Rules for applying natural oil masks:

  • Applying should be gentle, and oil - is slightly warm. Do not apply hot oil to the scalp as it can aggravate the hair problem. Pour the oil on your top, giving it the opportunity to trickle down the hair, reaching the scalp.
  • After the oil has reached the skin, start massaging the head clockwise, moving from the forehead to the back of the head and from ear to ear. Then, divide your hair into small strands, and pull them out, thereby increasing blood flow.
  • Comb your hair starting from the top and moving towards the tips. Cleaning hair, you dispense the remains of the oil along the entire length. Comb your hair from the forehead to the top of the ear, and from ear to ear. Do it until the hair does not become absolutely smooth, and you feel easy tingling on the scalp.
  • Keep the oil on your hair for about an hour. Let the head breathe. Ringing off the oil mask with natural sulfate-free shampoos.
