The beauty and health of hair directly depend on the consistency of hair care. Improper care or lack thereof makes hair dull, dry, weak and brittle. In addition to the usual cleansing shampoos and balms, the hair and scalp need intensive nutrition, rich essential vitamins and microelements. A yeast hair mask can provide all this.
The benefits of yeast hair masks.
With regular use, yeast masks improve blood circulation in the scalp, nourish and strengthen hair follicles, stimulate their growth, eliminate excessive oiliness, give hair volume and thickness, shine, elasticity and overall healthy looking. This effect of the mask is due to the yeast containing the protein necessary for hair, many minerals (especially iron, manganese, zinc, magnesium, calcium), vitamins B, D, PP. Together, these components provide the yeast mask with such an amazing effect. By the way, brewer's yeast is often prescribed for the treatment and restoration of damaged hair.
How to prepare a yeast hair mask?
To prepare a miracle mask, you can use both baker's and brewer's yeast. It is advisable to use “live” yeast, because it contains much more components beneficial for hair, but it is also suitable in the form of dry granules. When preparing the mask, you should first dilute the yeast. For this purpose, you can use ordinary warm water, or, better yet, kefir or decoction. medicinal herbs(for dark hair, preference should be given to nettle, for light hair, chamomile). The mixture should stand for forty minutes to an hour, after which the remaining components can be added to it. Before applying the mask directly to the scalp and hair, you should do an allergy test, that is, apply a small amount of the mixture to your wrist and wait an hour. If there are no negative reactions, you can use this composition for hair.
How often to make yeast hair masks?
Yeast-based hair masks should be done once a week (at very poor condition hair - twice a week) for two months. Then you need to take a break, during which to observe the condition of your hair. If the problems that previously bothered you remain, you should repeat the course again, otherwise, for preventive purposes, do a mask once a month.

Rules for purchasing and selecting yeast
When creating hair masks, you can use dry (powdered) or raw (live) yeast. But the greatest effect can be achieved with the latter, since they contain the maximum amount of beneficial enzymes, vitamins and minerals.
When purchasing raw yeast at the store, pay attention to the following:
- Packing.
- It is best to choose a small one, because the product has a short shelf life; Structure and color.
- Fresh yeast breaks down well and has a beige tint;
Smell. It is specific, but pleasant and unsharp;
- You should not take it if you notice: Softness and slipperiness.
- This indicates a lack of oxygen, so you should not expect any effect from such a product;
Cracks.
- The product has experienced a temperature change or is past its expiration date. When purchasing dry yeast, make sure that:
- Integrity and tightness
the packaging is not damaged;
The structure is free-flowing, and the yeast does not stick together into a lump.
Welcome everyone to the blog again! I have already talked about the wonderful properties of yeast, we made face masks with miracle fungi, and today we will apply them to our hair. A yeast hair mask at home is easy to prepare and does not require any material costs or a tedious search for magic ingredients. But the result exceeds all expectations! So, you - quickly get the yeast, and for now I’ll tell you what’s what.
- What are the benefits of homemade yeast hair mask?
- It would seem that microscopic mushrooms, how can they help? For example, no one suggests smearing your hair with ground champignons... But yeast is a special mushroom. They were “domesticated” many centuries ago and have since been used in cooking, brewing, and now in cosmetology. It is not clear who and when first thought of using yeast in this way, but today it is known for certain that:
- there is 10 times more thiamine in yeast than in white bread;
- riboflavin - 2 times compared to the liver;
Vitamins B1 and B2 increase blood circulation, due to which the regeneration of the epidermis is accelerated, its tone increases, and the hair looks more vibrant and healthy. Vitamin B9 performs protective function, protecting the fragile structure of the hair from the effects of wind, ultraviolet radiation, hot air from a hair dryer and the destructive influence of curling irons, curlers, and straightening irons. In addition, yeast contains:
- tocopherol, which gives shine to curls;
- biotin, which moisturizes dry strands;
- amino acids that prevent hair loss;
- minerals that promote their growth.
