Who has heard of maizena hydration? Well, that's exactly what you read! Corn starch (known as maizena) is a great ally for our hair. It helps to end dry hair, moisturizing it, giving it shine, strength and softness. But look there, you won't apply the powder product directly to the locks, because it doesn't have the potential to penetrate the hair. It must be added to the concentrated mask that you already use in your hair schedule. Get to know some benefits of cornstarch hydration and learn how to do it at home!

Check out the step-by-step on how to mix the mask with cornstarch:

Maizena hydration can be done with water. Write down this tip so you don't forget! Those who already have oily strands, especially, should avoid milk, which has fat and can intensify oiliness.

1st step: wash your hair twice with salt-free shampoo, remove excess moisture and apply your favorite hydration mask.

2st step: mix a few tablespoons of cornstarch with water and heat until a pasty mass is formed.

3st step: apply the paste to the hair (over the hydration mask) still warm and let it act for 30 minutes.

4st step: wash the wires with cold water removing all the mixture, but without using any type of shampoo.

ARGAN OIL + MAIZENA HYDRATION: SAVING DRY ENDS

If nothing you've done so far has helped your dry ends other than scissors, let's try one more tip: for those who already use argan oil or any other seed to repair hair ends, it's also worth applying the magic formula (mask + water + cornstarch) on top to seal the strands and enhance the effect. This trick is even less aggressive than using a flat iron to close the cuticles.

CORN STARCH HELPS DISGUISE HAIR GREASE

In addition to hydrating your locks, cornstarch can give extra strength to cats who suffer from excessive oiliness or haven't had time to wash their hair. The trick is to apply the powdered cornstarch to the surface of the hair like a homemade dry shampoo. Then, just pass a comb and give it a few beats with your hand to spread it out. The starch will absorb the oil from your hair and help it look better during the day.

MAIZENA ALSO WORKS AS A NATURAL SMOOTHING

For those who like well-aligned and frizz-free hair, cornstarch hydration also helps in this regard. But it is worth noting that this procedure only works in the long term and with strands that are already smooth. Women with curly and frizzy hair will not have this result, but cornstarch helps to reduce frizz.
