How to make whey at home. Oily hair mask

Ordinary whey can do wonders for the human body. Plus, it's very easy to make at home.

This drink is also called the elixir of health. Whey is unique in that it does not belong to milk (although it is a derivative of milk) or fermented milk products. Whey is almost completely absorbed by the body, because 94 percent consists of water, and the rest is vital substances (vitamin C, all B vitamins, lactose, protein, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, probiotic bacteria).
For example, lactose reduces processes such as fermentation and gas formation, so the use of whey already in 2-3 weeks normalizes the activity of the gastrointestinal tract, eliminates dysbacteriosis. And thanks to the content of potassium and magnesium, it gives relief to people with heart disease and those who usually find it very difficult to tolerate heat and temperature changes.
But even in healthy people, a lack of potassium causes fatigue, deterioration of memory and attention, so a glass of whey is able to "mobilize" mental activity.

In addition, whey has the ability to remove toxins from the body, normalizes fat and carbohydrate metabolism, restores the water-salt balance, and reduces the amount of "bad" cholesterol in the blood. It is useful to people of all age categories. In addition, you can wash your face with serum - it saturates the skin with nutrients, moisturizes it, and restores youth.

How much whey can you drink?

From 50 grams (children) to a glass per day. One glass is enough to provide the body with vital substances. In addition, whey can be used to make various culinary dishes, okroshka, as well as cocktails (fresh fruits and berries are churned in a blender and whey is added).

Dear readers, how do you feel about dairy products? I love them very much, including cottage cheese, especially homemade, rustic. For breakfast with tea or coffee - it's such a charm! The main thing is not to abuse high-fat dairy products.

And what about whey? Waste product, waste? Don't tell. In this inconspicuous yellowish liquid, there are enough useful and healing substances that are not only beneficial for health, but are also widely used for rejuvenation and skin and hair care.

What is the use of milk whey for hair, how to prepare it at home and use it in hair care, as well as recipes, let's talk today.

Hair Benefits

Whey contains a number of vitamins, trace elements and other substances that have a beneficial effect on the health of our hair. Namely:

• nourishes the roots and hair;
• moisturizes;
• promotes renewal and restoration of the hair structure;
• increases the strength of the hair shafts;
• strengthens hair roots;
• prevents falling out;
• according to some reports, promotes hair growth;
• normalizes the work of the sebaceous glands;
• fights fungal diseases of the scalp;
• normalizes metabolic processes;
• restores weakened and damaged hair after dyeing, perm, frequent styling and other harmful effects;
• protect hair from external harmful influences;
• allows hair to stay clean and fresh longer.

Application result

After several procedures with milk whey, the hair becomes strong, gains elasticity, silkiness, volume, healthy shine, looks healthy and well-groomed, and it becomes much easier to comb them.

We solve problems

Milk whey is suitable for the care and improvement of all types of hair, but first of all it has proven its effectiveness for:

• dry hair;
• oily hair;
• weakened and damaged hair;
• prevention of falling out;
• elimination of dandruff;
• split ends treatment.

How to make milk whey at home

Serum can be purchased at the store, on the market or made at home. If we compare these three options, then store-bought whey is the least effective. The fact is that it is not known what kind of milk was used in its production, what food additives were included in it. In addition, industrial whey is designed for a long shelf life, which, of course, does not add useful properties to it.

If you don’t have time to make your own serum, then a product bought on the market is a worthy option. It is made from natural homemade milk without any food additives and, we can say with confidence that it was not subject to boiling (curdled milk was heated only to the temperature needed to get cottage cheese).

And finally, the most reliable and proven way to get natural milk whey for hair is to cook it yourself at home. How to do it?

Frozen kefir

We put a bag of fresh kefir in the freezer and wait until it is completely frozen. Then we install a colander or sieve on the pan, where we put gauze in several layers and put frozen kefir. When it is completely defrosted, then tender curd will remain in the gauze, and useful and healing whey will remain in the pan.

With this method, whey, without being exposed to high temperatures, completely retains all useful and medicinal substances in its composition. For those who make kefir at home, this is the best option.

Heating sour milk

Pour homemade whole milk into a saucepan and leave in a warm place to sour. To speed up the process, you can add a slice of rye bread. When the milk turns sour, remove the bread, and put the pan on a small fire and heat until the milk curdles. Be careful not to heat the yogurt too much, otherwise the curd will turn out tough.

