Editorial Board
If you want to improve the condition of your hair, special attention should be paid to shampoos that you use.
A frightening figure - in 97% of shampoos of famous brands are substances that poison our body. The main components, due to which all the troubles on the labels are designated as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, coco sulfate. These chemicals destroy the structure of the hair, the hair becomes brittle, lose elasticity and strength, the color fades. But the worst thing is that this stuff gets into the liver, heart, lungs, accumulates in the organs and can cause cancer.
We advise you to abandon the use of funds in which these substances are located. Recently, experts of our editorial staff conducted an analysis of sulfate-free shampoos, where Mulsan Cosmetic took the first place. The only manufacturer of all-natural cosmetics. All products are manufactured under strict quality control and certification systems.
We recommend to visit the official online store mulsan.ru. If you doubt the naturalness of your cosmetics, check the expiration date, it should not exceed one year of storage.

Divide the hair into 4 equal parts. Assign in your mind to each of the strands a sequence number from 1 to 4 from left to right.
- Flip the second and third part of the hair between themselves so that the third was on top.
- Now that of the two middle strands that were on top, in our case, the third, spend under the first. And the one that was below, in our case, the second, put over the fourth.
- As a result of the operations you have done, your 2 and 3 parts should be on the edges, and 1 and 4 in the middle.
- Put the fourth of the strands on the third.
- Repeat the operation with medium strands. The one that was on top, swipe under the one next to the edge from the bottom, and the one that is below, circle around the topmost one.
