Rosehip for hair: application reviews

Olesya, 36 years old

I regularly use a rosehip decoction. I rinse my hair with it after shampooing. There is no significant improvement, but after such rinsing, the hair became more shiny and soft to the touch. Also the other day I tried a healing mask, since there was only one application, there is no global effect yet. In general, I believe that if you need to strengthen or restore your hair, then it is better to use masks.

Ruslana, 29 years old

Very good mask with oil and onion juice. I've been using it for 2 months and my hair has really grown. Of course, someone does not tolerate the smell of onion juice, but I believe that for the sake of such a result one can endure. And I want to share my personal secret, after the mask I rinse my hair with water with the addition of essential oil. This rinse will neutralize the onion smell.

Tatyana, 24 years old

The mask with beer and oil is just wonderful. I decided somehow to dye my hair blonde myself and nothing good came of it. She just burned her hair terribly, spoiled it so that it turned into a washcloth. It took only three applications of this mask to significantly improve the condition of my affected curls. Therefore, I can safely recommend this mask to all girls and women. Try it, the result will not keep you waiting long!

How to use?

Application can be done in several ways. If you decide to use the product in its pure form, then do not do it more than once a week, so as not to provoke skin irritation. To achieve maximum effect, heat a small amount of oil (two to three tablespoons) in a water bath or on the slowest fire, and then first apply it on the scalp with massaging movements, and then distribute it along the length of all hair. To enhance the effect, it is advisable to wrap the head first with cling film or a simple bag, and then with a cloth or towel. Rinse your hair well after two to three hours.

You can add the product to the usual and frequently used products, such as masks, shampoos, conditioners, balms, serums. Half a teaspoon of oil is enough for a single dose.
