All sorts of "superfixing" gels and lacquers promise an excellent lasting result. But is this always so? Let's look at the advantages of a home lacquer before its professional counterpart.
Hair styling products in the home: advantages.
You probably noticed that after some hair styling products the hair is heavier and loses its volume, after others - it's very hard to comb the hair. And some, perhaps, even had an allergy to any components that make up the lacquer. And it's not surprising. Looking in the chemical composition of the varnish, you can see a number of elements that can cause irritation of the scalp. Especially with sensitive skin. And if you cook lacquer in the home, then you will not only be confident in the safety of this product, but will also save money.
In homemade lacquer there will be no chemical additives, and the risk of drying your hair you will be able to minimize. Moreover, using a natural product, you do not have to inhale various toxic chemicals when spraying varnish. After all, no matter how you hold your breath at this moment, the lacquer particles that are sprayed in the air are able to stay on the skin cells and mucous membranes.
What is it possible to make a hair spray from at home?
Lacquer made from sugar.
Such sugar varnish for hair was used by our grandmothers. But, do not forget that sugar exposes hair fragility and tightens them. Unfortunately, this is the negative feature of a strong fixation. With any fixation (especially professional varnish), the natural position of the hair is disturbed, which makes it fragile and vulnerable. But, thanks to the fact that at home you have the opportunity to experiment, you can reduce the amount of sugar contained in the lacquer. To make a sugar lacquer you will need 200 milliliters of water and two teaspoons of sugar. Sugar is recommended firstly to grind, pour water (preferably purified) and, putting on a slow fire, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. After cooling, the varnish is ready for use.
Lemon lacquer.
The most popular recipe for folk remedies for hair styling is lemon varnish. To make this hair spray, you will need one medium, carefully washed lemon. It should be peeled and squeezed out juice in a convenient way for you. Peel off the lemon must be cut very thin, so that it does not leave a flesh. Then add one glass of purified water to the contents with lemon juice. In the same capacity, the skin is also lowered, so that the water covers it. The resulting composition should be covered with a lid and, approximately, for five to seven days, cleaned in a refrigerator. Then the resulting varnish should be poured into a bottle with a "spray-nozzle", throwing away the lemon peel. The resulting varnish when laid, sprayed on clean hair.
Varnish made from rye bread.
To make such a varnish you will need only half a loaf of rye bread. Rye bread should be broken into small pieces and pour two glasses of warm, but not hot water. Then the resulting mixture is brought to a boil over low heat and allowed to stand and cool. The cooled mixture is filtered and poured into a vial for storage of lacquer. This recipe for varnish is a good choice for dark hair owners, because rye bread leaves a pleasant, light hue on the hair.
