AT cosmetology Mustard powder in the form of a slurry is used instead of shampoo for hair, it reduces the oily hair at the roots, and also strengthens the hair due to the increased blood flow to the scalp. Eastern girls consider hair growth masks and cream with mustard literally rejuvenating, and rightly so, because mustard promotes renewal of skin cells, heals microcracks, eliminates fungal skin diseases. The skin after such procedures becomes light, smooth and rejuvenated.
There are a huge number of hair masks, some are suitable for someone else, but before you apply them on yourself it is necessary to become familiar with important information and rules.
The benefits and harm of mustard masks for hair growth
As mentioned earlier, caring masks, which contain mustard, can cure a dozen of trichological problems. However, along with the positive effect of the use of these masks, a completely opposite effect may occur. The latter arises only due to the human factor - with too frequent use, with non-compliance with the proportions of ingredients in masks, with improper application, etc.
Now consider the positive and negative aspects of the use of mustard masks.
So mustard mask:
- Helps accelerate the maturation of the hair in the hair follicles
- It helps to strengthen the hair follicles, and hence reduce hair loss.
- Disinfects the scalp.
- Eliminates dryness of hair, reduces the number of split ends.
- Provides a large rush of blood to the scalp, and thus increases the flow of nutrients to the hair follicles.
- Promotes saturation of the scalp cells with oxygen.
- Provides strengthening hair structure.
- Helps to restore hair shine, smoothes the surface of the hair.
But for the use of mustard masks there are a number of strict contraindications. If you do not follow the rules for applying such a mask, you can cause almost irreparable damage to the hair structure and appearance.
Use mustard care prohibited for pregnant and lactating women, with the formation of any damage to the skin, including eczema, as well as in the presence of an allergic reaction to mustard during the test before use.
The composition of mustard powder has a number of vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids, which adjust the functioning of hair follicles. Hypothetically mustard can not harm the hair. But all forget to mention the presence of allyl isothiocyanate in the composition of this most valuable seasoning.
Allyl isothiocyanate is an oily component of mustard powder, which causes intense irritation of the scalp. If you do not include emollients in the mask, then allyl isothiocyanate harms the skin cells. Especially harmful is allyl isothiocyanate for dry hair, as it draws moisture out of them.
If the scalp flakes off, the mustard mask is not recommended for use. Allyl isothiocyanate, when using a mask on the affected scalp, will further contribute to cell destruction, weakening of the hair root. What will happen to the hair in the future is not a mystery to anyone.
In the presence of diseases of the dermis (eczema, scratches), allylisothiocyanate will further destroy the lesion of the skin. As a result, an extensive burn may occur, or, even worse, inflammation and hair loss will increase.
In order not to overdry the hair roots, you need to apply any oil (olive, argan, burdock) on the roots themselves in order to retain moisture in them, which means they will protect against cutting.
To minimize the damage of mustard to the hair, you must follow all the requirements for the use of masks. No need to rely on other people's reviews, which say that you can use a mask without a preliminary test for the presence of an allergic reaction to mustard, you should always approach this individually: the first thing to do is test on the back of the forearm or on the crook of the elbow.
If during the application of the mask you feel an unbearable burning sensation, then you do not need to torture yourself and endure the pain, because it indicates the presence of a burn. It is necessary to immediately wash everything off with cool water several times. To avoid burns, you need to keep the concentration of sugar and mustard in the mask.
To retain moisture, not only in the hair roots, but also in the skin cells, you need to add some amount of any cosmetic oil.
It is advisable to visit the trichologist before starting the mustard mask course to make sure that the hair and scalp are completely healthy.

