Coloring and styling your hair, especially with the use of high temperatures, unfortunately weakens its condition. Hormonal changes in our body are also to blame. Sooner or later, in the absence of proper care, the hair becomes brittle, loses its shine and begins to fall out.
We present the recipe for a homemade hair rinse using horsetail and its other uses.
Why is horsetail so important for hair?
Because horsetail stabilizes the activity of the sebaceous glands, it allows the hairstyle to stay fresh for longer. It has an antibacterial effect on the scalp, allows you to regenerate the hair structure. The bulbs are strengthened, which is why we lose less hair. Horsetail herb stimulates hair growth and also gives them shine. However, it should not be overused as it can dry out the hair.
Horsetail provides hair with invaluable vitamins and minerals, especially silica, known for its antioxidant effect, which helps to reduce the harmful effects of free radicals.
In addition, horsetail is rich in potassium and silicon, which not only strengthen the hair, but slow down its graying. Silicon is related to the keratinization of the hair, contributes to its shine and thickness. It is recommended to use horsetail for problems related to hair loss, weakness and dryness.
