There is a hype around cosmetics and care products, all possible tips, recipes and ways are used to help get the right length faster.
The quality of hair and the rate of its growth depends on many factors: these are heredity, and preventive measures, the level of brain activity, care, habitat, etc.
Not scientifically proven, but noticed by many of the fair sex that enhanced intellectuallabor accelerates hair growth. This can be explained, because if you have to solve many complex problems, then the temperature of the brain rises. Accordingly, our follicles seem to be "warmed up" from the inside. However, there is still no scientific proof of this fact.
Head massage as a mask
By massaging your hair and scalp, you will not only relieve stress, but also accelerate the growth of curls, and also get rid of dandruff over time. The biggest advantage of this method is the absolute budget. In this case, all actions can be performed independently. The only expense that is required of you is time, and it takes very little.

If athe greasiness of the head is increased, then it is better to do a massage an hour or immediately before washing, as the hair gets very dirty after this procedure.
Pepper

It owes its pungency to capsaicin, an alkaloid found in capsicum.
To prepare such a mask, you need to mix seven to ten grams of ground red pepper with twenty grams of honey. Mix the components until a homogeneous consistency is formed. The resulting substance is applied to the scalp, and any useful oil (burdock, olive, argan, coconut) is applied to the hair itself.

Pepper tincture
Ground red pepper can be successfully replaced with tincture. Firstly, it costs mere pennies, and secondly, you can not mix it with anything, but apply it yourself with your fingertips on the scalp.
It is important not to forget to wear gloves, because the pepper nibbles everything that comes in its way: both fingers and the skin under the nails.
To over timeincrease the degree of burning, you need to add water to the tincture. A homemade hair growth mask based on peppercorns is one of the best remedies.
To prepare it, you need to slightly heat 35 grams of peach kernel oil, then add 35 grams of capsicum tincture. The resulting substance is applied only to the hair roots (in no case for the length, otherwise dry them out). Hair must be insulated with a hat or towel. Keep this mixture for 60 to 120 minutes, then rinse. A pepper mask for hair growth is a very effective remedy. Judging by the reviews, in a month some girls grew from 10 to 15 cm in length.

If desired, this recipe can be supplemented with a teaspoon of honey and one yolk. We try to apply the resulting mixture only on the scalp and leave for 10-25 minutes. If the burning sensation is unbearable, then stop the procedure, the tingling should be light.
Kefir mask with mustard consists of one egg, 5-7 grams of mustard powder and 40 ml of kefir. The mixture is well mixed and applied to the hair roots for half an hour. To enhance the effect, curls can be insulated.
The hair growth mask recipe with mustard, onion juice and garlic has a harsh and unpleasant aroma. But this is the only drawback of a very effective tool. To prepare it you will need:
- 10 grams of mustard diluted with warm water to a not very thick consistency;
- 35ml onion juice;
- 15ml garlic juice;
- 25 grams of honey.

Castor oil
Castor masks for hair growth have been known since the time of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers. It has a slightly viscous consistency, so it is more useful to warm it up in a water bath and apply it on the scalp, spreading it along the length.
The procedure should be carried out 1-3 hours before washing the hair. If your scalp is already very oily, then work with this remedy only on the length and ends, otherwise it will be problematic to wash castor oil from your hair. Clogged pores can only aggravate the situation with the hair, and in especially advanced cases, lead to hair loss, so the mask must be thoroughly washed off with shampoo.
Kefir, cognac, ground pepper, pepper tincture, burdock oil, onion juice, chopped garlic, honey, raw egg or just yolk, etc. are also added to heated castor oil.
It must be remembered that all masks with mustard and pepper are applied only to the roots, as the rest of the hair can dry out. If these components are not present, then the mixture is distributed along the length of all hair.

But the application time depends on the component: if it is mustard or pepper, then you can keep such a mask for only 15-30 minutes. The cognac mixture can be left for several hours.

Argan oil
It is also called Moroccan gold, as its scope is limitless, and there are legends about its benefits. It is considered especially useful for hair.
This product is very rich in various trace elements, so it is not recommended to use it as an independent remedy. Argan oil is considered hypoallergenic, but there are still cases of intolerance.

Yeast

Egg
It's hard to believe, but this common remedy may still surprise you even more. There are a myriad of recipes for masks for hair growth with an egg, but not everyone knows that you can also wash your hair with yolk.
If you do not have an allergy to the product, which often manifests itself in the form of itching, redness or peeling, then you can forget about the purchased shampoo. Because the yolk is enough to wash your hair and at the same time strengthen your hair. After a month of use, they become noticeably thicker and more effective.
