Beautiful, lush hair is a treasured possessionthe dream of many women, but not all of them have been blessed with such wealth by nature, and not all of them have enough money for expensive cosmetic procedures. Despite the seemingly hopeless situation, there is a way out - folk recipes for hair care. A lot of products that any housewife has in her kitchen can be used to restore and nourish the scalp to make your hair lush and beautiful with minimal losses to your wallet.
Sunflower oil and hair beauty
Many women with beautiful hair,know that regular sunflower oil can be used especially effectively for hair. Vitamins B, A, D, C, as well as linoleic, oleic and palmitic acids contained in sunflower oil not only have a positive effect on the hairs along their entire length, but are also able to activate dormant hair follicles. Vegetable oils for hair are an excellent way to care for your hair, allowing you to quickly achieve results. Proper use of sunflower oil helps to heal microcracks that constantly form on the scalp, get rid of dandruff, reduces oiliness, promotes growth and prevents aging of hair follicles. The oil should be used as the main component for masks, but not as an independent remedy, since an excess of active components contained in the oil can negatively affect the condition of the hair. It is worth saying a few words about the choice of sunflower oil, since not every one is suitable for cosmetic purposes. The more cleaning procedures the oil has undergone, the less useful it is. The best option is unrefined oil, which is currently only available at markets. Typically, this is unrefined cold- or hot-pressed sunflower oil, which is obtained during the processing of sunflower seeds and has not undergone any further processing.
Masks for hair restoration
There are a number of masks based onsunflower oil, which can bring your hair into order in the shortest possible time. The main thing in this matter is to properly prepare and use the mask. So, to prepare the first option, you will need about 0.5 lemon, 5 tbsp. sunflower oil, 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar. First, place half a lemon in a blender and grind to a pulp. Next, carefully separate the juice obtained from the lemon from the pulp and place it in a separate bowl. Vegetable oil for hair requires preliminary preparation. To do this, it needs to be slightly warmed up, but in no case should it be allowed to boil. It needs to be just warm. The desired effect can be achieved by heating sunflower oil in a double boiler. With this method of preparing sunflower oil, it is possible to preserve all the nutrients contained in it. The heated oil needs to be mixed with freshly squeezed juice and vinegar and mixed thoroughly to obtain a homogeneous mixture. The resulting mixture must be applied to the head and covered with polyethylene. This mask must be kept for at least half an hour, after which it is necessary to thoroughly lather the head with herbal shampoo and not rinse for a long time so that the residue comes off completely. If necessary, it is worth washing the head several times. To restore hair, you can use another, no less effective recipe for making a mask. In advance, it is worth preparing about 3 tbsp. melted honey, 5 tbsp. sunflower oil and about ½ cup herbal decoction. All ingredients should be thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous consistency is obtained and set aside for about 2 hours in a warm place. This mask should be applied to slightly damp hair for at least 2 hours. After it is applied to the hair, you need to put on a shower cap and tie a towel over it. It is necessary to wash off with herbal shampoo. Any options for restorative masks should be used at least 3 times a week. The effect can be achieved in just one week. Hair becomes healthier and shinier, and many women also note that after applying masks, hair is much easier to comb and more manageable.

For many people, the main problem isdandruff, which is very difficult to remove, even using very expensive medicinal shampoos. This problem occurs because the scalp dries out and begins to peel, and in advanced cases, even fungal infection of the skin is possible. Scalp masks will help eliminate this problem. It is necessary to choose the right vegetable oils for hair and scalp to achieve a calming effect. To prepare a soothing mask for the scalp, you will need 1 teaspoon of sunflower, burdock, lavender, and geranium oils. All oils must be thoroughly mixed and applied with a brush to the skin, as well as to the ends of the hair. Do not apply the oil mixture along the entire length of the hair, as it will be problematic to wash it off later. After applying the mask, you need to keep it on for at least 1.5 hours, after which you need to wash your hair several times with shampoo to wash off the unabsorbed oil residues from the scalp. Using vegetable oil as a component for making masks allows you to improve the health of your hair. Active components contained in vegetable oils prevent hair follicles from aging and scalp from drying out. Correct use of folk remedies for hair care allows you to get the desired result in the shortest possible time. It is important to choose the right mask recipe to solve a particular problem.
