Sea salt

The beneficial properties of sea salt are invaluable in daily care for the whole body. This fact was proved by many doctors and cosmetologists.

But few people know that hair and scalp also need the beneficial effect of the healing components of sea salt.

The benefits of sea salt for hair

Sea salt is a storehouse of vitamins and trace elements that are indispensable for humans (iron, sodium, iodine, calcium, zinc, etc.). Salt is an excellent tool that is designed to correct the structure of the hair and for establishing processes throughout the body.  Its elements penetrate deep into the skin, improve hemodynamics and intercellular metabolism function, and also saturate with oxygen. The sea solution perfectly nourishes the roots, protects from hair loss, activates growth, and also restores it from the inside.

Sea salt acts as an absorbent on the epidermis of the head - it sets the work of the sebaceous glands and absorbs excess fat from the surface. The usual rubbing into the skin has an excellent exfoliating effect and helps to get rid of such a common problem as dandruff. Due to the effect of scrubbing, the surface of the head is cleaned of dead skin particles. The blood flow to the hair follicles is gradually increasing, and, therefore, they get a good nutrition. So, with the help of only one means, you can get rid of many difficulties that arise with hair.

In order to achieve chic hair, salt can be used both in one hundred percent form and as the main component of masks, balms, lotions, scrubs and tonics, which are divided by species depending on the problem. Cosmetics based on salt are in the middle price category, so everyone can purchase them in any store or in a specialized pharmacy.

Recommendations for the use of sea salt for hair

According to the experience of many users, a list of important recommendations for the use of sea salt is compiled:

1. If you have any damage to the skin-wounds, sores, scratches, then you should refuse to use therapeutic agents with the content of sea salt. When exposed, it can cause unpleasant sensations and the strongest irritation of not only the scalp, but also hands, therefore, before applying the mask, you need to protect your hands and put on thin medical gloves.
2. Sea salt should be applied to the hair moistened with water to the main shampoo or after it. Before use, excess moisture is best removed with a towel.
   
3. It is recommended to buy small grinding salt, but if you have a large one, then you can grind it with a coffee grinder.
4. Salt should be clean, i.e. Without various impurities, dyes or chemical flavors, since the harmful components that are part of colored salts can cause an allergic reaction. Experienced hairdressing specialists advise using sea salt for dried hair no more than 1 time every 7 days, and for oily and normal - about 2 times. Do not exceed this limit, otherwise the effect will be the opposite - the hair will become tough, inhibited for combing, and lose their natural volume and smoothness.
