The benefits of petroleum jelly for hair

To care for strands, vaseline oil is most often used as part of home masks. With their help, you can give the curls shine, heal them and prevent the cross section of the ends:

• Liquid paraffin is useful on curls prone to dryness. It softens dry strands and envelops hairs for a healthy shine.

How to use petroleum jelly for hair

It is better not to use pure vaseline oil as a care agent. It is very difficult to wash off and gives the curls a dirty and messy look. By itself, petroleum jelly does not contain useful components.

On sale, petroleum jelly comes in the form of a cream or oil. As for the hair, it is preferable to use the oil version of the product.

It is necessary to lather the strands several times, using shampoo or laundry soap for this.

Best of all, petroleum jelly care is suitable for owners of dry curls with dandruff, which fall out profusely. To care for them, use masks with decoctions of medicinal herbs, with oatmeal, aspirin tablets and other components.
