Hair mask with vitamin B12

The first thing I want to say about the benefits of vitamin B12 for hair is the acceleration of the growth of curls. With its help, you can grow a thick and beautiful hair in a relatively short time. But his actions do not end there. It stops hair loss, makes curls strong and strong. B12 restores damaged hair structure, accelerates regeneration processes, prevents fragility and splitting. When applied to the scalp, the vitamin improves blood circulation and nourishes the hair follicle. Therefore, the curls grow shiny, beautiful and healthy.

Before making masks with vitamin B12, you need to know some rules:

• Vitamin B12 is very capricious, due to the inability to combine it with tocopherol, thiamine, ascorbic acid, niacin, these are vitamins E, B1, C, B3, respectively. They are his antagonists. But it has a very good combination with vitamin B6.
• Since this is still a drug, it can become a provocateur of an allergic reaction. In order not to feel all these pleasures on yourself, you must first check the body's reaction to the vitamin. To do this, apply a little composition to a small area of ​​the skin and wait a couple of hours. If no unpleasant sensations followed, then everything is fine, and B12 can be used for masks.
• Vitamin is supplied in capsules and ampoules. For the preparation of masks, it is better to use the liquid version in ampoules. If there is no option for such use, it is permissible to use tablets, only before use they must be thoroughly crushed and mixed in a small amount of distilled water.
• Unlike other masks, those compositions where vitamin B12 is present do not need to be heated, since an increase in temperature makes the vitamin useless.
• In addition to applying the composition to the hair, the mask must also be rubbed into the scalp, since the main action will take place there.
• Using masks with the use of vitamin B12, there is no need to warm the head, it is enough that after applying the composition, put on a shower cap.
• The duration of the action of masks with the participation of B12 is about half an hour.
• The course of masks with the use of vitamin B12 includes 10 sessions, after which you need to take a mandatory break for one to two months.

These are the main rules that must be followed in order to maximize the effectiveness of the masks. You can prepare the compositions for the procedures at your discretion, choosing the ingredients that suit your hair type. Here are some examples of vitamin B12 hair masks:

• Mix the dry herbs of chamomile, linden and nettle in equal amounts with one large spoon. Pour boiling water over everything and let stand for about half an hour, then strain. Put the bread crumb into the tincture and mash. Pour into the prepared composition a capsule of vitamins B6, B12 and vitamin A. Everything must be mixed and left for another half hour, then applied to the head and hair.
• Combine a couple of spoons of pepper tincture and one ampoule of vitamin B12. Stir and apply to scalp only. Keep on the skin for no longer than a quarter of an hour.
• Combine vitamins B12, B2 and B6. Add them to the beaten egg yolk and pour over a large spoonful of sea buckthorn, almond and burdock oils. This mask can be safely left on the hair for an hour or more.

Vitamin B12 is no less useful for the skin than for the hair. Regular use of the substance leads to the fact that:

• the number of facial wrinkles decreases;

• The easiest way to achieve the effect of vitamin B12 is to apply it to the skin in its pure form and wait a quarter of an hour, then rinse it off. Do not forget to check the drug for the reaction of the body before this in order to avoid allergies.
