Home Recipes

1. Nourishing mask to restore dry and brittle hair

This recipe will have a powerful vitaminizing effect on your hair, revitalize it and give it softness.

• 3 tbsp. l. olive oil - it will provide deep hydration to the hair along the entire length;
• 2 tsp honey - a powerful natural nutritious product will make curls unusually soft and manageable when styling, and will also smooth out dry ends;
• 4 drops of orange oil.

Carefully stir in the olive oil and honey until smooth, then add the orange oil. Apply the mask to dry hair and distribute evenly throughout.

Put on a plastic cap and wrap your hair with a towel over it to create a thermal effect (this will make the mask more effective). After 1 hour, rinse your hair thoroughly (2-3 washes with regular shampoo).

Results: you will notice changes from the first time - your hair will be moisturized, manageable and shiny. To fully restore the hair structure, you will need a two-month course of masks with regular use once a week.

2. Mask and rinse for oily hair

Regular use of this recipe will allow the strands to stay fresh longer at the roots and along the entire length.

• 4 drops of orange ether.

For rinse aid:

• 1 liter of boiled water;
• 3 drops of orange oil.

Mix the base oil with the yolk and then add the essential oil; for a rinse aid - add oil to cooled water at room temperature.

The mask is applied to dry hair before washing and carefully distributed over the entire length. To improve the effect, it is recommended to create a “greenhouse effect” - wear a plastic cap and insulate your head with a terry towel on top. The mask lasts 45-60 minutes.

Next, rinse the mixture with water of moderate temperature (in hot water the yolk can curl right on the hair) with 2-3 washes regular shampoo. Complete the procedure with a rinse aid - rinse slowly and let the water drain on its own and gently wrap in a towel, avoiding sharp manipulations.

Results: a reduction in the abundance of dandruff is noted after the second procedure. For a lasting and pronounced effect, a course of massages is required regularly 2-3 times a week for 1 month.

Selecting quality oil and storing it

To ensure your hair gets the maximum benefit, you need to use high-quality orange oil. Take these recommendations into account, and you will not be mistaken in your choice!

• High-quality oil always has a bright and rich yellow-orange hue, but its color is almost transparent, not dense and not translucent.
• The consistency of the oil is viscous, but it should flow easily and evenly - this is a sign of compliance with the correct extraction technology.
• Give preference to trusted manufacturers of this oil: “HEVEA” (Spain), Natura Bisse (Spain), Now Foods (USA), Anubis (Spain), etc.
• A high-quality ether must leave behind a non-evaporating bright yellow trace. The caustic pigment of the peel enters the oil in large quantities during extraction, so the trace in this case is a sign of undilutedness.
• Store the bottle of product in a place protected from sunlight at room temperature.

Budget, versatility and a pronounced positive effect on mood and well-being are the strengths of orange. The hair is not just moisturized (any oil could have such a cosmetic effect), but actually becomes nourished and gains strength.
