Sea buckthorn hair oil: medicinal properties and methods of use

The benefits of sea buckthorn oil have long been known.Every girl who looks after her health knows about this wonderful and inexpensive remedy. This article will discuss in detail the effect of this oil on the condition of the hair.

Sea buckthorn as a plant is a high thorny shrub up to 2 m in length, growing on the territory of Europe and Asia, India and Pakistan. Fruits from which the oil is produced directly are also suitable for human consumption.

Oily liquid is obtained by squeezing the berries: the best cold, to preserve the maximum utility. It has an amber color and rich aroma that is not confused with anything.

The use of sea buckthorn oil is very widespread both in medicine and in cosmetology - due to the presence in the composition of a large amount of vitamins and microelements.

• seleniumthat removes heavy metals from the body, strengthens the immune system, improves the structure of the hair follicles;
• copperparticipating in the processes of formation of collagen and elastin, makes curls elastic, increases the color saturation (due to the presence of melanin in the pigment).

Fatty acid:

• palmitic, activating cell regeneration of the scalp, increases the growth rate of strands;
• palmitoleicwhich has antimicrobial properties, soothes, softens and deeply nourishes the epidermis;
• linoleic, improves metabolism, increases protein digestibility, reduces skin dryness, fights dandruff;
• stearic, creating a protective film on the surface of the epidermis, naturally softening it, easily copes with excess fat.

The use of an oily liquid for prophylactic purposes (to maintain the normal functioning of the skin of the head and the hair itself) is justified. Here are the problems that such products will cope without much difficulty:

• Strands grow slowly, oily scalp. Excessive production of sebum leads to blockage of pores, which becomes an obstacle to the normal growth of curls. Fatty acids gently clean the epidermis, and the hair is spurred to growth.
• Split ends spoil the look, hair is constantly confused, and combing is difficult and causes constant discomfort. Cutting the ends once in 1.5-2 months will help with the trouble. However, such a step does not always help out. Sea buckthorn oil, used as a mask, will transform the hair along its entire length, will restore the damaged structure.
• Dandruff is often the result of dry scalp. Unpleasant white "flakes" on clothes cause embarrassment and shame. Vitamins and minerals nourish problem areas, moisturize and soften, make you forget about the difficulties experienced.

• Not only women face hair loss. Frequent stress, negative environmental factors, age-related changes in the body - all this can cause baldness. Regular use of oil will protect its owner from such problems.
• Gray hair, indicating the occurrence of a certain agecan also be defeated with oil. Due to the presence of copper in the composition of sea buckthorn "will push away" the signs of premature aging. This is not a panacea, but in order to prevent it is worth thinking about the masks with a useful composition.
• Dull, weakened strands are well influenced by cosmetic oil. Periodically applying a tool for the entire length of the hair, you can achieve an excellent result. Hair will look much better, will shine healthy shine.

The use of cosmetics based on or with the addition of sea buckthorn oil for all types of hair has been proven by scientists and has been repeatedly confirmed by enthusiastic comments from people who at least once used the tool. The therapeutic properties of the product are appreciated by various consumers:

1. Men trust the drug, which is successfully used against hair loss and tired dandruff.
2. Mature women praise such products for their ability to “push back” the signs of premature aging.
3. Ladies to thirty, often ruining the hair dryer and a variety of styling products, remain true to the oil as a restorative and nourishing composition.
4. Dyed blondes are constantly faced with brittleness, overdrying and lifeless hair. They note a gradual improvement in the overall condition of the skin and hairstyle with regular exposure funds.
5. Girls who look after their health and appearance value their products for their availability and low price. After all, expensive salon procedures for hair care are easily replaced by the use of natural and healthy products at home.

The question of utility is only rarely considered separately from harm. If we touch on the discussion of the possible harmfulness of oil, it is worth noting only a hypothetical individual intolerance to a specific consumer.

Practical gardeners who grow such a useful plant at their summer cottage are quite capable of preparing such valuable products on their own. To make oil at home, you need to harvest ripe, juicy fruits and select the best of them. Then the berries are thoroughly washed and dried well.

