It is not necessary to buy yourself something very expensive and beautiful, you can wisely apply everything that our grandmothers still used and check everything in practice. And burdock oil is no exception. It is one of our favorite oils with my daughters. Let's talk about it in more detail today on my blog.
When we set ourselves the goal of freshening up our look for spring, our hair is not the last thing we think about. Haircut, painting, styling - yes, but at the heart of everything - healthy hair... Today's beauty industry offers us hundreds of hair beauty products, restless advertising promises an unsurpassed result, and eyes literally run up from jars in bottles on store shelves. But for some reason I remember how long before this massive boom on "quick beauty" for the beauty of our hair, we used only those products that could be bought in pharmacies, or even use everything that is in the garden.
Yes, yes, I remember how I collected burdock roots, nettles with my girlfriends, made decoctions, how I rinsed my head after washing with chamomile infusion. After all, then all this current abundance was not there, but I still wanted to be beautiful. It is interesting that today, in spite of the whole variety of factory products, and most importantly, their availability, there is a clear tendency to return to natural remedies for beauty. And all kinds of recipes for improving hair are especially popular.
Burdock oil for hair.
Today we'll talk about how you can use burdock oil for hair. You know that oils are a separate topic for me. I really like them really healing properties and pretty noticeable result about the application. Here on the blog, I always try to share with you, dear readers, all the recipes and "benefits" that you can use for your health. Frequent visitors to my blog know that a lot has already been said about oils here. I will continue this topic today, because it is simply impossible to keep silent about such oil as burdock and its effectiveness for hair.
Actually, burdock oil is an oil that is obtained from the roots of large burdock, we usually call this plant in a simple way - burdock. Once upon a time, our great-grandmothers extracted this most miraculous oil on their own. The work is not easy, I can tell you. And I will be glad that today it can be purchased at almost any pharmacy.
Burdock oil for hair growth and strengthening, against hair loss.
Burdock oil is traditionally used to strengthen and grow hair.
We all know that our hair is subject to many factors, the effects of which, to a greater or lesser extent, affect our hair, and often, unfortunately, negatively. This is ultraviolet light, temperature drops, and hard water, chemical attack from hair dyes, thermal damage from styling tools and just mechanical damage when combing. Affects the condition of our hair and disruptions in the general functioning of the body: malnutrition, overwork, vitamin deficiency, and so on.
Often gets annoyed and skin covering scalp. Sometimes everything ends extremely badly, and the hair simply begins to fall out. In general, there are enough problems. Of course, if you wish, you can reduce the influence of the listed harmful factors, monitor nutrition and the state of the body. However, if the problems have already begun, burdock oil will become a kind of "first aid". Although at the expense of speed, no one will give you a 100% guarantee. Hair treatment with burdock oil is a long process.
Burdock oil for hair. Reviews.
If you want to see the first effect, then with daily use of burdock oil, it will be noticeable no earlier than two weeks later. More rare nourishment of hair with burdock oil (at least twice a week) will give a relatively noticeable result in about a month and a half. Although, of course, it all depends on the degree of hair damage. But just burdock oil is known as a remedy for hair loss. It significantly strengthens hair follicles, nourishes and strengthens the roots, preventing hair loss.
Burdock oil for hair. Benefit
Burdock oil is valuable and useful for its composition:
- Contains in quite large quantities vitamins A, E, C, B
- Rich in minerals: calcium, copper, iron, chromium
- It contains stearic and palmic acids, as well as inulin, a substance that perfectly moisturizes not only the hair, but also the scalp. It is thanks to him that the hair becomes smooth and silky, as if enveloped in a film. And inulin also performs a cleansing function, acting as a sorbent, ridding the skin of accumulated fat and dirt.
So, burdock oil helps us:
- Eliminate itching, dry scalp, deal with dandruff
- Restore damaged hair structure. What is very important after dyeing, perming, and sometimes after a long period of regular styling through hot temperatures (hairdryer, curling iron)
- Get rid of split ends and brittle hair, restore vitality, elasticity and shine to them
- Stop hair loss
I suggest watching a video on the benefits of burdock oil.
Burdock oil for hair. Application.
Burdock oil can be applied to both dry and damp hair. But in the second case, the hair should be exactly damp, not wet. That is, after moistening with water, they need to be well blotted with a towel. So that the effect of the oil has best effect, it should be heated a little - to about 40 degrees. Moreover, for this purpose it is better not to use a microwave oven, which by its radiation can reduce the effectiveness of the oil. Better to use a traditional water bath.
In terms of dosage, for shoulder-length hair or slightly below, two tablespoons of oil will be sufficient. Depending on the thickness and length of the hair, you can choose the optimal dosage.