Yeast masks will come in handy for all hair types. They are good to use both as a care product and as a real cure for hair loss, against brittleness and dandruff. What effect can be achieved with regular use?
- acceleration of hair growth;
- giving them volume;
- quality improvement;
- easier combing;
- adding shine and smoothness;
- lack of electrification;
- getting rid of dandruff.
But that is not all! Well-known manufacturers quite successfully prepare their cosmetics based on yeast. Here are “Grandma Agafya’s Recipes”, and “Natura Siberika”, and “Folk Cosmetics No. 1”, and “Phytocosmetics”. I also came across Korean cosmetics with yeast.
Interesting! Not everyone likes the smell of such a care product, and many are especially concerned about whether it will remain on the hair after rinsing. Do not worry! On dried curls, not a trace remains of the specific amber.
Yeast is also good for the face, I wrote about this recently. For those who missed it, I recommend checking it out.
Basic Rules
Which yeast should you prefer, dry or live? I think the live ones are better, and I like them better (the ones sold in briquettes). The main thing is to look at the expiration date of the product before use, especially if you plan to prepare a mask from dry yeast. After all, they are often stored in the kitchen for years. In achieving our goal, the main thing is a quality product.
- When preparing a mask for the first time, take larger dishes. Can you imagine what happens to the dough when it ferments? In our case, the mask must also ferment.
- Do not add too much water to the dry mass, otherwise the finished mask will be quite difficult to apply. It's better to dilute it a little at the end if necessary.
- Water (or another base: milk, kefir, herbal infusions) need to be heated to a temperature of 35-40 ºС. It feels like a comfortable temperature when you don’t scald your hand. If the liquid is colder, the fermentation process will slow down; if it is much hotter, the fungi will die and the result will be reduced to zero.
- Before using, leave the prepared mixture in a warm place (for example, on a radiator) for half an hour so that the yeast “wake up” and begin to bubble. It is advisable to stir it periodically.
Further use
- First, distribute the mask over the entire surface of your head, and apply the remaining mass to your hair using a sparse comb. It is better not to use such products on the ends of your hair - they dry out.
- How to apply correctly - on dry or wet curls? Many people recommend applying it to dry skin. This is extremely inconvenient! It is much easier to distribute the mass over pre-wetted hair. At least spray them with a spray bottle. Even better, first wash your hair with shampoo and dry with a towel.
- After application, put on a shower cap or cling film and wrap a towel around it to create a sauna effect - yeast loves warmth.
- How to wash it off? No problem, warm water. You can use shampoo if the mask contains oils. And to enhance the effect, it is good to use lemon juice. Interestingly, the yeast mask itself perfectly cleanses the hair.
Important! When your hair is dry, there is a chance that the yeast mask will dry it out. In this case, rinse your hair with water with added oils, or chamomile decoction.
Time and frequency of application
There is no clear answer here. Ladies, use your wits and remember that we only have one head of hair and it takes a very long time for a new one to grow. It is permissible to leave a pure traditional yeast mask on your hair for even an hour. If you add any aggressive ingredients, then reduce the time of use.
How many times a week you can do such procedures depends on the effect you want to achieve. If you use yeast exclusively for cosmetic purposes, then once is enough. The course itself can be continued for two to three months. If your goal is therapy, then it is permissible to increase the number of times to 2-3, but then you need to reduce the duration of the course of treatment to three weeks.
Contraindications
But I have nothing to write here. It seems that there should be such a point, otherwise you will think that I forgot. I didn’t forget, I just looked through the mountain of information and didn’t find any special contraindications to the use of such masks for our wild manes.
Just in case, before applying, try the mixture on the delicate skin behind the ear. If it doesn’t burn, then feel free to use it for its intended purpose. Keep in mind that some ingredients (peppers, mustard) give a slight tingling sensation and this is even good, as, for example, in the recipe in this video above. The main thing is that allergic reactions do not occur.
