The main function of the shampoo is a thorough cleansing of the curls and scalp, while the rinse is necessary to give elasticity, facilitate combing and fix the action of the shampoo.

Modern manufacturers of professional cosmetics are developing lines of products that purposefully eliminate certain shortcomings. First of all, they are focused on the type of hair:

2.Now I want to show you my favorite hair mask.
Estel Curex Therapy - Intensive mask for damaged hair


I met this mask in the summer of 2013, since then we have developed a strong friendship, which gradually turned into love. The mask instantly transforms my hair, the hair becomes dense and nourished, hair to hair lies. I don't need anything else to be happy.
This tool is considered a professional tool.
The mask comes in a volume of 500 ml, usually it lasts me for half a year (hair length and density makes itself felt). The aroma of the mask is very pleasant, salon

The mask itself is thick, almost like plasticine, it spreads easily through the hair, due to the silicones in the composition, which glide smoothly, enveloping each hair.
The instructions say that the mask should be applied for 5-10 minutes, but I apply it for 40 minutes, on hair previously wrung out with a towel. That's when I see the maximum result from her. Hair is like silk.
The price for this is just a penny, only 300 rubles.

3. The third point I would like to tell you about the well-known and beloved mask from Brelil Numero "With oat extract"


The mask comes in a volume of 1000 ml.
The manufacturer claims that the mask has an intense nourishing and regenerating effect.
In this, the manufacturer did not cheat at all, the mask really nourishes the hair perfectly, after using it, the hair becomes soft, nourished, elastic.
But on thin hair, there may be an effect of "icicles", you need to be careful with this.
The aroma is insanely pleasant, sweetish, very rich, tends to stay on the hair for 2 days after washing.
The price of this product is about 1000 rubles, I think the price is more than justified, I am ready to pay for such a large volume and excellent action.
The mask itself is a medium-thick cream, yellow in color.


How do I use it?
My head, then I wring out the hair, this is a must, so the product will work better.
I apply the mask to the entire length, retreating from the roots by 10 cm. I leave it for a couple of minutes and wash it off. This is a sos-mask that can turn hair into silk in a short time.
This is what my hair looks like after using this mask:

4. My fourth favorite, I would call HELSO brand keratin


Keratin itself is a liquid in consistency similar to water, with a cloudy tint.
In its pure form, I do not use it, and it is impossible.
Let's see why it is so necessary for my hair?


Keratin fills the voids in the hair cuticle, thereby reducing cross-section and fragility.
How do I use it?
I make a moisturizing spray:
for 50 ml of water, I do 2 pumps, after which I shake everything well, and spray it on my hair every day.
It is better not to do more concentration, the hair will instantly become sticky, as if you poured sugar on them.
I also use keratin to enrich masks, but I’ll just say right away that it doesn’t work with natural masks, it’s in those that contain oils, when mixed with such masks, it becomes cheesy, and the mask breaks up into incomprehensible flakes.
For me, the perfect combination is the Estel mask in a dark green jar, which I talked about in the second paragraph.
I usually mix at one time, since keratin is natural, and it is better to store it in the refrigerator.
I usually mix in the lid from under the mask. I take about a tablespoon of the mask (for my length), make 1 press with a pump, and mix everything thoroughly, the mask begins to change the consistency to a more airy one.
I apply to washed hair, after squeezing it out with a towel, without affecting the hair roots, ideally retreating 10-15 cm, paying special attention to the tips.
I leave the mask for 40-120 minutes, the more the better, and it will be good if you warm your hair with a hairdryer.
So that it doesn’t drip from the hair (it’s better to wring it out, but carefully, without injuring wet hair), and then put a towel on your shoulders, you don’t need to wrap your hair, you can just fix it with an elastic band.
After you wash off the mask, you simply will not recognize your hair, it will be like silk.
And yes, this tool has a cumulative result, the more you use it, the better your hair becomes.
There is such a charm in the areas of 1000 rubles, look in the joint venture.
Of the minuses, only that the product is natural and it needs to be stored only in the refrigerator, and only a year.
Volume 250 ml, just enough for a goal.
This is what my hair looks like immediately after using the mask from Estelle + keratin

In appearance they are always the same, but to the touch there is a huge difference.
5. Well, the final remedy, from which I was delighted, is oil from Kerastase Multifunctional Elixir Ultime


I bought it for myself as a birthday present, it's expensive, but this tool just won me over.
Firstly, I would like to note its aroma, it is very pleasant, it smells like an expensive French perfume. After using it, your hair will be fragrant for another day.
Secondly, its nourishing properties, the oil nourishes and protects the length and ends of my hair so well that I have not cut the ends for the 4th month, and this is a long time for me.
I put it on the floor of wet hair, 2 clicks are enough for me, after washing my hair.
This is how the oil looks like, it is transparent, the consistency is thick.


