe the reaction. If after 24 hours there are no signs of allergy, then you can safely use the mask.
