Is it possible to cope with alopecia with the help of cosmetics, pharmacy products and recipes for homemade masks against hair loss? Feedback from visitors to thematic forums confirms that yes, this is real. However, there is one caveat: when it comes to a temporary phenomenon associated with insufficient nutrition of the scalp. As our grandmothers said: “For braids to grow well, they must be periodically fed.” If the culprits of the “hair fall” are hormonal disorders, dermatological diseases, or genetics, then, alas, you cannot do without professional medical help.
Let's talk today about the most effective therapeutic products and recipes for home care that will help in the fight against alopecia.

Budget funds that will help in the fight against alopecia
"Mud" from Belita-Vitex - one of the best masks for hair loss. In the reviews, the buyers were satisfied that, despite her density, she does not oily curls and does not steal the natural volume. Immediately after the first application, shine and softness appear, and after a while there is a noticeable decrease in density loss.
Judging by the number of comments, a thick black Moroccan mask from the domestic brand Planeta Organika is no less effective in the fight against alopecia. The formula is based on several natural oils whose action is aimed at strengthening the roots and moisturizing the length. A thick consistency can scare heterogeneity.

A lot of rave reviews have been written about the mask for hair loss by Aasha Herbals. The formula is based on colorless henna - a well-known natural remedy that has a strengthening effect.

After application, the mixture may slightly chill or tingle the skin. There is nothing to worry about. Recommended course of treatment: at least 6 procedures and not more than once a week. The only drawback: due to the presence of henna, the product is able to give red hair to curls. Therefore, Aasha Herbals is contraindicated in blondes.
Detox BC Bonacure Scalp Genesis
The appearance and beauty of our hairstyle directly depends on the condition of the scalp. With this in mind, Schwarzkopf experts have developed a new series for salon care and home use.