My recipe for a mustard mask.
This is a classic mask recipe, but I add my favorite hair growth oils - linseed and castor. Many add burdock oil. I do not like the purchase of burdock oil, due to the fact that its base is mineral oil, which clogs the scalp. But flax and castor - just right, besides, castor oil perfectly stimulates the growth of new hair.
So, we will need:
1. Mustard powder - 2 tbsp. I have mustard Gustav, but you can take any mustard. The main thing is not to take ready, namely powder.
2. Sugar sand - 2 tsp. Sugar is needed to ensure that mustard is better baked. The more sugar you put, the better and stronger the mustard will bake.
3. Chicken egg - 1 pc. Better, rustic. From it we take only the yolk. This is to nourish the scalp.
Everyone knows that mustard is very dry hair, so the first mask we apply only on the scalp, try not to fall on the length, otherwise the hair will be like straw. In order to protect the hair from accidental ingress of mustard, we apply a nourishing mask over the length.
I tried to put just flaxseed or olive oil, but I did not like it. The hair was still dry. Therefore, I made my own version of the mask, here is its (simplest) recipe, suddenly someone will like it:
- linseed oil,
- jojoba oil,
- Balsam Revivor.
Before applying the mask, it is better to wet the hair and squeeze well.
So, put a mask of balm on the length, then put a mustard mask on the scalp. Before applying the mask of mustard, it is better to mix well. Thoroughly coat each part. Then we remove the hair in a bun with a rubber band or crab, we put on a warm old hat or we wrap a towel over our head, in general we create heat and wait. I sit from 30 minutes to an hour.
There should not be any unpleasant sensations, on the contrary, I like such warmth and sintering on my head, especially now when it is cold outside.
If the mask does not bake.
If you do not bake, then either you put enough sugar, or you have a bad mustard. Buy another. I have always been exactly Gustav, from her normally bake.
How to wash off the mask?
Rinse with cool water, because warm water may seem like boiling water when flushing. Be careful! Do not get residues of the mask in the eyes or mucous membranes!
At first I wash off the mask for 5 minutes with plain water, tilting my head over the bath, and then I wash it twice with shampoo, the usual Clean Line. I always wash well, no problem.
Of course, I still apply the mask for the length after I wash my hair with shampoo, my mask is the cheapest, but very cool, called Silk.
How often do?
I made a mustard mask for a month, before each shampooing (once every three days). Now I will take a break for a month and again go through the course of this mask.
Results.
Firstly, the hair stopped falling out at all. In the summer they just fell in my head, then I tried nicotine for hair, it became better. And after the course of the mustard mask, they stopped falling out completely. Of course, when combing, I see hairs 5 on the comb, but this is nonsense!
Secondly, increased hair density. New hairs woke up, it is very noticeable on the forehead. around bangs. After the nicotine I had new hairs there, I thought that was all. But no, after the mustard is still added. Now I have quite a lot of new hairs and the hairstyle looks not in the best way, because, at the top of this hat, and closer to the ends and in length - quite thin, but nothing, I soon hope to cut off all burnt and dyed hair.
These are the results. Soon I will begin a new experiment - a pepper tin mask. I really want to grow my color by the summer and cut off the colored one. So do not get lost and subscribe to my reviews!

The effect of mustard on the hair. Benefit and harm
Let's see how some elements of mustard affect skin and hair.
- Vitamin A is a natural designer for damaged, fragile and thin hair. It has regenerative regenerative properties. Develops cells of collagen and elastin fiber, for the elasticity of the hair structure.
- B vitamin group - for hair moisturizers, they control the production of sebaceous glands. Regulate fat content and normalize the healthy, not greasy shine of the hair.

The main component for hair growth is mustard - allyl isothiocyanate (AITC). This chemical compound binds to the ion channel (TRPV1 and TRPA1) located on the plasma membrane of many human cells, such as keratinocytes and cells in hair follicles. This interaction creates the effect of heat and heat. The excitation of ion channels and lead to the expansion of blood vessels and an increase in blood flow to the skin. That is why mustard helps in improving hair growth.
The antimicrobial properties of mustard are struggling with three types of bacteria - Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium and Listeria.
The isothiocyanate has been tested against a variety of fungi, such as Penicillium roqueforti, Penicillium commune, Asprgillus flavus and Endomyces fibuligra. Mustard essential oil at a concentration of 1 μl, it turned out, has such a strong effect that it completely inhibits the growth of all microorganisms, at a temperature of 25 ° C.
Tips for making mustard hair masks
First of all, only dry mustard powder should be used to prepare a hair mask. It is on sale in any grocery store and even a drugstore. But it will be even more effective if you dare mustard seeds on your own, so that its useful qualities do not evaporate, as it happens when you buy powder, more utilities do not reach the composition of your mask.
In the mustard seeds, AITC is not produced until the seeds are destroyed and an enzyme is released that converts one compound to AITC. That is why poorly ground mustard with pieces or purchased powder is less effective than mustard powder obtained on its own.
There is one more thing that needs to be noted, why you can not use liquid or pasty mustard from the store. This product contains artificial additives. Among them, acetic acid, dyes, sweeteners, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, which only harms the hair. You can use only natural mustard powder and only fresh. Therefore, always pay attention to the shelf life of the mustard to make sure that you get the most useful product. High quality powder can guarantee positive results in the treatment of hair.
The temperature of the water you use will greatly affect the ability of the mustard to activate its heating enzymes. Too hot water deactivates mustard enzymes. Cold water keeps the mustard enzyme structure intact. Therefore, to preserve useful properties, dilute the mustard powder with warm water (temperature 30-40 °).
