- 50 ml linseed oil (restructuring action)
- 25 ml jojoba oil (film-forming action, rich in vitamin E and unsaponifiables)
- 25 ml of argan oil (in addition to the properties we have mentioned, this oil is rapidly absorbed and allows us to "lighten" the formula)
- 3 g of vitamin E
- 2 ml * lavender essential oil (refreshing, trophic and stimulating action)
- 1 ml rosemary oil (antioxidant, tonic and anti-dandruff action)
- 1 ml juniper oil (restorative and stimulating action)
* 1 ml corresponds to about 10/20 drops depending on the pipette used
In case of stressed hair - dry, brittle, dull or very fragile - vegetable oils are real cure-all when used as a pre-shampoo pack (see in-depth information on organic linseed oil and how to make a mask), but they are still more effective if used in synergy with each other.
To create ypur customized hair mask, the ingredients must have four fundamental characteristics to make your hair shine again: 1. be rich in essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid or linoleic acid present in large quantities in linseed, argan and wheat germ oil for a nourishing and restructuring action; 2. be rich in vitamin E (tocopherol), without which essential fatty acids are rendered ineffective by free radicals. We can use pure Vitamin E or add vegetable oils rich in this precious substance. Examples are wheat germ, macadamia and olive oil; 3. have a high presence of unsaponifiables, that is, the fraction of oil that cannot be transformed into soap. The presence of this fraction is important because it allows a better penetration of the active ingredients. Oils with a high percentage of unsaponifiables are argan, jojoba, avocado and olive; 4. perform a film-forming action, that is, be sebum-like and therefore be able to place a micro film on the hair shaft. Jojoba oil, shea butter and macadamia oil perform this action.
Taking into consideration what has been said, we can finally formulate our recipe!