You must first apply the oil to the roots, dividing the hair into partings. And then distribute along the entire length. It is convenient for this to use a comb with fine teeth.
Next, we proceed traditionally: we put on a plastic cap on the hair, you can insulate everything with a towel on top. Leave the mask for a couple of hours and wash off. By the way, it is not so easy to wash off burdock oil from your hair.
How to wash off burdock oil.
It is usually recommended to just wash your hair. regular shampoo by doing this two times in a row. But those who have already used this method of strengthening hair know that after burdock oil it is not always possible to wash the hair well. Especially if the oil was applied to dry hair.
In this case, you can try the following method: dilute 4 tablespoons of rye flour warm water Beat well until the consistency of the mixture becomes similar to pancake dough. Apply the mixture to the hair, rubbing in and, as it were, lathering, leave for 7 minutes. Then rinse your hair with water, massaging well again, and finally wash off the flour that has absorbed the remaining oil.
If you washed off the burdock oil with shampoo, then be sure to apply your favorite balm to your hair. You can also rinse your hair herbal decoction... This will make combing easier. If the rye flour method was used, then it is recommended to use a solution of apple cider vinegar (one tablespoon per liter of water) as a rinse aid. This will give the hair a shine and can be combed easily.
You can apply the described method twice a week. You will not see the first results right away, but the oil will start to “work” for the future. Even if your hair is not in a deplorable state, then such a procedure can be carried out for prevention a couple of times a month.
Burr oil. Hair masks. Recipes.
Several options for hair masks.
Of course, a direct indication for the use of burdock oil is dry, brittle, lifeless hair. However, owners of oily hair have enough problems.
And just burdock oil can help in solving them, despite the fact that at first glance, the method of treatment oily hair oil can cause spores. Yes, you have to endure and take care of your hair more intensively, but the result is worth it.
In addition, the application of burdock oil even on oily hair somewhat reduces the existing secretion of sebum. Roughly speaking, the scalp begins to receive nourishment "from the outside" - from burdock oil, which means that the need to develop its "protection" decreases. So a hair mask, in which burdock oil is the main component, can be successfully used by those with oily hair type.
Burr oil. Mask for oily hair
1 table. a spoonful of burdock oil
1 teaspoon grape seed oil
1 table. a spoonful of grapefruit juice
10 drops of lemon essential oil
Mix and apply to hair as indicated above.
Burr oil. Dry hair mask
Mix burdock oil and wheat germ oil one to one. Heat slightly in a water bath and apply for three hours.
Burdock and castor oil for hair.
Quite often, burdock oil for the treatment and restoration of hair is used with another, equally beneficial for hair health, castor oil. We have already talked about it in the article. Like burdock, castor oil for hair nourishes the scalp, hair roots, prevents hair loss and stimulates hair growth.
Recipe: mix one tablespoon of burdock and castor oil, add one tablespoon of aloe juice. Rub one egg yolk into foam and combine with a mixture of oils and aloe juice. Apply the mask and keep it for about an hour, then rinse it off.
Burdock oil mask for dandruff and split hair ends:
2 egg yolks
1 table. spoon of honey
3 table. tablespoons of burdock oil
You need to keep such a mask for half an hour, and use it at least once a week.
Where to buy burdock oil for hair.
Today, burdock oil is quite easy to find - both in a pharmacy and in cosmetics stores. In the latter, you can often find hair products with burdock oil - shampoos and balms. I still recommend using burdock oil specifically, since in this case its effect will be more effective than if you use burdock oil simply as part of some kind of factory balsam.
By the way, there is a difference between oil and oil. Regular burdock oil is thick and very concentrated. At the same time, today it is possible to purchase analogs that are more "adapted" for use specifically for hair. This oil is lighter in consistency, however, it retains all the necessary nutrients. In general, what can you say here - you need to try and select a suitable option for yourself.
Buying tips. What to look for when buying burdock oil.
I strongly recommend that you always read the composition on the burdock oil bottle label. It should be the main component there and be indicated at the very beginning. Also pay attention to the degree of purification of burdock oil. If the liquid greenish color, that is, the oil has undergone minimal cleaning, then it is better for blondes not to use it - you can unintentionally dye your hair. For those who have light color hair, you should look for burdock oil high degree cleaning - it will be more transparent and lighter.
Burr oil. Price.
In our pharmacy, for 100 ml of oil, the price is about 50 rubles. There are also a little cheaper. There are also more expensive ones. Moreover, there are so many options. And such oil is sold in its pure form, and with castor oil, and with nettle, chamomile, lavender, red pepper, mint, enriched with vitamins, added to shampoos, etc. A whole showcase. For every taste.
This is such a wonderful oil we can use at home to preserve our beauty.
