Burdock hair mask for hair loss

Hair mask 🧢 with burdock oil is a source of vitamins, 💊 flavonoids, minerals and unsaturated fatty acids. 🧬 It contains B vitamins, vitamins A, E, C, as well as iron, calcium and chromium. 📃 Inulin, which is a valuable natural substance, helps to cleanse and moisturize the scalp.

Therefore, with the help of masks, you can significantly improve the condition of the scalp, regulate the work of the sebaceous glands, and get rid of the problem of early baldness. The product not only gives the hair an attractive appearance, it heals them, strengthens the roots from the inside, and increases their vitality.

Efficiency of use

Burdock oil, which is produced from burdock roots, is able to nourish curls the following substances:

• proteins;
• microelements;
• vitamins;
• flavonoids;
• stearic and tannic acid;
• inulin of natural origin;
• minerals.

All these beneficial components penetrate not only into the hollow structure of the hair itself, but also into the hair follicle. Will this oil help? Of course, yes. The follicles are nourished and activated, so the hair begins to grow faster, and the "dormant" bulbs wake up, throwing out a new strong hair.

Do not think that the effect will come immediately after 1-2 sessions. It should take at least 1.5–2 months for you to notice an improvement in the condition of your hair. This is how much time it takes to strengthen the hair follicle, which will be able to throw out a new, stronger and more beautiful hair.

Thus, burdock oil contributes to:

• activation of hair growth by feeding the follicle and improving microcirculation;
• the establishment of metabolic processes at the cellular level, as well as improved regeneration of the epidermis;
• elimination of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis;
• getting rid of microbes living on the scalp;
• better natural shine and color activation;
• thickening of hair that is too soft;
• elimination of split ends;
• the formation of an immune response of the skin to an external stimulus.

Indications for use

In the case of alopecia, burdock oil can help in the initial stages. Unfortunately, if the disease is neglected (partial or total baldness), it will not be able to return the dead follicle. Therefore, you can not start the disease. As soon as you notice excess hair loss (100 units per day), immediately begin therapy with a healing suspension of burdock roots.

An important point! Burdock oil is perfect for dry curls and scalp. It perfectly moisturizes the skin, helps moisture stay in the hair for a long time. For oily curls, you can also use burdock squeeze, but in this case there is a risk of oiling your head even more and looking untidy. So it's up to you: treatment or a beautiful, well-groomed look of curls.

Trichologists say that making masks based on burdock or applying pure burdock oil on the dermis of the scalp should be 2 times a week. The course of therapy is 2 months.If at the initial stages you notice an improvement, and then the hair again began to fall out, split and fade, stop using the burdock for 2 weeks. Chances are, skin and hair are used to it.

• Dropping out.
• Slow growth.
• Dandruff.
• Increased fragility.

Contraindications to use

Despite the fact that burdock oil is a valuable hair care product, it is not always possible to use it. You can not use the mask if a person has an individual intolerance to this product. Although allergic reactions are rare, an allergic reaction test should be done before first applying the product to the scalp.

How to choose the right burdock oil?

In addition, you need to pay attention to the following points:

• The packaging containing the oil must not be transparent. It is good if it is poured into dark glass containers, which are additionally placed in cardboard boxes.
• The label must indicate the composition of the product, details of its manufacturers, the shelf life of the oil and the required storage conditions.
• Focusing on these criteria, you can choose the highest quality and useful product.

General rules for using burdock oil hair masks

A guaranteed effect can be obtained only when masks are applied in courses. It is impossible to heal your hair and make it stronger in just one procedure. The optimal duration of the course is considered to be a period of one and a half months, after which it is necessary to take a break for 14 days.

In order for each procedure to give the maximum effect, it is necessary to warm the oil before applying it to the scalp. The best way to do this is in a water bath.

• In order for the active components of the mask to penetrate to the hair follicles, after its application, it is necessary to create a "greenhouse effect". To do this, you need to use a plastic cap and a terry towel.
• The minimum exposure time of the mask to the scalp is 30 minutes. If the mask does not contain aggressive components, such as mustard powder, then it can be left for a longer period and even overnight.
• The frequency of using burdock oil hair masks depends on their condition. If the scalp is dry, then the mask is recommended to be applied 3 times a week. When the hair is oily, then you need to apply the medicinal composition less often - once a week.
• It is very convenient to use a brush to apply oil. Thus, it will be possible to use the product sparingly and distribute it over the entire surface of the scalp and along the hair roots. If you don't have a special brush at hand, you can use a regular toothbrush.
• After applying the oil, comb the hair gently with a wide-toothed comb and massage the scalp well with your fingers.
• Burdock oil can and should be combined with other ingredients. This will make the mask more effective and select the composition that is optimal for a particular person.
• A mask with burdock oil is not suitable for daily use. You cannot overload your hair with useful substances, as this will not affect their condition in the best way.
• Apply the mask to dry or slightly damp hair. You should not wash your hair before using burdock oil.
• Do not apply too much oil to your hair, as the amount of oil will not increase the effectiveness of the procedure. For medium-length hair, a teaspoon of oil is sufficient for one application.
