Homemade masks for hair growth: how oils, vitamins and “burning” components can help

How does natural homemade cosmetics work? Natural components penetrate the structure of the hair, awaken and stimulate the bulbs. In less than a month, new small hairs appear on the head, and after six months of regular care, the volume can even double.

To increase the effectiveness of the mask, use a light head massage before use, and then apply the mixture with smooth rubbing movements. This allows you to accelerate the flow of useful components to the roots and, accordingly, the result will appear faster.

Masks for hair growth: 5 rules

Before preparing root masks that stimulate hair growth, read the rules for their use. There are five nuances that are important to consider.

1. Strictly stick to the recipe. Most growth components dry the skin and hair very much; overdosing can damage the strands and cause severe irritation.
2. Do an allergy test. Some ingredients (honey, cinnamon, pepper) are strong allergens, so before the first use, apply a small amount of the mixture on the elbow and for 30 minutes monitor the condition of the skin.
3. Apply correctly. Many growth enhancing compounds are irritating and can damage strands. Therefore, carefully read the recipes - not all masks can be distributed along the length.
4. Use regularly. If there is no special indication, apply a home mask for hair growth should be twice a week for two months, and then you need a month break.
5. Change the recipe periodically. This will help to avoid the addictive effect and enhance the result.

Reviews: "The effect is a bomb"

I really liked the cinnamon masks. This is a spice, which in fact may well stimulate hair growth. And making a mask is easy. Of the minuses, I can note a light shade, which is possible with prolonged use of the recipe, so it’s better not to abuse platinum blondes. And so a very good option.

... oil masks, they are gorgeous, but in order for them to give a really cool effect, you need to heat the oil a little and wrap it in polyethylene. And if you just put it on your head, it will not be so cool. Personally, I have a favorite of oils - this argan, but in general, everyone picks up for themselves. An onion mask is also worth it. Despite the smell. but I don’t think mustard and pepper masks are good, since they irritate and dry the scalp and the hair dry also does not get any better. But bold, maybe not bad. In any case, there are more gentle natural remedies that activate hair growth. hair grows very well from amla and shikakaya, for example. They do not burn the scalp, they are even suitable for sensitive ones, and the effect is good, I checked it on myself. In any case, I believe in homemade masks, many of them can be much more effective than purchased ones, the main thing is to choose your own recipe.
