Masks with oils for hair damaged by the iron

Among the natural masks for hair damaged by the iron are all those that you can do at home and that use an oil base? Actually, they are very effective because natural oils have many moisturizing and nourishing properties that allow hair to recover in a short time. The options of masks with oils for hair damaged by the iron are diverse:

• Avocado oil: This mask is based on avocado oil, which is one of the most nutritious. The elaboration consists of mixing it with a little aloe vera and with vegetable glycerin. The preparation is very easy because you only have to stir the three ingredients in a container until you create a homogeneous dough with a texture like that of a commercial mask. The amounts will be lower or higher depending on the length of the hair.
• Almond oil: This product is the basis of this other mask, which is characterized by nourishing, strengthening and repairing the hair. This ingredient has to be mixed with a little honey a nd an egg yolk. For a smooth texture, you may need to use a mixer.
• Mosqueta oil: This oil, very nutritious and restorative, is another good alternative you have to make a natural mask for hair damaged by the iron. On this occasion, you can mix the rose hip oil as in the previous one, with honey and egg yolk.
• Castor oil: This oil is rich in nutrients and fatty acids, which benefits damaged hair. To apply it to the hair, a good option is to mix it with another oil and, in this case, it is better to use soy. In case you do not know it, it is a vegetable oil that is extracted from soybeans or soybeans, which are rich in vitamin E. You just have to mix it and apply it to your hair. In addition to repairing it, you will notice that it is softer and that it is also recovering shine.

All these masks apply the same. The product is spread on the hair, covered with a towel and left to act for about 30 minutes. Then you have to rinse the hair well so that there is no trace and wash it as usual. If possible, do not use an iron or dryer. At first, it is recommended that you blow dry your hair outdoors. If it”s not possible, just remove the moisture and let it finish drying on its own.

Olive oil masks for damaged hair

Although olive oil is an oil that we could have mentioned in the previous section, it deserves a special section due to the great variety of masks that can be prepared with it. In addition, it is one of the best oils that can be used for hair and without fear of oiling it. And is that its high content of vitamin E makes dryness disappear quickly by providing great hydration and nourishing in depth.

The fastest way to make this mask with olive oil for damaged hair is to mix a few tablespoons with egg yolks. However, there are still other alternatives in which it is combined with mayonnaise, which is especially recommended when the hair is very dry.

The recovery of damaged hair is also accelerated with a mask of olive oil and rosemary oil, which is characterized by its hydrating power. And it is that to the properties of olive oil to repair and nourish hair, rosemary antioxidants are also added. And how is it done? In this case, you should heat the olive oil a little and add a few drops of rosemary essential oil. When it”s cold, apply it to your hair like a regular mask.

To these proposals, you can add the mask oils that we have discussed in the previous section or natural ingredients that we will explain below.

There are fruits that are rich in vitamin E, apart from providing a large amount of antioxidants to the body. They are benefits that you can apply to the hair. Among the most recommended is the banana, as well as the avocado and the melon. But, to get a texture to apply to the hair, you will need to mix them all and add a natural yogurt.
