Cornstarch mask to repair dry and brittle hair

It may happen, after dyeing your hair, that you decide to change the color and have to bleach it. A process that, although it allows us to apply the desired change, mistreats the hair and makes it dry and brittle.

If the hair loses its shine, becomes dull and rough to the touch, it is possible to prepare a very effective DIY mask to return it to its original appearance.

In this article, we explain how to repair damaged hair in 20 minutes with a cornstarch mask, which you can prepare at home with easily available and very cheap ingredients.

You need:

• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon almond oil
• 1 tbsp hair conditioner
• 1 tablespoon of honey
• 500 ml of water

Heat the water and, before reaching a boil, add the cornstarch and stir until it dissolves completely. Remove from the stove and filter through a sieve.

Pour into a mold and add the almond oil, balm, honey and mix well until you get a homogeneous mixture. Make sure there are no lumps.

Apply the cornstarch hair mask to damp hair, massaging lightly with your fingers. Cover with a hair cap and, after about 20 minutes, rinse with plenty of water and wash with a preferably neutral shampoo.

Apply the mask every three days for about a month. After this period of time, your hair will have returned to its original appearance.
