In masks based on burdock oil, a drug such as dimexide is often used. As an independent tool, it performs regenerating and antimicrobial functions. Since it accelerates all processes in tissues, hair masks with the addition of this drug work faster, and the result is more pronounced.

1. No need to wash your hair before applying the mask. On stale hair, it works better.
2. Covering the head is necessary for better penetration of nutrients into the hair structure.
3. If mask heating is shown, this must be done.
4. No need to wash off the mask after 15 minutes, if the time of its action is 2 hours. Hair in this case will not receive power, and 15 minutes will turn into a waste of time.
5. Burdock masks give excellent results only when used regularly. Applying a mask 1 time in 2 months will not give any positive result. Only a systematic use of the product courses will lead to results.
6. Oily hair also requires moisture. In this case, moisturizing oil masks are applied once every 2 weeks. It is not recommended to neglect these procedures for owners of this type of hair. Without moisturizing, the sebaceous glands of the skin work even harder, and it gets dirty faster.

Oxygen starvation is manifested by a decrease in hair quality. They become dull, lifeless and begin to fall out. To prevent this, it is necessary to periodically use a scrub for the scalp. Scrub or peel performs the following functions:

• cleans the skin from dead scales;
• improves the blood circulation of the skin;
• provides oxygen to the cells;
• reduces scalp oiliness due to improved blood circulation.

But peeling has a number of contraindications:

• violation of the integrity of the skin;
• pregnancy and lactation;
• the presence of tumors and skin diseases;
• sensitive scalp.

Scrubbing particles in professional peels are different in size as well as exposure to the skin. These are mainly natural ingredients, such as sugar, sea salt, ground coffee, seeds of fruits and berries, as well as dry herbs and flowers. All of these ingredients are often combined with burdock oil. Oil scrubs are usually more delicate, as the oil envelops the scrub particles and they affect the scalp more gently.

Ingredients:

• oil extract of burdock - 10 ml;
• shampoo - 20 ml;
• sugar - 30 g

Shampoo and butter are mixed in one bowl and covered with sugar. Everything is mixed and applied to the skin. After massaging all parts of the head, wash off the mask with warm water.

Ingredients:

• ground pepper - 20 g;
• burdock oil - 30 g;
• ground cinnamon - 20 g;
• ground coffee - 60 g

Cooking Pepper and cinnamon are mixed in the same bowl. Then add butter and coffee to the mixture. All is well mixed and the resulting product is applied to wet hair. It is rubbed into the scalp, and then left for 5-7 minutes. After peeling, wash off with warm water and shampoo.

If the scalp suffers from excessive greasiness, the scrub is repeated every 7 days. If the skin is dry, peeling is performed no more than once every 14 days. The peeling course is repeated every 4 months, and its duration is 3 weeks. The composition of the scrub must be periodically changed, so as not to cause the skin addiction to one tool.

It is recommended to owners of long hair to use salt or sugar as abrasives in peels, which can be easily dissolved in water. The remaining scrubbing particles will be stuck in a long shock of hair, and it will be very difficult to wash them out of the strands.

Burdock oil reviews are almost always positive. Girls and women like the result they see after using this product.

“Hair oil is my salvation. Always tormented with her naughty curly hair. They simply can not normally lay without the use of special tools that spoil the hair. Hair quality was getting worse. I constantly dried them with a flat iron because this was the only thing that saved me.But grandma recently told me about burdock oil. She said that this is the only remedy that helped her (we have the same hair type). How surprised I was when, after using it, I got incredibly soft and docile wavy hair. Why didn't they tell me about him before? Now this is my magic tool, which I know and tell everyone else. ”

“Mom told me about the oil. Or rather, showed. I was surprised at the price of the product. In stores it costs a penny. But mom advises buying it in pharmacies. There, the oil is of higher quality and the result is better. And it is washed off worse. But these are trifles. The main thing is that burdock oil really works and benefits hair. I have them thin and sliced. At first, I thought I wouldn't wash it off. The third time I did it. The first impression is soft hair. Split ends remained split. There was no magic, so the barber's scissors helped. Yes, another nice bonus is that the hair on the comb remains less, this is a huge plus. Now multivitamins and burdock oil are my salvation. I will recommend it to everyone, but I advise you to follow the instructions for applying and not immediately pour half the bottle on your head, otherwise you will have to wash it off for a very long time. ”
