The benefits of fermented baked milk for hair

The finished drink has a pleasant creamy hue and a characteristic sweetish-creamy taste. In fact, it is one of the varieties of natural yogurt without flavorings or additives. Ryazhenka contains a large number of substances important for human health - micro- and macroelements (phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sodium, iron), saturated fatty acids and vitamins (A, C, E, B1, B2, PP), which have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the digestive system, contribute to the proper functioning of the kidneys and strengthen the immune system.

strengthen roots, reduce hair loss;

Recommendations for using fermented baked milk for hair

In order for fermented baked milk to benefit your curls, you need to follow several important rules regarding its use:

For cosmetic purposes, it is advisable to use homemade fermented baked milk, not from the supermarket. But if only the first option is available to you, when purchasing, be sure to pay attention to the production date of the fermented milk product (the fresher it is, the more nutrients it contains). It is also worth checking the composition of the product - it should not contain dyes, flavors or other chemical additives. High-quality fermented baked milk does not have a pronounced sour taste or pungent odor.
If you have very dry hair, purchase a fermented milk product with a high fat content (at least 4%). For normal-type curls, fermented baked milk 2.5% is suitable. Despite the fact that this drink is very healthy, in rare cases it can cause allergies. To avoid this, you need to first conduct a tolerance test by applying a small amount of the product to the area with the most sensitive skin (for example, on the wrist) and assessing the result after 30-40 minutes. In the absence of negative reactions (redness, burning), you can safely use fermented baked milk to care for your hair.
Ryazhenka for hair can be used both in pure form and as part of various multi-component masks. It is recommended to warm the fermented milk product slightly, but so that the whey does not begin to separate. If you make a mask with added oils, then they should also be warm. Mix the components as thoroughly as possible, avoiding the formation of lumps, which will then be very difficult to wash out of your hair.
It is advisable to apply fermented baked milk or masks based on it on dry hair. It is not necessary to wash your hair before the procedure, the main thing is to comb your hair with a comb to distribute sebum along the entire length of the strands (it will protect the hair shafts from the effects of the acids contained in fermented baked milk). To enhance the effect, it is recommended to put a special insulating cap or “turban” made of a towel on your head after applying the product.
The duration of action of masks with the addition of this drink is 20–40 minutes. If you plan to lighten your hair, you can increase the duration of the session to one and a half to two hours. Such products should not be washed off with hot water, with or without shampoo (depending on what components are included in their composition).
