In cosmetology, red pepper is added to various creams and oils for skin care, for example, it is a popular cosmetic in the fight against cellulite.

Among folk remedies for hair care, red pepper for hair growth has long been used in the form of alcohol tinctures, and some adherents claim that tincture helps even in case of baldness. The secret of her miracles is that red pepper contains a unique substance - capsaicin, which gives it a burning sensation. By acting on nerve endings, capsaicin promotes blood flow to the hair follicles, thereby stimulating active hair growth. In addition, it was noticed that the hair becomes thicker, as there is an awakening of the so-called sleeping bulbs. Pepper tincture can be bought at the pharmacy, but you can cook it yourself. To do this, one pod of red pepper must be crushed and insisted in a dark place in 100 milliliters of alcohol for three weeks. It is recommended to rub the finished tincture into the scalp once a week.

It is allowed to use egg yolk, honey and liquid vitamins as constituent hair masks . The pepper mask should be applied to the scalp in a slightly warmed form, after which it is necessary to put a plastic cap on the head and wrap it with a warm scarf. Remember pepper for hair growth affects their bulbs, not the hair itself. Therefore, to dry the hair, applying pepper mixture to them, there is no point. Everyone’s skin has different sensitivities, so listen to your feelings during the procedure. In case of discomfort, immediately wash off the mask with warm water using a mild shampoo. It should gently stimulate blood circulation, and not burn the scalp. Do not make a mask if there are wounds or abrasions on the scalp, the procedure will not contribute to their healing.
For oily hair, it is recommended to use pepper tincture diluted with heated water without adding any of the oils. People with allergies should also be careful when carrying out procedures using red pepper for hair.
