To make the use of kefir for hair growth as effective as possible, you need to figure out what it is, how it works, and in combination with what products it will become more useful.

What is useful

Due to its rich chemical composition, kefir makes it possible to use it externally, for cosmetic purposes - in the form of face and hair masks. Such masks are used for almost any problem with hair (section, loss, slow growth, oily hair) or scalp (dryness, dandruff).

Interesting fact. The tradition of kefir masks appeared in the 19th century. Women have noticed that their hair becomes thicker and shinier, falls out less, and hair growth is accelerated.

Each trace element that is part of kefir copes with a specific problem:

organic acids- eliminate fat content;
riboflavin- forms a protective film against aggressive environment;
nicotinic acid, vitamins PP, B3- accelerate growth;
AT 12- enhances root blood circulation and prevents excessive prolapse;
B vitamins- get rid of dandruff;
potassium and other minerals- moisturize and nourish, prevent cross-section;
iodine- Strengthens hair follicles.

Terms of use

To get the desired effect, it is important to properly prepare the composition of the mask. To do this, follow a few rules:

Before use, kefir must be warmed to room temperature and shaken.
Choose the fat content of kefir depending on the degree of oiliness of your hair. For oily hair, use kefir with a lower percentage of fat, and vice versa, for dry hair - more oily.
For the preparation of masks, you can use expired kefir.
After preparing the mask, you need to check this mixture for allergenicity. Apply to a small area of skin at the base of the neck. In case of redness, swelling or itching, do not use this mask.
Keep the kefir mask on your hair for an average of 30 to 50 minutes (just before washing your hair).
To enhance the effect, you need to wrap your head with a warm cloth.
Repeat the course of procedures 7-8 times, with a frequency of once every 5-6 days.

Mask Recipes

To enhance hair growth, sometimes one kefir is used, rubbing it into the hair roots and distributing it along the entire length, but it is more effective to combine kefir with other products. Here are the recipes for the most popular masks, with proven effectiveness:

From kefir, honey and yeast

Can be used for any type of hair. Honey nourishes the scalp, yeast enhances the effect of hair growth, which is given by the vitamins contained in kefir.

1 glass of warm kefir;
1 teaspoon honey;
20 grams of dry yeast.

Add a spoonful of liquid honey to a glass of preheated kefir and mix thoroughly, then add dry yeast to the mixture and let it brew for up to 20 minutes. The mask must be rubbed into the scalp, wrap the head with a warm cloth and hold for 30-40 minutes. Wash off with warm water and shampoo.

From kefir and eggs

Can be used for any type of hair. The egg enhances the effect of the components of kefir, supplying the hair with protein and restoring their structure.

0.5 cups of kefir;
1 egg.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly, distribute over the entire length of the hair and rub into the roots. Massage the head for about 3 minutes, then wrap the head with a warm cloth and hold for up to 30 minutes. Rinse with warm water and shampoo to prevent the protein from curling up on the hair.

From kefir with soda

Use for normal hair, avoid dry hair. Soda helps the substances contained in kefir to increase blood flow to the scalp, enhance hair growth.

1 glass of warm kefir;
10 tablespoons of baking soda;
1 spoon of table salt.

Mix the ingredients until a porridge-like mass is obtained, which we distribute along the length of the hair. Keep the mask for 40 minutes and then rinse with running water and shampoo.

Question: what kind of kefir hair mask for lightening hair fit best?

Any except for the mask with cocoa.

How to apply kefir masks?

We apply kefir to the hair in 2 stages: 1 roots and 2 ends.

Kefir temperature from 30 - 37 or at room temperature, so as not to catch a cold head.

Apply to clean or dirty, there are 2 recommendations.

Proponents of wearing masks on your hair for a long time say that it is better to wash them, so dirt, dust and other harmful substances will not be absorbed into your skin along with the mask. And rinsing with shampoo negates the entire effect of the mask.

Long-haired lovers do not complicate life, they believe that everything will be fine anyway. And washing your hair twice a day is also not very useful.

Choose the option that suits you.

When the hair is saturated with the mask, wring it out lightly to get rid of excess liquid.
For long ones, it is recommended to wrap a bun or a shell.
Then wrap cling film more tightly around the back of the head so that the cap is held and does not fall.
From above we warm with a towel for 1 hour or less, but longer is better for contact of the mask and hair.

Rinse off after application to dirty hair

We wash off with shampoo, if the hair has not been washed beforehand, if desired, use balms, rinses or an infusion of herbs or with vinegar, lemon juice.

Rinse off clean hair

For better rinsability, drip the juice of half a lemon into water or 1 tsp. vinegar for 3-5 liters of water. Herbal decoctions are also suitable.

What is important to remember about the preparation of masks?

Vegetable oils lose their beneficial properties when heated, therefore it is logical to put them last if the mask will be amenable to heat treatment.
Poorly tolerates "heat" kefir and egg, they will curl up or weld. Therefore, heat in a water bath, if necessary, gradually, without abrupt transitions to boiling.
Some the ingredients of the masks do not tolerate long-term contact: with light, air, iron objects.

For example, vitamins.
Therefore, reading mask recipes pay attention to temperature, duration of storage and compatibility of components, how to stir it and in what dishes.
Give up the idea of pouring all the vitamins or oils into the mask at once for best effect, it can be reversed.

Let's look at the composition options and ingredients of kefir or yogurt hair masks.
