Sour cream masks for hair - recipes, reviews and results

A lot has already been said about the fact that sour cream helps hair. It contains vitamins, natural animal proteins, easily absorbed by the body as a whole and by the skin and strands separately, and organic acids. Adding something new to the description of the beneficial properties of sour cream is problematic. Is it possible to emphasize once again that a hair mask made from sour cream is an option to quickly save time and money, and it has no restrictions on its use: neither by the type of braids, nor by their problems.

Brightening mask

If you realize that your hair coloring did not go as you would like: it has become too dark or some unnatural black has appeared (perhaps even a purple or blue tint), look in the refrigerator - there is your salvation: a sour cream hair mask lightens your curls. All you need: heat a glass of sour cream (not on a fire or electric stove, but in a water bath, or simply by placing a container with a fermented milk product in hot water), grease the braids thoroughly, then hide them under a cap made of film and fabric for two hours, and then just wash off with shampoo. By the way, you can even wash off basma with henna this way.

And you can not only wash off the mistakenly obtained color, but make a hair mask with sour cream - dye, which will make blondes even more expressive, and bring light brown hair as close to the shade of blonde as possible.

Compound

ginger root - 3 tbsp. spoons;
orange zest (dried and crushed or crushed in a coffee grinder) - 3 tbsp. spoons;
boiling water - one and a half glasses (measure the volume with a faceted rather than a round container - it is larger);
sour cream – 250 g;
essential lemon oil – 10-12 drops.

Preparation

grate the ginger.
Pour boiling water over the zest and ginger puree, cover with a lid and wrap in a towel and let sit for twenty minutes.
Divide the infusion into two equal parts, strain one and set it aside, mix the second (not strained with the addition of the thick part after draining the liquid of the first) with sour cream and add the essential extract.

The benefits of sour cream for hair

The benefits of any natural product are due to its natural and rich composition:

Sour cream contains a large amount of minerals, vitamin complexes and natural acids, which determines its benefits for cosmetic purposes. B vitamins are very important for the scalp, which return the strands to a well-groomed and healthy appearance. They normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands and regulate metabolic processes occurring in the scalp.
Retinol or vitamins of group A, which are also found in sour cream, with the help of cosmetic masks can smooth out the scales and improve the structure of the hair. Accelerated regeneration of the hair follicle and shaft occurs. With the systematic use of such masks, the scalp very quickly acquires a well-groomed and healthy appearance, the problem of dryness is eliminated, and small cracks are healed.
Dairy products contain a complex of vitamins C, D, H, and E, which provide a protective function - curls are reliably protected from the negative effects of not only the external environment, but also the influence of free radicals directly on the structure of the central core.
Masks with sour cream for hair growth have an almost complete set of elements that are necessary for the regeneration of microelements. The most important ones are zinc, iron, and of course calcium. The value of these elements becomes noticeable only when there is an acute shortage of them, as the ends of the hair begin to dry out greatly. As a result, the strands become unkempt, break badly, growth slows down, and feel very rough to the touch. If you use hair masks with sour cream correctly and regularly, the strands are quickly restored, they become soft and silky.
The simplest sour cream can restore elasticity and strength to hair, as it contains iodine and potassium, including magnesium and such a rare substance as cobalt.
Hair masks containing sour cream return a healthy shine to the strands, the elasticity of the hair shaft increases, and the curls become perfectly smooth and soft. Hair growth is significantly accelerated, as the hair follicle is stimulated, dry scalp is eliminated, and the functioning of the sebaceous glands is normalized.

Anti-hair loss mask – with olive

If you are worried that the comb has become covered with too many hairs, don’t consider it a chore - count them (this is not funny or stupid, but it is necessary to understand whether the curls have problems or are they simply being renewed): the maximum standard number of “fallen hairs” is 100 hairs per day. Although, of course, this is already a frightening figure - on the verge of a foul between health and the impending “leaf fall”. It is better to gently turn any alarm bell into a melodic sound by using a sour cream mask at least once a week.

Compound

sour cream – 5 tbsp. spoon;
olive oil (transparent light green, cold pressed and without refining) – 4.5 tbsp. spoons.

Preparation

Heat oil and sour cream.
Mix the two bases and beat until small oxygen bubbles appear.

Application

thoroughly saturate the braids with the greasy mass;
massage the roots until you feel a slight warmth;
lift the soaked strands up and cover with cellophane, then (fixing it) wrap it in a very warm scarf or towel (if the strands are short, you can use a soft autumn knitted hat);
After an hour, rinse off (it would be good to use not just mild shampoo, but kefir or egg shampoo).

Sour cream hair masks recipes

Preparation procedure: mix the mask, lemon juice and wheat germ, leave on the hair for a quarter of an hour and rinse. After this, we dry our hair, comb it and wait until it is completely dry. This way you can achieve the maximum beneficial effect of the mask on your hair.

