Epsom salt is a remedy for multiple things, including achy muscles, sleep deprivation, and it can even help detox your body. What many people don’t know is that Epsom salt can also be used to volumize your hair, and even strengthen it and promote growth!
Epsom salt crystals contain magnesium and sulfur, both of which are traditionally used in mineral baths. These two minerals provide great health benefits when used correctly, and can be a game changer for your flat, thin hair.
You can do a few different things with Epsom salt and your hair. If you want, mix it equal parts with a conditioner and use the conditioner as normal, leaving it in your hair for 1-2 minutes while showering. The Epsom salts will add volume to your hair and even help exfoliate your scalp. These salts remove the unnatural oils from your scalp and follicles, and create healthier, stronger hair and scalp.
There are a few things to be wary about when using Epsom salt though. First, don’t use these salts if you have color-treated hair. The reaction between the magnesium and your hair color may cause the color to fade. So try to only use Epsom salts with your natural hair color. Another thing to be aware of is, with many things, overusing Epsom salt could cause damage, not benefits. If you overuse these salts, you could notice a dryer scalp and even irritation. It’s recommended that you use Epsom salts in your hair a maximum of 2-3 times per week to avoid over usage.
Other than those potential issues, your hair will be looking bouncy and full in no time! If you really want to double up on these miracle salts, take an Epsom salt bath to ease and relax those muscles, then use the conditioner/shampoo mix as well! You’ll be feeling 100% and have beautiful, healthy hair!
