There are several universal rules for using natural oil masks. By observing them, you will ensure maximum results and will not harm your own curls.

• Consider your hair type. The combination of oils or the choice of one of them should be based on the individual characteristics of your curls. So, for example, for oily hair, light oils such as coconut, almond or jojoba are more suitable. There are no particular restrictions for dry and normal hair, so choose the recipe you trust most.
• Do not deviate from the specified proportions. Hair growth recipes and formulations are not invented from the ceiling. In some cases, it is precisely the exact adherence to the prescribed proportions that is the key to obtaining the desired result. This is especially true for essential oils, as their concentration is very high and can cause unwanted reactions.
• Check the product for an allergic reaction. First, apply the composition to the bend of the elbow, wait, evaluate the result. If everything is in order, then you can safely apply it to your hair. Despite the fact that the composition of such mixtures is completely natural and environmentally friendly, no one has canceled the individual intolerance of one or another ingredient.

• Before using the mixture, warm it up in a water bath. If you have prepared the composition for several applications at once, then heat only the part that you are going to use at the moment. Warm oil is much more effective, it penetrates the hair structure faster, providing the desired effect.
• Apply oils to moisturized hair. At the same time, they must be clean. Of course, the easiest way is to use masks before washing your hair again. But if the hair is heavily contaminated, then the effectiveness of the procedure decreases significantly. Therefore, do not be lazy to wash your hair first, but do not apply balm or other hair cosmetics. Dry your hair, and only then apply a mask from a combination of oils.
• Maintain optimal temperature conditions during oil exposure. An ordinary towel or plastic bag will help enhance the effect. The latter can also be replaced with cling film. It is easy to wrap the whole head with it, while the composition does not get on the clothes.
• The minimum period of exposure to natural oils is 30 minutes. For each composition, there are personal recommendations for the exposure time. If you decide to just use one of the above oils, then focus on this time period. Some can be safely left overnight (olive, coconut, jojoba).

• Apply shampoo to the scalp and massage before rinsing. This will help remove the oily oil from the hair surface more easily. Rinse your hair with warm water. You may need to reapply the shampoo. Do not be afraid that you will wash off all the nutrients from your hair. All trace elements necessary for their beauty and growth have already been absorbed.
• Finish the procedure by rinsing the curls in a decoction of herbs or a weak vinegar solution. Medicinal plants will enhance the effect of the oils and leave the hair soft and silky. The vinegar solution will instantly give a glossy shine. If you apply it without using masks made of oils, there is a possibility of overdrying the curls.
• Apply the remedy in courses. The best option is to carry out 10 procedures at regular intervals. Then let the curls rest for a while, after which you can repeat the course.

It is difficult to say which version of the mask will be perfect for you. Netizens are actively sharing their impressions and feelings of the procedures performed. With a generally positive background of reviews, there are also neutral ones. Not everyone can see the visible changes in the condition of the hair and objectively assess the rate of their regrowth. But in most cases, when the procedures were carried out regularly, and not once, users noticed positive changes from the use of masks made from natural oils.