Mask recipe for oily hair

If your hair is too oily, it is not recommended to frequently make masks using sour cream. If we do apply the mask, then choose sour cream with extremely minimal fat content.

Preparation procedure: pour pre-heated calendula decoction into two tablespoons of sour cream and rub intensively into the hair roots. After 20 minutes, the mask can be washed off with running water.

Calendula has a wide range of effects on oily hair: from normalizing the functioning of the sebaceous glands, nutrition and restorative action to eliminating dandruff.

To summarize, it is worth noting that masks with sour cream are ideal for giving vitality to owners of dry, weakened and normal hair. Although owners of oily hair are not recommended to make such masks often, they can still be advised to strengthen their hair with low-fat sour cream, additionally diluted with water in equal proportions.

Regular use of cosmetic masks containing sour cream will help not only improve the quality of hair, but also significantly accelerate its growth, including regeneration. Today, a large number of a wide variety of cosmetic masks have been developed, but you need to choose them taking into account the type of hair and skin, as well as the existing problem. Most importantly, to achieve the desired result, such formulations must be used regularly.

Mask with sour cream and egg for hair growth

The speed of hair growth directly depends on the quality of nutrition at the roots of the hair follicles. The more often and more the roots are nourished, the faster the hair length increases. To increase the flow of nutrients to the hair roots, it is recommended to use the method of accelerating the blood of the scalp.

For this purpose, you need to use a warming sour cream mask for your hair. Such cosmetic procedures help to increase cell permeability, due to which natural microelements are absorbed much faster and the structure of the hair shaft and bulb is nourished.

sour cream - 1.5 tbsp. l.;
egg - 2 pcs.;
purified water - 1 tbsp. l.;
mustard powder - 0.5 tbsp. l.;
lemon - 0.5 pcs.

The mask is prepared as follows:

First, a porridge-like mixture is made from mustard powder - the powder is combined with water.
You need to use a convenient container and make sure that the composition has a uniform consistency. If necessary, you can add more water.
To give your strands extra shine, it is recommended to add apple cider vinegar (a few drops) or natural lemon juice.
The juice of half a lemon is added to the mustard mixture and the mixture is mixed well. When using lemon juice, you need to be sure that you are not allergic to it.
Sour cream is added to the mixture; it is advisable to use a homemade product. It is strictly forbidden to use store-bought sour cream with a minimum percentage of fat content, as there will be no benefit from it at all.
The resulting mask is applied to the roots of the hair (the strands should be washed and dried with a towel) and, using a comb, distributed over the entire length and rubbed into the scalp.
The hair is covered with plastic wrap and insulated with a terry towel.
Leave the mask on for 20–30 minutes; if a burning sensation or discomfort appears ahead of time, immediately wash off the composition.
The mask is washed off with warm water without shampoo, and a light chamomile tincture is used to rinse the hair.
It is recommended to do this procedure three times a month.

Mask with honey and sour cream for hair growth

If it is not possible to use masks that contain mustard or you are allergic to this component, you can use an alternative option - horseradish.

fat sour cream - 1.5 tbsp. l.;
liquid honey - 1 tsp;

In an era of poor ecology, our hair is constantly subject to intense pollution. This is most pronounced in urban environments where there is a lot of smoke and harmful chemicals.

Most women save time and use store-bought products to keep their hair in good shape.

However, many factory masks and balms contain a large percentage of chemicals, so the result is reduced to zero. Homemade recipes made from natural products come to the rescue.

As a brightening agent

Many representatives of the fair sex dream of becoming blondes. But what to do if your hair color is quite dark, and your hair is weakened. But exposure to chemicals will completely make them lifeless and cause hair loss. What natural remedies can help with this? Is it possible to lighten hair with sour cream?

It turns out that it is possible. Moreover, by regularly lightening your hair with sour cream, you can achieve lightening by 2 tones. The composition of the mixture, in addition to sour cream (200 ml), includes:

citrus zest;
3-5 drops of lemon juice;
ginger.

Ginger and citrus zest should be poured with boiling water and left to steep for a day. Add lemon juice and 1/2 ginger-citrus infusion to a bowl with sour cream. Mix the resulting mass well and apply to the scalp. To improve the effect, you need to wrap your head with film and a towel.

To do this, take 15 grams of sour cream and the same amount of honey. If it is liquid, you can add about half a teaspoon of rice or flour ground in a coffee grinder. Mix everything thoroughly with a silicone brush, spread on the skin of the neck, face and décolleté. Leave for fifteen minutes, then remove with a damp cloth and after 5 minutes wipe the skin with fresh cucumber juice or a slice of lightly salted cucumber. It is better to apply this product at night, when there is no allergy to honey.
