Sometimes for preventive purposes it is better to resort to folk remedies. Some mask recipes have the effect of lamination and are capable of making your curls shiny and strong again, no worse than expensive professional analogues. For a long period of time, everyone knows the recipe for a homemade gelatin based remedy.

However, in this article we describe masks without using it. They can also cope with their task no worse than gelatin or a professional cosmetic product.

This version of a laminating agent is best used by those who have fairly dry hair in their structure. It is coconut milk that, thanks to its rich composition of nutrients, helps strengthen and smooth the hair structure. In particular, this process is carried out due to the high percentage of lauric acid.

The preparation method consists of the following steps.

1. It is necessary to mix 100 ml of coconut milk and 4 tsp. olive oil. The milk-butter mixture is put on a slow fire.
2. Squeeze juice from one lemon and dilute starch with it (3 tbsp. L.). The resulting mixture is added to the one that is already on low heat.
3. The composition must be constantly stirred until the solution thickens.

For proper use of the mask, follow these guidelines:

1. the resulting composition should be applied with a uniform thin layer along the entire length of clean and pre-dried hair;
2. it is necessary to put on a warm cap for 60-90 minutes;
3. after that, the mask is washed off either simply with warm water, or using shampoo.

In combination, these two components of the mask can work wonders with your strands and make them unusually beautiful and strong. One of the main features of this recipe is that this composition can be applied even to the roots of the hair.

To prepare such a mask, you will need to mix one chicken egg with 3 tbsp. l mayonnaise, 5 tbsp. l kefir and 1 tbsp. l castor oil. The resulting mixture should be infused for 10-15 minutes. After that, the mask will be completely ready for use.

The composition is used as follows.

1. The resulting mixture should be applied evenly over the entire length of the hair, including the roots.
2. Next, the treated strands are covered with a plastic bag and a towel (the cap is removed after one hour).
3. The mask is washed off under the pressure of warm water. Do not use shampoos or other hair care products.

This recipe for a home mask with a lamination effect is popular among many cosmetologists. Flax seeds contain many vitamins and acids that are beneficial for hair, which help smooth and nourish strands. To prepare a mask based on flaxseeds, you need to pour 4 tsp. seed 200 ml of boiling water and let them brew for 30 minutes. Next is added 1 tsp. burdock oil. The resulting solution should be mixed well.

Before using the composition, wash your hair. Then the composition is applied in stages (separately for each strand). If desired, you can apply a mask to the roots of the hair. After this procedure, you should insulate your hair for 1.5-2 hours. The mask is washed off without shampoo, only with warm water.

The duration and strength of the effect itself will depend on the choice of lamination products and hair care products after this procedure. Professional stylists suggest focusing on some criteria during the selection of funds for lamination and the subsequent care of their curls.

First of all, it is worth considering the fact that any cosmetic product is intended for a certain type of hair (dry, brittle, colored, and so on).

In order not to accidentally purchase a fake product, because of which problems may occur after the lamination of the strands, purchases should be made only in specialized stores or ordered drugs on the manufacturer's website. The most famous manufacturers with a good name are companies from the USA, Japan and Germany.

Do not neglect the study of the composition of all the drugs that you are going to use. Look for sulfates in shampoos and other curl care products. They contribute to the destruction of the protective film.

A high-quality laminating agent contributes to the maximum possible protection effect. On average, the result after one session can stay on the hair from 3 to 6 weeks.

The quality of lamination will directly depend on the density of the product, since a thicker liquid will allow each hair to be properly treated and a stronger protective film can be created compared to a liquid product. Also, the cost-effectiveness of the product will depend on this factor, which also plays an important role, for example, if you have long hair.
