Healing herbs for hair.
Folk remedies to accelerate hair growth. Both women and men dream of beautiful and healthy hair. To give volume, shine and strength to your curls, you can use medicinal plants containing various biologically active substances, vitamins and microelements.
Summer is precisely the time when medicinal herbs acquire special power. Decoctions and hair masks made from medicinal herbs will help get rid of dandruff, give your hair shine, rich color and a healthy appearance. Herbal treatment in the summer is a very affordable method that will require minimal costs and not too much time from you.
Herbalist Marina Borovkina believes: “Homemade hair care products have their advantages. They contain only natural ingredients, without synthetic additives, and are rich in many biologically active substances.”
Rules to follow.
When using traditional medicine recipes, it is important to observe some nuances. Or rather, there are only three of them:
- Hair masks prepared independently from medicinal herbs require insulation. After applying them to your hair, you need to put on a plastic cap, with a warm cap or a large towel on top. Under the influence of heat, the hair scales open and the active components penetrate deeper.
- If you use decoctions of medicinal herbs as a rinse, do not dry your hair with a hairdryer. After washing, wrap your head in a towel and leave for half an hour.
- Then dry your hair naturally.
It is not difficult to prepare these folk remedies. Especially in the summer, all this is at hand. You just need to go out into the garden, go to the forest or field, and prepare everything you need for the product you like.
Hair balm with carrot juice.
Carrot juice is rich in antioxidants and beta-carotene, which provide hair protection from harmful UV rays. In addition, carrot juice promotes healthy hair growth. It improves blood circulation in the scalp, which in turn reduces the problem of hair loss.
To prepare the balm you will need 50 ml of freshly squeezed carrot juice and 30 ml of lemon juice. Both juices are combined, mixed well and rubbed into the scalp with light massaging movements. The remaining juice is distributed over the entire length of the hair, put on a plastic cap and wrapped in a towel. After 1 hour, wash the hair with warm water and shampoo. Folk remedies using carrot juice will protect your hair from the negative effects of ultraviolet rays and give it beauty and silkiness.
Beer mask for hair growth
An excellent remedy, but - alas! - only for brunettes. Beer can give yellowish tint to light (natural) or bleached hair. No additional ingredients are required - you just need a glass of intoxicating drink. The hair is well moistened (especially at the roots), a light massage is done with your fingertips over the bathtub or sink for about five minutes. Then the curls are twisted and secured with a bun. The mask is left for an hour (or until dry).
To prevent beer from dripping onto your face during the process, you will need a cotton scarf or scarf rolled into a rope. It is tied around the head below the hairline, and the hairstyle is covered with a cellophane cap.
Hair compress with grapes.
A compress with grape berries is a healing SPA procedure for weakened, brittle and dull hair. Especially for hair that is exposed to blow drying every day.

Folk remedies using grape berries will help maintain healthy hair, and restore vitality to dull, brittle and weakened hair.
Precautions before use
Before using any remedies based on folk recipes, you need to take precautions.
Allergy test
Unfortunately, allergic reactions are an insidious thing. They can appear from exposure to even the most seemingly harmless ingredients.
Therefore, before applying the composition to the scalp, it is necessary to conduct a test on a small area of skin (most often the test is done on the bend of the elbow, where the skin is very thin).
If redness, swelling or severe itching or burning appears, using the composition will do more harm than good.
Is it possible to make a mask if your hair is dry?
Of course, you can make masks that stimulate the growth of curls for dry, weakened hair . You just need to carefully select the ingredients: in this case, you should not make masks based on alcohol, pepper or mustard.
But oil compositions, mixtures with honey and egg yolk will restore shine to dry, brittle strands.
Homemade masks can be an excellent alternative to professional hair care procedures.
Simple ingredients, budget-friendly execution and excellent results - this is what makes home-made formulations favorites among skincare cosmetics.
Hair lotion with rose petals.
The rose is a symbol of femininity, youth, beauty, love and happiness. Rose petals nourish and moisturize the scalp and make hair silky. If your hair is dry and coarse, then after using rose petal lotion, it becomes vibrant, shiny, so... real, as it should be.
To prepare the lotion, we will need 100 g of dried rose petals from our garden. But under no circumstances are they purchased. They are of no use, but can cause a lot of harm. Rose petals are placed in a glass vessel and 100 ml of vodka is poured. Close the lid tightly and leave for 8 days, shaking the mixture periodically. After 8 days, the alcohol tincture must be filtered through a double layer of gauze. The tincture is stored in a dark place.
Rose petal lotion is applied to the roots of clean hair, after 5 minutes it is distributed over the entire length of the hair using a fine-toothed comb. Do not rinse off. Folk remedies using rose petals will give your hair beauty, natural shine and health.
Do masks help you grow long hair?
Masks prepared with homemade natural ingredients restore blood circulation, so hair begins to grow quickly. The main thing is to choose the right ingredients, check how your body reacts to them, whether there is an allergic reaction, then you can start preparing the mask. If you choose honey, onion, pepper, mustard, you should know that the mask will burn a little, this is a normal reaction. When you feel that the mask is unbearably burning, severe itching appears, you must wash it off immediately.
Don't panic if your hair starts to fall out in the first two weeks. This happens due to the fact that blood circulation accelerates; the process will soon normalize. The stimulating mask has an excellent effect on the hair roots, so after using it, the hair begins to grow rapidly and becomes stronger over time.

Hair oils for growth and thickness at home
at home,
Typically, the entire procedure consists of applying an oil (one selected one or a whole mixture) or a mask created with or with the addition of oils to the hair and rinsing off the entire mixture with shampoo after the required amount of time has elapsed. During the procedure, the head is usually covered with a plastic bag so as not to stain the skin, clothes and even objects in the room with oil, and they are also “wrapped” with a towel so that the heat helps to better reveal all the properties of the oils.
For the night
It is best to use oils before going to bed - apply a small amount of the selected substance at night, “wrap” your head in the same way and go to bed. The next morning, of course, it will take a little more time to remove the absorbed oil, but the result is definitely worth it.

Another option, extremely similar to burdock oil, is castor oil. Usually it costs a little more than burdock, although it differs little in its properties - it still nourishes the hair well, improves the hair structure and generally has a positive effect on the health of the hair and the condition of the scalp. And it washes off almost without difficulty, so there are no special problems with its use.
