Sea buckthorn oil: application rules for strength and shine of hair

At what exact moment people learned to use sea buckthorn for medicinal purposes - it is not known exactly. But already in Ancient Egypt and Greece, soldiers healed wounds with the juice of this berry. And also - they watered horses with sea-buckthorn broth to give them strength and endurance. And it was noticed that the hair in animals became soft and radiant. Perhaps it was then that it occurred to someone to use sea buckthorn for the beauty of their own hair.

Beneficial features

Is sea buckthorn oil good for hair? There are so many useful elements in the composition of sea buckthorn that it is difficult to describe everything. Consider the main ones that matter to hair.

• Acids. There are amino acids, and fruit, and the irreplaceable omega. And this is the nutrition of the follicle, hair along the entire length and scalp. Fatty acids soften, relieve itching, strengthen the tips, give shine and elasticity. Fruit - exfoliate the upper layer of skin cells along with dirt, bacteria, fungi.
• Vitamins and Minerals. Normalize metabolic processes, nourish the bulbs, enhance tissue regeneration, stimulate hair growth. And vitamins of group A (carotenoids) are able to get rid of dandruff.
• Phytosterols. They are natural components of cell membranes, that is, they participate in the “filtration” of substances entering and excreted into the cell. They are powerful antioxidants, stop inflammatory processes, promote the penetration of vitamins into the hair follicles, stop baldness.
• Phospholipids. Another component of cell membranes involved in all intercellular metabolic processes. “Carry” beneficial substances into cells, heal the scalp, smooth the surface of the hair, give the strands shine and “obedience”.

Application Nuances

Masks with sea buckthorn oil are able to solve the problems of loss, cross-section of the tips, dull and lifeless look of curls, eliminate dandruff. But here it is important not to spoil the miraculous properties of mixtures with your own ignorance. Here are ten tips on how to apply the composition.

1. Warm up. In a steam bath until approximately 30-40 ° C. A warm product will “open” the pores and raise the scales of the hair, so the beneficial properties of the berry will appear brighter. In addition, warm oil is washed off much easier than cold. Moreover, all the ingredients should be warm.
2. Do not harvest for future use. Use the mask immediately after cooking. If the recipe includes food, then they should be as fresh as possible.
3. Apply to dirty hair. Oil formulations are best used on dry unwashed hair. After all, then you will wash off the mask with shampoo and, possibly, more than once. You can slightly dampen the strands before the procedure, but no more, otherwise the mixture simply drains.
4. Do not overdo it. The specific exposure time of the mask is indicated in each recipe. Do not exceed it. Hair will not get more benefit from this.But you can easily “earn” clogged pores, because the oil is very thick and the skin under it does not breathe.
5. Do not be lazy to massage. Do this first before applying the mask - this will warm up your skin and open your pores. And then during - slowly, rub the composition in a circular motion, so you will increase blood flow and provide better transportation of "utilities" to the bulbs.
6. Insulate. After applying, cover the hair with polyethylene and wrap it with a warm scarf or towel. Cellophane will save from spreading the liquid composition, and the insulation will allow you to maintain the desired temperature and provide better penetration of "utilities."
7. Rinse hair with broths. After you wash off the mask with shampoo, rinse your head with a decoction (chamomile, lime, nettle) or just water acidified with lemon or apple cider vinegar.
8. Do not blow dry. Let the hair dry on its own. Otherwise, you risk significantly reducing the benefits of the procedure.
9. Apply courses. Masks are preferably applied in courses of eight to ten treatments in a row (an average of two months). Then - a mandatory break for a month.
10. Consult a professional. If you are visiting a trichologist, ask him a question about the permissibility of using sea buckthorn extract. If this is not possible - contact him with your hairdresser.

When choosing a recipe, focus on your hair type and problems. Well, the simplest method is to apply the oil in its purest form.

To begin with, it’s a little worth increasing the dosage, the hair becomes oily and the hair does not wash out for a long time, but there are more pluses, it perfectly cares for the hair, moisturizes, the hair has become more obedient, and along the entire length it feels like a lamination effect, each the hair is protected.
