Features

- As an ingredient for wellness use only mustard powder, but not ready to eat mustard. The culinary product contains flavor components that have no value for cosmetic purposes.
- As a treatment for hair, mustard is needed for the intensive release of the scalp and hair from excess fat. This should be kept in mind for women with dry hair type. In order to reduce the aggressive impact on such hair of the main ingredient, it is better for them to add components such as oils, cream, kefir, mayonnaise to the therapeutic composition. This mixture is best not to distribute all hair - it is enough to process only the root area.
- This is the case when it's important not to overdo it, because mustard can cause skin burns, so 15 minutes is enough for such a mask. But this does not mean that you need to endure these 15 minutes - perhaps someone will have an intolerable burning sensation after five minutes, and this will be a signal that the mask should immediately be washed off.
You should only tolerate a pleasant, weak burning sensation - this is in fact the mechanism by which the effect of this procedure is obtained. But if on the skin of the head there is even minimal damage, then give up the mustard mask until it is completely healed.
- Should be considered and possibility of individual intolerance mustard. If your burning sensation has started too early, try making a mask with a lower content of mustard in it, and if the effect is the same, then it is better to choose therapeutic hair masks with other ingredients, but not with mustard.
- Mustard powder should get divorced only with warm water (not higher than 45C). If the water is too hot, the process of extracting essential oils from the powder will begin, and this may cause harm to the body.

Trying to put a mustard mask on for the first time, first test yourself for an allergic reaction of the body. This is done, as usual - by applying the composition on the wrist or on the bend of the elbow. If after five minutes there is no particular burning sensation, then you can use mustard powder as one of the ingredients to repair the damaged curls.

Reviews
According to numerous user reviews, the mustard powder is deservedly called an effective cosmetic. This is a super tool for the care of hair and for its growth.
Prepare any mask with mustard - easy as they are, there are many options, so you can choose the composition to solve any problem. Although there are reviews of a different nature - women, once having tried a remedy that they were recommended by satisfied friends, later flatly refuse from these procedures.
The most common recipe, about which the most positive reviews - the simplest, consisting of powder and water. It helps a lot after the 10th or 15th procedure to enjoy the result: hair loss stops and they grow much faster (the last moment is the most important for most women).
If you understand the mechanism of action on the hair of this product, then everything turns out to be extremely simple - the skin warms up, you feel a pleasant, then intense burning sensation. At this time there is an activation of the blood supply process of the hair follicles, they begin to function actively, which is why the recovery process starts.
Although there are ladies to whom such masks are not suitable - and the burning is intolerable, and allergic reactions are right there.
The mustard powder in the composition of the healing mask is unique in that it helps the hair bulb to “shake up” from sleep, begin to stay awake and function as it should be. Everything else ultimately depends on this - new hair grows, the core strengthens and hair loss stops.
In addition, the feeling of itching on the surface of the head disappears, oily skin becomes normal, sebaceous excretion is normalized, dandruff disappears - and all this is due to the qualities that mustard powder has.
Yet it also happens that the mustard mask is harmful. Such cases are extremely rare, but they occur. This happens when too gentle skin of the head, which very soon appear burns. It also happens if the hair type is very thin and brittle, and then the mustard mask will not heal them - they just fall out after such an aggressive effect for them. In such cases, other, more benign formulations are needed.
