Has anyone ever used flour on their hair as a beauty treatment?

I read an online article saying that French women put flour in their hair because it helps smooth out the cuticles of the hair and makes it more shiny. Here is the recipe....





INGREDIENTS





1/2 cup white spelt flour


1/2 cup barley flour


1 cup distilled water


1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar


1 plastic bag that can fit over the hair





To Make:


1. Sift the flours together in a large bowl.





2. Pour the water and vinegar over the flours and mix well.





To Use:


1. Spoon the flour mixture onto your dry hair.





2. Smooth the paste all over the hair shafts. (This treatment is for the hair. It is not harmful for the scalp, but the focus is on getting the paste on the individual strands of hair.)





3. Sweep the coated hair up on top of your head and cover with a plastic bag, securing with a hair clip or clothespin.





4. Leave on for 20 to 30 minutes.





5. Remove plastic bag and rinse the mixture off hair thoroughly using cool water. (Hot water will make the flour stick to the hair shafts.)





6. Shampoo as usual, rinsing with cool water.





Has anyone ever tried this? Or is it just some kind of joke?Has anyone ever used flour on their hair as a beauty treatment?
It probably works, and it's probably not a joke since it says to shampoo it out at the end, which obviously means you'll be getting rid of the stuff anyway instead of leaving it in all day. I think it would probably work but it just sounds like every other hair mask out there.





Please help me :)