The following procedure is the grinding of the pulp with a tolkushka (in a glass or enamel bowl). Then the contents are filtered through a double layer of gauze, unnecessary oil is ejected, but the healing juice is poured into a separate glass vessel. Day in a dark place is given to ensure that the liquid is settled.

Oil is naturally separated from the juice, it will be visible on the appeared greasy spots on the surface of the composition. You can collect the useful part with a pipette, spoon or syringe without a needle. The product, ready to use, is poured into a tightly closed container (for further storage).

It is worth noting that oil is produced by cold pressing. There is also the possibility of making an elixir by mixing heated olive oil or any vegetable oil with crushed sea buckthorn berries. However, the carotenoids that make up the product are easily destroyed by temperature exposure.For this reason, cold pressing is considered preferable (in terms of preserving the maximum usefulness of vitamins and microelements).

If there are no ripe fruits of a medicinal plant, you can simply buy the liquid in almost any pharmacy. After reading customer reviews, we can conclude that it is much easier to buy oil than to create it yourself, especially considering the low cost of the product.

To strengthen the curls, give them strength and a healthy look, you need to constantly care for them. The preparation of cosmetic masks based on sea buckthorn oil is perfect for hair care.

To activate the growth of strands used a mixture of "Dimexidum" and sea buckthorn oil. First you need to talk about the first component.

"Dimexide" is a potent drug with antimicrobial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, local anesthetic properties. He is able to perfectly penetrate through the biomembrane cells, increasing the permeability of tissues for other substances.

Apply "Dimexide" must be very careful not to get burned. 10% solution of the drug is diluted in proportion 1 (water): 9; 20% - 1: 8; 30% - 1: 3.

The mask itself is obtained by mixing an oily liquid and “Dimexide” diluted with water in an equal ratio (1 tablespoon). The mixture with light massage movements is applied to the root part and the dermis, left to act for 20 minutes. Wrap the head with a plastic bag and cover it with a towel. A slight tingling is allowed, which indicates the penetration of the mask into the surface tissue. After that, it is thoroughly washed with shampoo.

The procedure can be carried out 1-2 times a week. As a result, the growth of hair is activated, inflammation disappears, the sebaceous glands function is normalized.

The rate of regrowth of curls can be a remedy consisting of burdock oil and sea buckthorn (with the addition of an infusion or burning pepper extract). Burdock and sea buckthorn, taken in equal proportions (1 teaspoon), mixed with 10 drops of peppermint liquid. The mixture is applied to the scalp, while it is necessary to carry out a light massage. The mask is absorbed within half an hour.

Rubber gloves can be used to avoid skin irritation. It is necessary to do everything very carefully so that the tool does not get into the eyes. After some time, the mask is thoroughly washed off with shampoo.

Perhaps a temporary redness of the skin after the procedure. This fact indicates the effects of substances on the epidermis.

"Glue" split ends will help composition made from castor oil and sea buckthorn. The first ingredient contributes to the development of its own keratin, a very important substance that helps to keep the hair structure intact.

To create a mask you will need 2 tablespoons of both oils and 1 egg yolk, added as a natural emulsifier. All components are thoroughly mixed to form a homogeneous mass and applied to the entire length. Special attention is paid to the ends. With regular use (1 time per week) of this product for 1-2 months, the condition of the strands improves markedly. Damaged tips “stick together”, hair looks healthy and shiny.

A simple mask of mustard powder, water and sea buckthorn is able to restore the weakened curls. Mustard - a plant that is considered a natural antiseptic.It perfectly fights against inflammation, pollution, excessive fat content. It is worth noting the probability of individual intolerance of mustard. To exclude it, it is necessary to conduct an allergotest on the inner bend of the elbow.

To prepare the mask, mustard powder (2 tablespoons) must be diluted in a small amount of warm water, and then combined with oil. It is necessary to spread the obtained mass of the scalp, wait 30 minutes. Then you need to wash it off with shampoo. The constant use of such a composition will restore the health of the dermis.
