We will tell you how to do hair lamination at home with coconut milk. This exotic nut milk is a great alternative to gelatin (this method was described here), and even surpasses it in its useful properties. However, if you are allergic to this product, then laminating your hair with it will not work for you.
What to prepare
To prepare such a laminating agent, no special work and effort is needed. You just need to prepare in advance:
- coconut milk - 150-175 ml;
- lemon or lime - 1/2 part;
- olive oil - 15 ml;
- potato starch - 3-5 g.
Cooking process
When all the necessary ingredients have been prepared, you can proceed directly to the process of preparing a laminating hair mask. It implies the implementation of such an algorithm of actions:
- Squeeze as much juice as possible from the lemon or lime into a prepared ceramic or plastic (but not steel) bowl. Stir in the starch little by little, stirring the mass until smooth. You should try to do so that even the smallest lumps are not in the gruel, otherwise the effect of the procedure will be much worse.
- Pour coconut milk into a separate container and mix it with olive oil. Stir the mixture and add the lemon-starch mass to it. To obtain a laminating mask, put the saucepan over low heat so that the mixture warms up a little. In this case, it should be constantly stirred with a spoon so that lumps do not form.
The mixture should harden a little, forming a small, jelly-like ball. As soon as this happens, the container should be removed from the heat and transferred to another container.
Lamination of hair
After all the necessary preparations, you can proceed directly to the hair lamination procedure. To do this, the following steps should be taken:
- Wash your hair thoroughly, blot it with a clean soft cloth or towel, after which you can apply coconut laminate to the strands. Based on the fact that the mask has a rather dense and thick consistency, you cannot do it with one comb - you will have to make a lot of effort to rub it into your hair with your fingers.
- Put a shower cap on your head, which should be wrapped in a warm towel on top. Wait an hour and a half until the mask is absorbed into the strands.
- After the end of the procedure, the laminating mixture must be washed off with a shampoo without fragrances and dyes. This way, it will be possible to remove the remaining olive oil from the hair surface.
Immediately after the strands are dry, an amazing result can be observed: the strands will become silky, soft and scented. The coconut aroma will be especially pleasant for girls who love this exotic nut.
For curly-haired girls, it will be a pleasant surprise that their curls, which they have always tried so hard to straighten, will become absolutely straight without using the usual iron.
It's important to know
If your hair is too thick or "heavy", then you should not add to the mask mixture olive oil... The same goes for the situation with bold type of strands... This component can lead to very unpleasant consequences: the formation of bald spots, or even greater stimulation of the production of subcutaneous fat by the sebaceous glands of the head.
