Usma oil for hair

If every morning you look with horror at the comb, on which almost half of the strand remains, and dream of stopping the loss at any cost, this article is for you. It is all about usma hair oil – perhaps it will bring you closer to your cherished goal.

Usma oil benefits for hair

Usma for hair is very popular in the East. From this herbaceous plant, indigo dye is obtained, which emphasizes the natural beauty of hair and eyebrows, and two types of oil are also made. One – green, almost emerald – hair oil from the leaves and stems of usma. Another – yellow, with a slight greenish tint – oil from the seeds of usma. It is more concentrated: the seed extract is infused with base oil and is not diluted with anything. And green is softer: the oil extract of stems and leaves is combined with grape seed, apricot, almond or peach oil.

Which one to choose depends on your goals. And if the yellow oil of usma is more often used for hair growth and strengthening, then the green one is for their nutrition and restoration.

Both oils are rich:

  • alkaloids that awaken hair follicles, promote the growth of new hair;

  • linoleic acid – it also activates hair growth and protects them from damage;

  • oleic acid, which contributes to the restoration of curls;

  • flavonoids, which are responsible for antioxidant protection and have anti-inflammatory effects;

  • vitamins – thanks to them, the hair becomes alive, strong and looks healthy.

Usma awakens hair follicles and promotes new hair growth.

With regular use of usma oil from hair loss, strands:

  • become thicker and stronger;

  • acquire softness and elasticity;

  • stop fluffing and biting,

  • look healthy and shiny.

Usma oil makes hair half a tone darker, and therefore it is not suitable for blondes who want to maintain a light color.

How to use usma hair oil?

Before we tell you how to use usma oil for hair, let’s name its advantages and disadvantages. Obvious benefits of oil:

  • it is easy to apply and rinse off, does not greasy hair;

  • slowly consumed – just a few drops are rubbed into the roots.

Among the disadvantages:

  • unpleasant, pungent smell of withered grass;

  • relatively high cost and difficulty in acquiring;

  • slight burning and tingling during application of the yellow oil.

Well, now about how to properly use usma hair oil so that it brings maximum benefit and helps solve the problem of hair loss.

The use of usma oil for head massage

How effective usma oil is for strengthening and growing hair, you will understand if you massage it 2 times a week. Dermatocosmetologist, trichologist Maria Nevskaya considers this to be a very useful procedure. The procedure is this.

  1. Cleansing. Use a deep cleansing shampoo or scalp scrub.

  2. Massage. Apply usma oil on the scalp, dividing the hair into partings, and at the same time gently massage it. There may be a slight sting. If the burning sensation is severe, rinse your hair thoroughly with shampoo and stop the procedure.

  3. Stage of growth stimulation. Put on a shower cap, cover your head with a towel and leave the oil on for 2 hours. If it burns and burns the scalp, stop the procedure and wash off the oil!

  4. Final cleansing. Rinse your hair thoroughly with shampoo, then use conditioner or hair balm.

Usma oil stimulates hair growth, improves their structure.

Adding usma oil to cosmetics

The use of usma oil for hair is not limited to massage. Often you can find a recommendation 1-2 times a week to add a few drops of oil to your favorite shampoo, balm, conditioner or mask – at the rate of 2-3 drops per 10 ml of product. We do not recommend mixing such an active ingredient as usma oil with the finished product. Better to use them separately. The fact is that the manufacturer vouches for the effectiveness and safety of the finished product and cannot guarantee any additional effect from the results of amateur cosmetic creativity.
