Homemade hair masks based on olive oil. Choosing the best masks

Masks with olive oil will be useful for all hair types. If your hair is damaged, dry and brittle, masks based on olive oil will help restore the structure of each hair and prevent split ends. With normal hair type, olive oil will help prevent many hair problems (prevent moisture loss in the hair, protect against dryness, especially if you use styling products and appliances). If the hair is prone to oily, olive oil can also be used, but add ingredients to the masks that dry out the scalp: mustard, capsicum tincture, ginger, colorless henna, cognac.

Masks based on oils need to be insulated: with plastic wrap or a shower cap and put on a towel or a warm hat on top.
the frequency of such masks is 1-2 times a week, after a month of use, it is advisable to take a break.
