Hair mask with sea buckthorn oil

What girl doesn't dream of a luxurious cascade of thick, silky and smooth curls? The well-known sea buckthorn oil can create such a head of hair. Possessing a whole range of restorative, stimulating and regenerating qualities, it is successfully used for hair care. This is of particular importance for curls that are regularly exposed to the traumatic effects of frequent staining, perms, irons, hair dryers and hairpins. In the article, we will talk about the use of sea buckthorn oil to prepare a hair mask.

Why sea buckthorn oil is useful for hair

The healing qualities of sea buckthorn berry oil are due to the peculiarities of its biochemical composition.

• Due to the presence of carotene, which moisturizes dry hairs from the inside and has a beneficial effect on too dry and irritated scalp, the oil is able to fight all types of dandruff and restore the damaged structure of the strands.
• The presence of vitamin E, which contributes to the saturation of cells and tissues with oxygen, gives the sea buckthorn oil strengthening and moisturizing properties, at the same time giving it the ability to significantly accelerate the growth of curls.
• The high content of sterols makes this substance an indispensable tool for combating hair loss, and for eliminating any skin irritation on the scalp.
• The presence of phospholipids, which normalize metabolic processes in hair and skin cells, endows the oil with the ability to return the strands to their former beauty and radiance.
• A large amount of fruit acids helps this product cleanse the inner hair structure from dead cells, heavy metal salts, dust and dirt particles.
• Thanks to linoleic acid, the oil perfectly restores the structure of split ends and prevents seasonal thinning of the hair.
• The presence of vitamin C gives the sea buckthorn oil the ability to stimulate the increased production of collagen by special cells (fibroblasts) of the human body, which, ultimately, is reflected in the improvement of the elasticity of the curls.

Application methods

Sea buckthorn oil is an excellent preventive and therapeutic product that helps not only to cope with many diseases of the skin and hair, but also to prevent their development.

• It is used for rubbing into hair follicles.
• They are smeared with curls and applied to their very ends.
• It is included in the formulation of all kinds of masks.
• If you take one teaspoon of sea buckthorn berry oil on an empty stomach for a month, you can stop the process of severe hair loss. Taking the product inside is also recommended as a radical remedy for baldness.
