Hair masks

Hair can be beautiful and long, but if it is runny, it is unlikely that this will suit the owner. A thick braid has always been considered an attribute of femininity and attractiveness, but nature has not endowed everyone with such wealth from birth. Do not despair, you can take effective measures that will make your hair irresistible.

How to make your hair thick

It would seem that what is given by nature can only be corrected by artificial means. This is correct, but only in part. Hair from birth can have the same thickness, but with age it becomes noticeably thinner. This happens for many reasons, but one thing is clear, some hair follicles go into hibernation, and to make the curls thicker, you need to wake them up. If the hair is sparse and this is the result of heredity, then the only way to make the curls tighter is to thicken the hair itself. As a result, the hair will look thicker.

A head massage technique can be used to awaken the dormant bulbs. The effect of such a procedure will be much stronger if you use various means in addition. For example - cedar oil. It should be applied to the scalp in a small amount and gently, massage the head with the pads of your fingers, as if rubbing it. The duration of the procedure is about fifteen minutes. At the end, you need to wash your head.

If you wash your hair daily, then for the massage mixture you can use a composition of burdock oil in the amount of a small spoon and a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice. After a head massage, this mixture should be washed off the hair immediately.

Another healing composition for hair that will make it thicker is prepared as follows. Mash the herbs of rosemary, basil, sage and mint in equal amounts and transfer to a glass container. Pour in a couple of glasses of apple vinegar, add three drops each of lavender and peppermint oils, cover and let sit for a couple of weeks. The ready-made composition is used as follows: in a glass of warm boiled water, dilute a couple of large spoons of the prepared infusion and rub everything into the dermis of the head while making a massage. This procedure is performed once a week. It is not necessary to wash it off your head, but if necessary, you can wash your hair after a couple of hours.

There is also a summary of rules and tips that are proven by experience and scientifically based. All of them help to improve the condition and thickness of the hair.

• Watch what you eat. The result you see on your hair is the end result. The hair follicle is nourished through the blood, and the condition of the blood is determined by your diet. Healthy foods are good, but your hair needs vitamins A, B, E and C to make up the bulk of its nutrition. Therefore, check to see if they are in the foods that make up your diet.
• Excessive use of styling products negatively affects the condition of the hair. In addition to the fact that they begin to weaken, become dull, split, their density also suffers significantly. If you cannot do without such personal belongings, then try to select them as suitable as possible for your type of curl.
