Useful properties and action
The miraculous hair mask is very much appreciated by girls. What valuable components does cocoa contain?
- The root system is strengthened, the scalp is calmed due to the action of neurotransmitters. In addition, the curls become much more elastic.
- The antioxidants found in cocoa are famous for their restorative effects. As a result, the curls stop breaking and splitting.
- Hair stops falling out due to the action of tannins.
- Many vitamins and nutritional components are found in cocoa. For example, polysaccharides, vitamins B, A, PP. The scalp is well saturated with nutritional components, which promotes enhanced growth.
- Hair color becomes brighter and hair is revitalized by caffeine.
All components contained in cocoa perfectly nourish the strands. Cocoa, when taken internally, can maintain strength, and hair takes on a healthy appearance. But no matter what valuable properties cocoa has, it is worth knowing about some existing contraindications.
Usually, those girls who know about the benefits of cocoa begin to strengthen with its help with all their might. But it's not right.

If the girl has light hair, then the effectiveness of the effect must first be tested on one thin strand. After all, sometimes it turns out that the hair begins to turn a light brown tone. If as a result of the experiment the strand is colored, then it is better to put aside the cocoa-based masks. But even in this case, there is one trick that not everyone knows. For example, you can add a little kefir to the mask, which neutralizes the brown color.
When using the product, wear clothes that you will no longer wear in the future. This is due to the fact that the mask can get on clothing. As a result, it will be very difficult to remove the dye. If you decide to use the mask constantly, then leave the selected clothes for the next time.
There are different products with different components. But it is best to apply a not very liquid composition to the strands. The thick mixture is also difficult to distribute over the surface of the hair. It is recommended to apply it to your hair over a bath, pulling the strands into a ponytail. It will be quite convenient.
A warming compress can enhance the effect of the mask. This will require an unnecessary warm towel and a bag.
The expiration date of the powder should be normal, like other components, if you do not want to spoil your hair. Before use, the product is applied to the wrist, waiting for the effect. If irritation occurs, wash off the mask and do not use it on strands. Find another way to restore your hair.
