However, we must not forget to take care and protect, in addition to our skin, also our hair, to defend it from the stress and dryness caused by the sun and salt, keeping it nourished, soft and shiny.
In fact, as we now know, hair is very sensitive to the effects of weather conditions, especially sun, wind and salt, but intervening quickly with home remedies and some targeted recipes is a very economical and effective pampering which, if done constantly, it will give us great satisfaction.
A nourishing flaxseed mask is a cure that should never be missing in our beauty routine, if done regularly we will have soft, silky and nourished hair!
Preparation
Mix glycerin and xanthan gum separately to form a paste. Heat shea butter, the self-emulsifier, the vegetable ester, cetearyl alcohol, caprylic capric triglycerides, and process water in a double boiler until it reaches a temperature of about 70/75 degrees or until all the ingredients are melted. Let it cool to about 40 degrees. At this point, add panthenol, flaxseed oil, nettle extract, tetrasodium etidronate, Nobact preservative, anti-mold, ylang-ylang essential oil, and mix everything until homogenized. Finally, measure the pH with litmus paper. Add lactic acid until it reaches pH 5.
How to use
This flaxseed mask is excellent for nourishing dry and brittle hair from the sun and salt, to remove frizz and make it shiny and silky. Immediately after the treatment it is advisable to dry the hair naturally, without using straighteners since, reaching a very high temperature, we risk burning the hair, nullifying any positive effect of the treatment.