The composition of the oil is good:

Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Zea Mays Corn Germ Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Camellia Kissi Seed Oil, Pentaclethra Macroloba Seed Oil, Linalool, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Limonene, Coumarine, Benzyl Alcohol, Parfum/Fragrance.

The price of oil is about 2000 rubles, for 125 ml, but the oil is worth every penny.
I'm just sure that I will buy myself another time as soon as I run out of it. Oil consumption is average, I really hope that it will last me a year.


This is what my hair ends look like now:


Well, as a bonus, I would like to talk about my favorite vitamins that help grow length.


These are Perfectil vitamins.
I buy them for the second time, I'm sure I will buy more, because I see results from them.


Vitamins cost around 500 rubles. They are 30 capsules that you need to drink for 30 days.
Vitamins can cause nausea, but I did not have such symptoms, which I am very glad about.
The composition of these vitamins is very rich.

This is one of the few vitamins that I actually see results from.
But do not forget that vitamins are not sweets for you, and in order to drink them, it would be best if you first consult with your doctor!
Thank you all for your attention, I hope my post was useful and informative for you.
I was happy to share with you my must-haves

Write about your favorite tools, maybe I'll take a closer look at something.
All beautiful and healthy hair!
Sincerely, Masha

Treatment and recovery is not so fast, and with significant costs. Therefore, it is better to listen to the advice and recommendations of stylists on choosing caring cosmetics for hair.

Basic hair care products

Prolonged use of the same shampoo eventually ceases to have an effective effect on the structure, so experts recommend purchasing 2-3 products of different composition and alternating them every 3 weeks.

The ecological background, malnutrition, stress affect the condition of the hairline. Therefore, the strands require reverent handling during cleansing. Special detergents are used to wash away dust and dirt from being outdoors and secretions.

Shampoo should be in everyone's arsenal. The high-quality composition allows you to perform a gentle cleaning of the hairline and scalp. When choosing, you should consider the type of hair and purpose. It is important to use high-quality products correctly, then you can achieve the desired effect.

Air conditioner designed to protect the hair from damage. While rinsing the head with the product, the scales close, as a result of which the hairs become elastic. Combing processed strands is easier. The composition may include useful components, but their number is small. Therefore, air conditioners are not suitable for restoration.

Balm performs the function of moisturizing, nourishing and restoring damaged areas of the structure. In addition to the hair, the skin of the head is also taken care of. The therapeutic effect is provided due to the composition rich in vitamins and useful microelements. Penetrating deep, the active components begin to act on biochemical processes and the cellular level. Already after the first application, the condition of the hair is noticeably improved. Shine, silkiness, softness appear. It is important to maintain time for the effective work of the ingredients. Detailed information about the rules of use is given on the packaging of each product.

masks have a magical effect on the hair structure, follicles, skin and sebaceous glands. The compositions are developed mainly on natural substances of plant origin. Often supplemented with no less healing oils that provide moisture, nutrition and protection to the strands.

It is also reasonable to supplement the home arsenal of cosmetics with a moisturizing spray, oils, and thermal protection.

What criteria to choose for your hair type

You need to purchase cosmetics on official websites or in specialized stores. So getting a fake chances are significantly reduced.

Among the basic rules for choosing care products is the study of the composition. Unscrupulous manufacturers can use harmful substances as components, which, if used systematically, can harm the hair and skin.

Whenever a remedy is purchased for the first time, it is necessary to test for an allergic reaction.

When studying the composition, attention should be paid to the sequence of the listed components. The closer to the top of the list is the name, the greater the proportional proportion of this substance in the total amount of funds.

Ideally, there should be no harmful substances among the components, such as:

• parabens;
• sodium lauryl sulfate;
• silicone;
• ammonium laureth sulfate.

These substances are recognized as carcinogens that cause irreparable harm to health.

Preference should be given to the means in the production of which were used:

• vegetable and;
• plant extracts;
• keratin;
• proteins;
• lecithins;
• fruit wax, etc.

It is worth buying caring cosmetics taking into account the type of hair. Manufacturers indicate on the packaging information about the purpose of the product. It is not necessary to choose according to the principle “what came to hand first”. Due to improper use of shampoo or balm, the consequences can be the most negative.
