The best type of salt for hair is sea salt or epsom salt. These salts have high mineral content and low saltiness and can easily be purchased at grocery stores. If you can’t buy these salts, use sea salt (not table salt or iodized salt) mixed with shampoo to stimulate hair growth. After just 1 week of use, your hair will become thick, shiny, and soft like salon-treated hair.
1 Beautiful hair with salt
Although they are both “salt”, epsom salt is different from regular table salt. Epsom salt is a natural mineral with a bitter taste instead of saltiness, first discovered in the 16th century in a mineral spring in Epsom, England. Since then, epsom salt has been widely popular for its many benefits, the most common of which is for bathing and foot soaking to relieve pain, fatigue, and detoxify the body.
Not many people know how to use salt for hair, but if your hair tends to get oily, greasy, and lose its shine, you should definitely try this simple and effective trick for beautiful hair from former Miss California, Marianna Hewitt: just mix epsom salt with regular shampoo (adjust the ratio to 3:2, 2:3, or 1:1), make sure to thoroughly apply the shampoo mixture from the scalp to the ends of the hair, gently massage. After about 1 minute, rinse off the shampoo-salt mixture easily and you will immediately notice that your hair is less oily, soft, smooth, and free from dead skin cells, residues of old hair care products, and dirt.
In addition to the issue of greasiness, hair thickness is also a concern for many women. If you already have thick hair, you may not feel a noticeable difference, but due to reduced greasiness, your hair will feel fuller, despite being lighter. And if you are struggling with thin hair and want it to grow more, you just need to mix epsom salt with conditioner, warm up this mixture and use it to massage your hair from roots to ends, then leave it on for about 20 minutes before rinsing. By doing this, you not only solve the problem of split ends but also stimulate hair growth.
Note: avoid getting shampoo-salt mixture in your eyes as it will be very painful, and you should choose to use coarse epsom salt for the best results.
Many people who have applied this method advise not to do it more than once a month because it will make your hair overwhelmingly beautiful. Of course, this is just a joke, but you really should not do it too frequently as it can dry out your hair and scalp.
2 Soft and shiny hair with honey
Shampooing with honey helps strengthen hair, prevent breakage and hair loss, as well as eliminate bacteria, moisturize, and add shine to the hair.
You just need to add some honey to your shampoo, after wetting your hair, apply and massage evenly so that the honey can penetrate evenly after a period of 3-5 minutes, rinse off with water and apply 2-3 times a week, then your hair will be soft and shiny.