Simple and effective recipes
Beauties, let’s quickly get our hair in order, otherwise we’ve already taken off our hats, and our main decoration after winter leaves much to be desired. There are many different recipes, because you can add anything to masks with yeast. And I’ll give you a few proven ones folk recipes, where you can start getting acquainted with yeast masks.
Most effective for intensive nutrition
An unrealistic hair restoration mask that works instantly. Mash a piece of yeast briquette measuring 3x3 cm, mix with heated honey and give the mixture time to ferment. Sometimes it is advised to add milk to this mask, but I add a regular egg. Keep the mixture on your hair for 40 minutes to an hour.
Attention! Dry yeast and honey will not melt. First they must be diluted in water or milk.
If you don't have honey, replace it with sugar syrup, although the effect will not be as noticeable.
For fast growth and density
Everyone probably knows that all kinds of hot spices speed up hair growth. To do this, red pepper is often added to masks. I had a sad experience with this product, so I don’t recommend using it for our purposes today; I suggest the option with mustard.
- Dissolve two full tablespoons of yeast and half the amount of sugar in half a glass of heated milk. After the mixture has fermented, add half a spoon into it. mustard powder. Do not keep it on your hair for a long time; half an hour will be more than enough.
- Classical kefir-yeast mask, it seems to me, generally solves all problems. It nourishes, adds volume, stimulates growth, and even fights dandruff. It's easy to prepare. Pour the yeast with half a glass of kefir heated in a water bath and use as usual. You can add honey and sour cream to the composition (if your hair is dry).
It’s good to make these masks with burdock oil. It itself stimulates the hair follicles, and together with yeast it gives a great effect.
Interesting! If you add a little cognac to any mask, the amount of dandruff will significantly decrease and your work will return to normal. sebaceous glands. And by adding a pinch of salt, you will speed up the hair growth process.
For dry hair
A mask with added oils will help restore strength and shine to dry strands. Combine two tablespoons of olive and castor oil, add a spoonful of sugar and heat in a water bath. Add diluted yeast to the resulting mixture and use it like any other yeast mask.
It is good to add vitamins in drops or essential oils. It’s great if you have aloe juice on hand. It's a stimulant plant origin, which will help restore your hair to a healthy look in a short time.
For oily hair
The secret of this remedy is egg white. We prepare a regular yeast mask in water or milk and, while the mixture is fermenting, we manipulate the egg: we leave the yolk for culinary delights, and beat the white and add it to the mask. Just wash it off carefully, the protein will coagulate. hot water and it will be difficult to wash it off.
After the first use, you will forget about greasy strands! It’s good to add cinnamon or ginger to such a mask - they also have a drying effect. 
Against fragility and split ends
A yeast mask with gelatin will help achieve the desired result. Have you heard about the popular hair lamination? So this remedy is a home alternative. The hair will shine, become smooth, and the ends will stop splitting.
Leave a tablespoon of gelatin to swell in half a glass of water, then heat until it is completely dissolved. Add the yeast to the warm (!) mixture and a pinch of sugar for faster fermentation. Further - everything according to the usual scenario.
This is perhaps the only yeast mask that is not suitable for adding volume. Everyone else copes with this task in one go.
For weak and damaged hair
This mask is good for recovery after frequent dyeing, winter blow-drying and summer ultraviolet depletion.
Prepare an egg yolk, mix it with a spoon of olive oil and a couple of spoons of homemade sour cream. Prepare the yeast mixture with milk and honey according to the usual recipe and combine the ingredients. Apply the mixture to the full length of your hair and leave it for 40 minutes or a little more.
That’s all for today on how to prepare homemade masks with yeast for hair. Maybe I forgot something effective recipe, tell me, I will be grateful. Tell your friends and invite them to the blog, because I have a lot of interesting things coming up! See you soon!
