How did our grandmothers take care of their hair years ago? Many of them used a trick that allowed them to impress with their hairstyles instantly, even if they didn't have time to wash their hair beforehand. This indispensable product turned out to be well-known potato starch. Here's how to use it properly.
Why use potato starch on hair?
Potato starch has been used for years in preparing various dishes, including delicious sauces and soups. However, few people know that it can also be used for hair care.
Potato starch excellently absorbs excess sebum produced by the sebaceous glands. When applied to the scalp, hair appears much less greasy.
It can also be used on the rest of the hair, effectively moisturizing it. Additionally, strands will be smooth and shiny.
How to apply potato starch to hair?
It might seem that applying potato starch to hair is not easy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Just sprinkle a small amount onto your hand, then massage it into the top of your head.
After a moment, use a brush to remove the excess product from the scalp, spreading it along the length of your hair. Sometimes, those with dark hair may notice a slight, light residue from the starch. However, you can get rid of it by lightly sprinkling your hair with, for example, cinnamon, which will additionally nourish and stimulate it to grow.