Horse Force Nourishing Mask
About the products of this brand does not know only the lazy. As you know, the result of using many brand products causes an ambiguous reaction, but there are surprisingly more positive reviews about Horsepower mask from hair loss than negative ones. Therefore, in order not to be unfounded, we turn to the main part - the active substances. So, the following components are responsible for the effectiveness of the product:
- Hyaluronic acid - provides intensive hydration, the fastest recovery after serious damage and easy combing.
- Vitamins and amino acids - stimulate growth, and most importantly strengthen the roots.
- Jojoba oil - supplies hair with natural wax, which protects them from the effects of dyes.
- Citric acid - prevents the appearance of fungus and dandruff on the skin.
- Lactic acid - helps retain moisture, protecting it from drying out, productively cleanses the skin of dead cells.
- Pepper extract - improves the functioning of the follicles, thereby stimulating growth and saving from hair loss.
In reviews of the “Melting” hair mask, they do not recommend the product to those who adhere to natural care, since, in addition to the above components, sulfates and silicones are present in the composition, albeit in small quantities. As you know, the presence of these substances will nullify all your efforts from previous care.
Application: evenly apply the product on clean, washed, damp hair, wait 10 minutes and rinse with warm water.
Hair Therapy by Alcoy Farm
A series of therapeutic agents based on homeopathic tablets "Selenzin" consists of shampoo, balm, lotion and mask. It is not worth waiting for the effect of using only the last resort. Indeed, according to most reviews of the mask from hair loss "Selenzin Khair Therapy", there is no need to wait for a miracle. Why? For an answer to this question, it is better to refer to the composition:
- hydrolyzed lupine protein;
- extracts of hot pepper, burdock and nettle;
- caffeine;
- glycerol.
The formula does not have the main substances that will help in the fight against alopecia: aminexil, B vitamins, minerals, niacinamide. Of course, the listed components perfectly affect the dermis of the head, improving its condition and preventing alopecia, but the product will not be able to cope with excessive loss. In addition, several women with sensitive epidermis complained that dry skin appeared after using the mask, and their curls became stiff in length.
Despite the shortcomings, there were positive reviews about the hair mask for hair loss “Khair Therapi”, in which women mentioned the following advantages:
- pleasant aroma;
- delicate texture;
- ease of use;
- the curls became more shiny and soft;
- brittleness disappeared.
Onion masks
Very popular, and most importantly - an easy way to combat alopecia. Despite this, the reviews about the onion hair mask against hair loss are very mixed. Some for the sake of the result are ready to tolerate a specific smell, while the latter are advised to forget about this idea and pay attention to other folk recipes. In any case, there is no one indifferent to the onion ambulance.
Until you join the squad of the latter, let's find out which substances that are in the composition of the vegetable have a beneficial effect on curls:
- Essential oils and glycosides - give a specific smell that repels many women from using the mask. But thanks to them, microcirculation of the scalp improves.
- Sulfur - stimulates the epidermal tissues, thereby activating the growth of new hairs.
- Phytoncides - have therapeutic and bactericidal properties.
- Vitamin H and organic acids - regenerate the damaged structure.
- Potassium - eliminates fat.
- Niacin - restores color and strengthens weakened curls.
- Ascorbic acid - saturates cells with oxygen.
If you are determined and ready to endure a specific aroma, then write down the recipe for an effective hair mask for hair loss. Hair after it will not only cease to “crumble”, but their growth will also be activated. So, take 40 ml of onion juice and brandy, add the yolk and mix thoroughly until smooth. Rub the roots with rubbing movements, and apply cosmetic oil to the ends. Wash off after half an hour using shampoo.
The best mustard mask recipe
The easiest way to cook consists of just 4 ingredients. But first, it should be recalled that, by increasing the amount of sugar, “burning” is enhanced, so it is worth being careful with the dosage.
Mix 2 tablespoons of burdock oil and mustard powder, add the yolk and 1 tbsp. l Sahara. You should get a thick mass, which should be diluted with two tablespoons of warm water. Apply the finished composition strictly on the scalp, and not in length. If the curls are dry, you can treat them with a little warmed olive, coconut or the same burdock oil. After 15-60 minutes, wash your hair with shampoo. A moderate burning sensation is a completely natural reaction, but if it burns unbearably, rinse immediately and reduce the amount of sugar next time.
In the reviews about the mask with mustard from hair loss, it is recommended not to get carried away and do it depending on the type of curls:
- normal - 1 time per week;
- dry - not more than once every 10 days;
- fatty - every 5 days.
In addition, many women shared their methods of applying mass. The most popular was the option with a large syringe. Throw the needle, pull in the mustard mask and distribute it along the parting.
Essential oils: a small drop is a big deal
In India, to combat alopecia, it is customary to use hot sesame oil, which is previously insisted on lemon grass or rosemary. Local healers against the “shedding” of curls prescribe to patients essential oils of naioli, ylang-ylang, juniper, roses and patchouli - all of them help to relax the scalp, protect the length and improve blood circulation.
According to reviews, the most effective mask for hair loss is prepared on the basis of 4 teaspoons of grape oil. In the base, add 2 drops of thyme and cedar oil, and 3 drops of rosemary and lavender. To enhance the effect, you can dilute 0.5 tsp. jojoba oil. Warm the composition slightly in a glass bowl, then dip your fingers into it and massage your scalp.
Cooking a mask with vitamins in ampoules
Before proceeding to the recipe, it is important to know a few rules that will help you avoid the most common mistakes:
- Be sure to do an allergy test.
- Shake the vial before use.
- Vitamin-based masks do not store, and each time they prepare a new one.
- The liquid consistency is rubbed into the roots with massaging movements, and the thick consistency is distributed along the length of the wet curls.
- Be sure to create a greenhouse effect with cellophane / shower caps and a bath towel.
- If the mixture contains no oils, rinse without using shampoo.
And now to the main thing ...
In the reviews, the most effective masks for hair loss were called warming with pepper and based on burdock oil.
To prepare the “burning” mixture, you will need to mix the ampoule B 12 with 2 tablespoons of pepper tincture, which is sold in each pharmacy. Rub the composition into the roots and leave for 15 minutes in the greenhouse effect.
The second mask is also applied to the scalp and consists of two tablespoons of slightly heated burdock oil and an ampoule of vitamin B 6 . Leave for an hour under insulation, then rinse. To enhance the effect, you can rinse your hair with a decoction of chamomile. And if you want to solve the problem of dullness, add one teaspoon of honey and lemon juice to the mask.
Last Bonus
In the end, as a pleasant surprise, we offer 3 more recipes that have collected the most enthusiastic reviews.
The mask for hair loss at home is prepared from just one ingredient - olive oil. This method is more recommended for prevention, in the case when alopecia has not reached terrifying proportions. Take 1/4 cup oil and lightly heat in a water bath. Dial a small amount with your fingertips and gently rub in with massaging movements. Next, create a greenhouse effect and forget about your curls for a few hours. Rinse under a warm stream of water and using shampoo. The procedure can be carried out in courses of 15 sessions or nourish the roots regularly 1-2 times a week.
To stop alopecia, you need to take follicle strengthening seriously. A spoonful of honey, 3 drops of essential oils of cedar and rosemary and yolk will help you with this. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and spread the mass from the roots along the entire length. Create heat and rinse off after half an hour.
And finally, another mask recipe for hair loss. The reviews recommend it to those who do not have time to keep the composition for more than 10 minutes. For cooking, you need to mix 4 tsp. grape seed oil with 1/5 tsp jojoba. Then add 3 drops of rosemary and lavender esters to the composition, as well as 2 thyme and cedar.
To strengthen at times the effects of all home remedies against loss will help a laser comb, which has a beneficial effect on the scalp, nourishing the roots. In combination with masks, it will help reduce or completely stop loss, making hair strong, soft and shiny.
