Niacin for hair

Nicotinic acid is another cheap beauty product that can be purchased at the pharmacy.

Despite the word "nicotine", it has nothing to do with tobacco or cigarettes in general, it is the most vitamin B3, aka PP. With its help, you can get rid of baldness and accelerate hair growth. But first things first.

The use of niacin for hair

Nicotinic acid is ideal for hair care at home, and the effectiveness of such procedures can be seen after a few sessions. It can be added to various hair masks, enriched with ampoules of shampoos and balms, or simply used in pure form on clean hair, since it does not require rinsing. The peculiarity of this vitamin is that it very quickly saturates the hair roots with vitamins, helps to restore the hair structure. Those. besides the fact that the hair after it will grow faster, so they will also be healthy. Nicotinic acid is quickly absorbed into the epidermis, has a positive effect on blood vessels, improving their elasticity and strengthening them.

A big plus of niacin is its versatility. There are no restrictions on the use of hair type. On the contrary, whatever the original material, the acid will heal it, oily hair, for example, will become dirty more slowly, therefore, they will have to be washed much less often. The drug has no smell, so there will be no trouble in working with it. Do not worry that nicotinic acid does not need to be washed off the hair, it does not leave behind any traces - no stickiness, grease and smell - the acid itself is very similar in consistency to water.

The only thing worth paying attention to is that nicotinic acid can cause allergies, so before using it, be sure to carry out an appropriate test on the inner bend of the elbow. Only if after a few hours, or better during the day, there is no negative reaction, you can safely apply it to the hair roots. It is worth for a while to abandon the use of the drug if there are wounds and cuts on the head, and if the skin on the head is sensitive, then you should be extremely careful with nicotinic acid.

Niacin for hair growth

Niacin for hair is mainly used for two main purposes - to stop hair loss and to accelerate hair growth. It is worth noting that if you use the drug correctly, then she copes with both tasks with a bang. If there is a problem with hair loss, it is important to take treatment measures on time, since the longer the measures are delayed, the longer the treatment will take afterwards. In both cases, the most common application is neat.

After the head and hair are rinsed and dried, open one ampoule and start applying the composition to the hair, disassembling it in parting for convenience. Since it is not necessary to apply the drug on the hair itself, one ampoule is enough for everyone, regardless of the thickness and length of the hair. Once the ampoule is empty, run your fingertips towards the roots and massage gently, rubbing in the niacin and spreading it over a wider area. That's all, as already mentioned, you do not need to wash it off.

The duration of hair treatment with nicotinic acid is 30 sessions. Those. all treatment will require 30 ampoules and can be purchased in advance. When working with nicotinic acid, many girls make a huge mistake (pouring the contents of all ampoules into another storage container for convenience), which nullifies all the results, and then complain that the drug is not working and all this is nonsense. So, if you do not want to be among them, remember a very important rule - vitamins disappear very quickly, so you need to open the ampoules immediately before applying to the hair. It takes only one hour of contact with air, as all useful substances are reduced to almost zero.

If after the first application you feel unpleasant sensations, next time try to dilute it with water, or use it as an ingredient in a mask, since such a reaction indicates that the drug is not suitable for you in its pure form.

Hair masks with niacin

Since nicotinic acid is very often used in its pure form, there are not as many masks with its participation as we would like. Nevertheless, they are:

• In a bowl, arrange an ampoule of nicotine, 20 ml of aloe juice and the same amount of propolis tincture. Apply the prepared mixture to the hair and roots, leaving for an hour and a half. The duration of the course of treatment is at least ten sessions.
• Combine one unit of niacin, 15 ml of flaxseed oil, 10 ml of tocopherol acetate, and one chicken egg. Whisk everything thoroughly and apply to roots and hair. Leave on curls for half an hour or an hour, then rinse and rinse with a little acidified water.

By the way, masks for hair with niacin can be invented by yourself, choosing as ingredients products that are suitable for the type of hair. This vitamin combines very well with honey, ginger, herbal tinctures and decoctions, essential and olive oils. As auxiliary elements, the addition of liquid vitamins A and E is welcome, which also have a beneficial effect on the condition of the hair.

Reviews of niacin for hair

In some sources, which in one way or another are devoted to nicotinic acid, you can see just fabulous promises that in a month hair grows as much as 15 cm. To believe in this, of course, is super-naive. Yes, niacin is good for enhancing hair growth, but 15cm is too much.

This despite the fact that, according to the established standards, healthy hair grows a centimeter without additional techniques. Those. nicotine increases growth by 3-4 times, and this is already a good result. The drug also saved hundreds of girls from hair loss, who have already got used to using it in advance in the autumn-spring period.
