“She is rich on a braid” – this is how they used to say about a girl with beautiful hair for a long time. For the king, girls were allowed to look at brides and not very noble birth, but with good external data. For the owner of a long and thick braid, the chances of marriage increased significantly. Woman`s Day offers folk recipes that helped girls have hair worthy of a royal bride.
To begin with, take a note of a few simple rules:
- We cut only on the growing moon;
- “100 strokes”. Before going to bed, comb it with a natural bristle brush, while brushing it through the hair at least a hundred times;
- try to rinse your hair while washing your hair. Dip them into a container – a bath or a basin – and just move your head left and right for a minute. Let your hair “float” freely in the water, this is very good for strengthening the roots.
The main helpers in strengthening and stimulating hair growth are decoctions of birch leaves, nettle, coltsfoot and burdock roots. Especially these recipes should be paid attention to those whose hair is prone to oily.
- Birch Scalp Lotion: 2 tablespoons of birch buds and leaves pour 0,5 liters of boiling water, as it cools down – strain. After each hair wash, rub into the scalp and do not rinse.
- Nettle it is best to use May, young. 5 shoots (or 3 tablespoons of dry grass) pour a liter of cold water and bring to a boil in a water bath. Cool, filter. You can rub in, or you can just rinse. A decoction from the root is prepared according to the same recipe. Burdock.
- 3 tablespoons of leaves and flowers mother-and-stepmothers add a liter of boiling water, let it cool and use it as a lotion for hair roots.
This treatment is recommended for owners of dry and normal hair. You should try to apply the nutrient composition directly to the roots, and then wrap your hair with plastic and a towel.
- The easiest way to strengthen and accelerate hair growth is to use burdock oil. We rub it into the scalp an hour before washing your hair 2 times a week. The result is noticeable in the first month.
- Yeast has a beneficial effect on hair growth. Moreover, the recipe for the mask is similar to the preparation of kneading dough: add 2 part of a small pack of yeast and 4 tablespoons of sugar to warm water (2 cups). Leave for 45 minutes, then rub into the roots. We wrap the head for 30 minutes and rinse the hair thoroughly.
- Mask based on egg yolk: add a tablespoon of cottage cheese and egg yolk to a tablespoon of liquid honey. Apply to the roots and leave for 15–20 minutes, then wash off with shampoo and balm. Egg masks will tangle your hair, so conditioner should be used to ease brushing.
- Onions are used to strengthen the roots. The onion is grated and squeezed. A tablespoon of honey and 4 tablespoons of a decoction of burdock roots are added to the juice. Apply for 10 minutes, rinse. The mask is not suitable for sensitive skin. If you feel a burning sensation, wash off the composition immediately.
