Natural Remedy for Better Results
For a long time, hair and body oils have been popular. Love for them is explained by the absence of contraindications and side effects, preservatives and other chemicals in the composition.
It is pleasant to nourish your own hair and skin, knowing that you bring only benefits. A universal remedy is burdock oil. Apply this product on dry hair regularly to achieve a significant improvement in overall condition. The range of his actions is surprisingly large. In particular, oil is used to
heal wounds, for muscle pain, to improve the general condition of hair and nails. Just think, because all these functions have a simple extract from the
roots of burdock! True, there are nuances of the collection. This burdock should not be more than two years old. The method of processing oil is different from simple extraction. You can call it the method of oil extraction, since the roots of burdock insist on any fatty vegetable oil.
Sesame, peanut, almond or just olive will do.
Cooking technology
If you make oil at home, then the plant should be very young. It is advisable to cook it from September to April. Plants with a dried stem are defined as “marriage”. Burdock must be dug up, and the top must be cut. Leave only strong roots, rinse them well and cut into slices. They need to be filled with oil as soon as they dry. The plant should be infused for at least 20 days. But why such difficulties, if the oil is inexpensive and you can buy it at any pharmacy ?! A bottle will cost you about 50 rubles, and this is far from a single serving. This raises the quite logical question of how much burdock oil to apply to the hair.
With rational use, you will have enough product for about a month, even if you regularly make masks for hair and skin. If you use the oil in its pure form, then about 15 grams will be enough for you at a time. When added to masks, reduce dosage. By the way, in stores you can buy shampoo and cosmetics with burdock oil in the composition. And considering that it perfectly helps in the fight against dandruff, such a purchase can save you from many problems. Flavored oil can be added dropwise to the bath to relax. Such a bath turns into a spa procedure, as the body is simultaneously cleansed and strengthened.
Many doctors recommend this product to their patients as a folk remedy for the speedy healing of wounds. But do not block the glory of oil as an assistant in the fight for beautiful hair and eyelashes.
Application Nuances
To expect a decent effect, you need to know how to apply burdock oil on your hair. Do not forget that all oils have the same property - to penetrate the hair structure. It takes time to fully absorb. If you apply oil to the hair roots, then the effect of a greasy head is guaranteed to you. Moreover, it will be very difficult to wash off the oil from the roots.
There are no
gender restrictions
. You can use the product for both adults and children. With regular use, irritation of the scalp, dandruff and split ends disappear. So, how to apply burdock oil to your hair? It all depends on the time available. If you are in a hurry, then simply rub the oil into your hair in a circular motion. Try to retreat a few centimeters from the roots and be sure to distribute the product to the very tips. If there are several hours left, then insulate your head. To do this, wrap the hair in polyethylene or put on a hat. Spin a towel on top. To increase the effect, you can blow warm air on your head with a hairdryer.
Carefully
Remember, before applying burdock oil to your hair, this is a caring procedure and you need to carry it out carefully. Apply the product on wet hair, but not wet. Wash it off with shampoo. You can even use air conditioning. Flushing technology is also important - start from the roots and go to the ends. By the way, there are secrets to applying - it is better to warm the oil a little in a water bath. But do not overdo it - hot liquid can leave burns on the scalp. The easiest way is to substitute a bottle of oil under a stream of hot water and hold it a little. The content will become warmer and more enjoyable.
On a different base
We have already said that the preparation of burdock oil can be variable. It all depends on the base used.
Actually, it is by this criterion that it is decided which hair to apply burdock oil on. When using almond, olive and other oils, the additional function of the product changes. It can be more beneficial for dry, normal, or oily hair. In any case, the product is obtained with a limited shelf life; just two months, you can store the finished oil, and it is quite moody and requires a cool, dry place to store. And you must carefully select the dishes - let the bottle be dark and preferably glass. If the product is purchased, then be sure to look at the date of manufacture. Why do you need an expired product that has probably already lost its useful properties? In general, cooking oil at home is quite simple, because the roots of burdock will not have to be squeezed out, and the product is obtained as a result of root infusion. So what prevents to repeat the process at home? After all, then you will be completely confident in the naturalness and quality of the product.
Choose oil
If you like hiking in the forest or in the country, you yourself will calmly find the burdock root. Perhaps it grows in your country house. You can buy it at the pharmacy, but most likely already in a processed form. When choosing a base oil for extraction, you can show imagination, because it is not limited. Any liquid oil, for example, olive, sesame, almond, is suitable for you. Do you like aromatic oils? Then try using grape or jojoba oil. They are sold in cosmetic stores. By the way, the last option will be the most successful, since jojoba oil is closest in composition to sebum. By the way, in the literal sense of the word, this is not oil at all, but liquid wax. If you take it as a basis, then the very possibility of poor washability of the product is eliminated. Therefore, it will be more convenient to use oil.
Simple and complex ways
We have already talked about how direct oil extraction occurs. But this is a rather long process that takes at least 20 days. By the way, subsequent straining is required before applying burdock oil to the hair. Under the influence of temperature, you can get oil much faster. Although there are antagonists of such methods that believe that high temperatures degrade the quality of the product. In time, it is necessary to infuse oil with crushed burdock root only a day. And then you need to put the container on a fire or water bath and boil for at least a quarter of an hour. It should be disturbed constantly. And here you have the finished butter. Now it would be nice to find out how to properly apply burdock oil on the hair, so as not to harm, but only to improve their condition. You can make many hair masks based on it. Add more castor oil to the mask - to improve growth. If you use henna or other heavier paints, how much burdock oil should be applied to the hair? Add the product to the balm or to the henna itself and mix well. The mixture should be moderately oily. In the process of absorption, the oil enhances the nutritional effect of the balm.
Make a decoction
And for the most impatient, there is a way to get a ready-made oil-based decoction in order to use it as a rinse or foundation for natural cosmetics. To do this, burdock is poured with boiling water and wrapped in warm tissue. The broth should cool, after which it must be filtered and mixed with oil in approximately equal proportions. The mixture should be infused for about three weeks. Everything, the product is ready.
Do not forget that before applying burdock oil to your hair, you need to warm it to room temperature. There is still a quick but rather complicated way in which butter is cooked in the oven. You will need a pot for roast, where chopped burdock is poured and oil is poured. You can seal it with a test. Now put the pot for three hours in the oven at a temperature of 60 degrees. After the broth you need to strain. At the same time, you can insist on a nettle broth, and after the oil is ready, mix everything to get a mask against hair loss and gray hair.
