Both men and women of different ages face the problem of massive hair loss. Such an unpleasant phenomenon forces us to look for effective methods that would allow us to strengthen the roots and preserve our hair. One of the most effective means is traditionally considered burdock oil.
Causes of Hair Loss
It is considered normal that any person has several hairs a day - do not be afraid to find them on your comb. However, quite often situations arise when hair is constantly found on clothing, in the bathroom after washing your hair, and after combing on the brush there is still a small bundle - this indicates a serious problem, which is called alopecia.
Of course, the first signals do not mean at all that you will lose all your hair any day, but you must start to deal with the problem right away so as not to aggravate the situation, and the sight is not the most aesthetic and pleasant.
Trichologists identify several main causes of hair loss:
- age-related changes (especially in men);
- frequent staining and perm;
- illiterate scalp care;
- deficiency of essential vitamins and minerals;
- malnutrition;
- stress;
- the use of strong medicines;
- adverse environmental conditions.
Efficiency
An excellent product is made on the basis of burdock roots, which allows you to successfully deal with copious hair loss. The product nourishes the scalp with macro- and microelements, essential proteins, minerals, as well as inulin, flavonoids, stearic and tannic acids.All of these components tend to penetrate directly into the hair follicle, nourish it and activate, so that the "dormant" bulbs soon wake up and throw out a dense hair.
This oil has been used by women for many decades, its relevance does not lose over the years due to a number of beneficial effects.
Burr oil:
- strengthens hair roots;
- forms a thinnest protective film on each hair, which reduces the negative impact of the environment and styling products;
- relieves dandruff, itching and peeling;
- effectively restores hair that is damaged by curling and frequent dyeing;
- makes hair strong, shiny and silky.
Thus, the use of burdock oil as a hair care product allows you to:
- improve microcirculation in the skin;
- activate hair growth;
- stabilize metabolic processes in cells;
- get rid of microorganisms that live on the head;
- Reduce the number of tips ends
- to form a natural immunity to external stimuli.
Burdock oil is a hypoallergenic, environmentally friendly product that is made exclusively from natural raw materials. The product can get rid of any problems with hair in a short period of time, while its cost is minimal, and you can purchase it at any large store or pharmacy.
Of course, oil has its drawbacks. The most basic one is that when applying the composition to the head, the hair becomes very oily and heavier - to wash off the oil, you will need 2 or even 3 procedures for applying shampoo. In addition, you should not wait for an instant transformation - you can notice the result of using burdock oil no earlier than in a couple of months - it takes so much time for the follicle to throw out a new hair.
Keep in mind that burdock oil does not work miracles, it can help only in the very early stages of alopecia. If the disease is started, then stronger means will be required to return to the life of the dead follicle, which is why you should not start the disease in any case - as soon as you find that you have more than 100 hairs lost per day, you must immediately run for the healing suspension from burdock and start therapy immediately.
Important: if you have normal or dry hair, you can safely use oil, but if your head is oversized, you can only make the situation worse with oil, your head will be even more oily and your hair will become extremely unpleasant - in this case, it’s better to focus on squeezing roots.
The oil is applied 2 times a week, sometimes at first the hair against the desired recovery, on the contrary, begin to fall out in large quantities, then fade and split. In this case, it is necessary to suspend the use of the drug for a couple of weeks so that the skin and hair can get used to the oil composition.
How to apply
At the moment, burdock oil is most often used as the base element of masks, combining it with a wide variety of ingredients. Consider the most effective.
Combine 3 tbsp. l oil, as well as honey and lemon juice and melt the resulting mixture in the microwave or in a water bath. After the composition has cooled, it is necessary to introduce 3 yolks to it and shake well. Then it is necessary to massage into the scalp with massaging movements, wrap it with a warm terry towel and leave for an hour and a half. Such a composition can be applied once a week, the minimum course of procedures is a month.
The burdock-honey mask can be made a little differently - for this, 2-3 tablespoons of oil are mixed with 1 tsp of cocoa and 2 yolks, and then rubbed. The mixture, as in the previous case, needs to be wrapped and kept for 70-90 minutes. A similar procedure should be carried out twice a week for a month. Keep in mind that for blondes this option is not suitable - the hair may become a little dyed.
A mask of burdock oil with pepper is very effective: 4 g of pepper is mixed with 4 tablespoons of the base component, warmed up a little in a water bath and rubbed into the head with intense movements. The composition is kept for no more than a quarter of an hour, after which it is washed off with running warm water. If you hold the composition on the skin for longer, it will begin to pinch, and in addition, after use, the head will begin to peel and hurt.
Not everyone decides on masks with onion juice, because the smell of this vegetable is very persistent, and it does not work to get rid of it right away. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of the mask for baldness is quite high, so if a problem occurs, it is worth trying. To prepare the mixture, oil, onion juice, honey, as well as shampoo are combined in equal proportions and mixed until a homogeneous structure is then heated and rubbed into the hair itself, not forgetting about the scalp, covered with a cap and wrapped. Keep the mixture for 1 or 2 hours, then rinse.
Masks made from burdock oil with cognac, rum or ordinary vodka are quite effective. To do this, take oil and alcohol components of 2 liters and add 2 yolks and 1 liter of lemon juice to them (this component is optional). Leave on the hair for an hour.
Another good folk remedy against severe hair loss is to brew 2 tbsp. l dry nettle in 1 cup boiling water and leave for about 20 minutes. Into the cooked broth, add 1 liter of oil and rub thoroughly into the head 2-3 times a week. Keep in mind that using such a mixture more than 7 times a month is undesirable.
Masks with dry mustard have long established themselves on the best side, for its preparation they mix 2 liters of mustard powder, water and warm burdock oil, mix, add the yolk and a couple of spoons of refined sugar. The composition is applied to the hair roots for 35-40 minutes. and kept under a warming cap.
If desired, you can also mix 2 l of burdock oil and squeeze the oats or wheat germ, warm slightly and apply for 45-50 minutes. - reviews about this mask are the most positive.
In the early stages of baldness, the following mask helps: 100 ml of sour milk or yogurt are combined with 2 liters of butter, 3 liters of oatmeal and 1 spoon of castor oil and yolk. Serum and oils should first be heated in a water bath, otherwise the flakes will not swell. Rub the composition along the entire length of the hair and leave for 1-1.5 hours.
This oil for the treatment of scalp and hair can be used in its pure form without the addition of additional ingredients. To do this, it is heated in a water bath, and then rubbed into the hair, tightly wrap and left for half an hour. After the specified time, the oil must be washed off with hot water with a well-foaming shampoo.
