What associations do you have with the word "pepper"? Surely, you mentally imagine something burning, hot and sharp. Yes, pepper is good in moderation, and some do not tolerate it at all. But did you know that it is actively used not only in cooking, but also in cosmetology? For example, a hair mask with pepper tincture can literally work wonders, accelerating the growth of hair by two, or even four centimeters per month. But let's figure it out in order.
So, a hair mask with pepper tincture will always come to the rescue. Not only in those cases when you decide to make curls stronger and stronger, but also in those cases when, alas, you notice thinning and hair loss. A hair mask with pepper tincture will also help restore hair to its former density.
Of course, you can’t wait to unravel the secret of this wonderful plant in all respects. But in fact, its mechanism of action is very simple. Pepper is not only vitamins that are contained in it and directly affect the skin. This is primarily its ability to stimulate blood circulation, expand the pores, thereby allowing the penetration of oxygen, so necessary to the hair follicles. Actually, it was because of these stimulating properties that he became one of the leaders in numerous hair masks.
Now let's see what an ideal hair mask with pepper tincture should be.
Remember the main rule - pepper should be diluted. This is necessary, since the use of only tincture in itself can cause skin burns and allergic reactions. In addition, if there are scratches and abrasions on the skin, then ... I think it’s not worth continuing, have you already imagined what the sensations will be? Of course, in this case, the mask with pepper tincture should wait until the skin is completely healed.
In any case, it is strongly recommended to do it no more than 1-2 times a week, so as not to irritate the skin excessively. And the last warning: if your curls are light, then such a healing remedy - a mask of red pepper - will give them a reddish tint.
And now, if you take into account all the warnings mentioned above, you can proceed directly to the most magical action of turning hair into lush and healthy curls.
The first recipe is very simple: mix in a ratio of 1: 1 pepper tincture and castor oil. After that, apply the mixture to the hair and leave for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water. Castor can be replaced with any oil that is at hand - burdock, olive, sunflower, linseed, etc.
The second recipe: in a glass of kefir (approximately 200 ml) add 2 tablespoons of tincture and apply for 15-20 minutes on the hair. This mask will make your hair silky and relieve dandruff (this is a unique property of kefir).
Of course, if you are starting this method of strengthening and stimulating hair growth for the first time, be sure to check your skin for sensitivity. Apply a little to the skin around the elbow joint. If after a few minutes there is no burning or itching, then you can safely apply the product to the scalp!