Remove the pan from the heat, cool the contents and strain through several layers of gauze. High-quality home-made cottage cheese will remain in the gauze, and the liquid is useful and healing whey.

Adding lemon juice

This method is designed for quick preparation of whey. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into a liter of homemade whole milk, mix well and put on a small fire. The milk will curdle as it heats up. Remove the pan from the heat, cool the liquid and filter, as already described.

With this method, whey is still not quite “correct”, since during its manufacture there is no process of fermentation (fermentation) of milk and, therefore, the resulting product does not contain beneficial bacteria and other beneficial substances accompanying this process.

How to store whey

Whey should be stored in a glass container in the refrigerator.

For medicinal and cosmetic purposes, the shelf life of the product should not exceed three days.

And now let's look at how to use milk whey for hair in order to get the maximum benefit from this product.

Natural serum-based shampoo

Milk whey contains components that gently and effectively cleanse the scalp and hair from pollution and sebum. This tool is less aggressive and acts softer than industrial shampoos. In addition, it has a healing and caring effect on the hair and scalp.

Hair wash with whey

Warm the whey to a warm state and apply a small amount on the scalp first, massage for a couple of minutes, and then wet all the hair. The exposure time is 5 minutes, then rinse with warm water. To enhance the effect, rinse clean hair with a decoction.

You can wash your hair with whey as needed.

Hair rinse with whey

One of the easiest ways to use whey for hair is rinsing. For this procedure, the product is used both by itself and in combination with other components.

Serum or composition with its inclusion must be preheated to a pleasant comfortable temperature. To enhance the effect, you can add half an ampoule of vitamin A or E.

Wash your hair as usual, wring out (you can lightly blot with a towel). Then we use the prepared mouthwash with whey. We wring out the hair, dry it with a towel and let it dry naturally. Additionally, you do not need to rinse your hair with water. Apply as needed.

After this procedure, the hair looks well-groomed, beautiful, easier to style, stays clean and fresh longer.

Whey rinse recipes

A variation of rinsing with whey is the use of a spray. This procedure has proven itself to restore the structure of the hair after dyeing, perm, frequent styling, etc.

What is whey, how can it be prepared? The composition and calorie content of a fermented milk drink, useful and harmful properties. Recipes and interesting facts.

The content of the article:

Whey is the liquid fraction that remains after curdling or straining milk, preparing fermented milk products. Color - hazy, may be yellowish, whitish, greenish, concentration - thick and liquid. Taste - sour or sweet, depends on the technology of preparation and the type of feedstock. It is used not only in the food industry, but also in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of globular proteins - lactalbumin, alpha-lactalbumin and blood serum albumin, used for the manufacture of medicines and food supplements.

How is whey prepared?

The separation of the liquid occurs after the coagulation of the milk protein-casein due to a decrease in the acidity (pH) of the feedstock to 4.6 units. Lactic acid is formed under the influence of external factors, with increased activity of microorganisms that arise naturally or are introduced artificially.

On an industrial scale, whey is obtained by curdling or separating milk, but the production process does not stop there. Before storage, the product is pasteurized at a temperature of 74-78°C and only then cooled to 4-6°C. Then they carry out pre-sale preparation - they are packaged in plastic bottles or bags made of durable polyethylene.

• Yogurt or three-day kefir is left for 12 hours at room temperature, and then placed in a non-hot oven (80 ° C), where the separation of the original product and pasteurization take place simultaneously. Such a drink can be safely drunk and given to young children.
• Put fresh milk on fire, add sourdough - kefir, a little citric acid or lemon juice, sour cream, bring to a boil and stratify the original product. The longer the cottage cheese is cooked, the more transparent and low-calorie the whey will be in the future. A drink is obtained that is safe to drink, but the beneficial properties are not preserved after heat treatment.
• Whey separation is slow, curdling is carried out by heating water. The feedstock is poured into jars and placed on a folded towel in a bulky wide-bottomed dish installed on a stove. You have to be very careful, otherwise the banks will burst. Maintain a small fire so that the milk does not boil.

After separation of the feedstock into curd and whey, straining is carried out through gauze folded in several layers.

If cow, sheep, camel or buffalo milk is used for cooking, you can do without sourdough. In this case, it is enough for it to stand for several hours in a warm place. It is impossible to prepare whey from goat's milk, as from another type of raw material. This product does not turn sour for a long time, and curdling will not work without sourdough.
