Epsom Salt
Many of us have heard a lot about Epsom salts and probably, saw our grandmother use it regularly. If you always wondered why, there are scores of benefits that Epsom salt offers our skin, hair and body. First things first – about hair care uses of Epsom salt.
Epsom salt will help de-grease your hair by eliminating excess oil from your hair. Yes, this means, your hair will look fuller when you wash off! Besides, the minerals in Epsom salt will strengthen and repair your hair, in particular, the strands damaged due to heat styling.
It is also a great de-frizz agent, so it can leave your hair softer, fuller and frizz-free.
Besides, it is a great cleanser. So if you use a lot of styling products or gels, your hair is likely to accumulate dirt and grime soon. This pile-up can trigger several hair and scalp problems including dandruff and itchy scalp. Besides, with many chemicals put on your hair, it can go dry and hard. This mask will also help cleanse your hair and scalp gently, removing any accumulated dirt and grime.
