Surely many have heard about the cinnamon mask to accelerate growth. Does Cinnamon Really Stimulate Growth? What type of hair is this mask suitable for? Is she safe? There are a lot of questions that need to be answered in detail.
So, first, a recipe for how to make a hair mask with cinnamon. You will need cinnamon itself in powder, olive oil (can be replaced with flaxseed, wheat germ and any base oil in general, even vegetable), hot water, sugar. All these components are used in equal amounts (2 tablespoons each). Mix 1 yolk with them.
It is very important to thoroughly coat the hair along the entire length with oil, especially the tips, before applying the mask to the roots! This is done so as not to burn the hair. Forehead, neck and earscan also be oiled. If the mask hits, it can be quickly erased. Otherwise, a slight burn may occur. After completing the application, the head should be wrapped with polyethylene and a towel or handkerchief. Leave for at least 15 minutes, but it's better to wait 1 hour.
The scalp will tingle, but if tolerable, it is better not to run to wash off the mask, but to wait the necessary time. The warming effect "awakens" the hair follicles, thereby accelerating hair growth. Tested on myself! The effect is noticeable after the first application. Cinnamon is used for hair no more than 1 time per week (for dry hair and even less often - 1 time in 10-14 days). In addition, owners of oily hair will surely enjoy the effect of reducing the greasiness of the scalp. At the first application, a fairly large amount of hair may fall out. Do not be afraid of this, because only the sick and weakened fall out. They would fall out within a week anyway. But in their place, he althy ones immediately begin to grow.
What else can cinnamon be used for hair?
Lightening curls with this wonderful spice is very popular among fans of natural cosmetics. With regular use of this method, you can achieve lightening even by 2 tones. To prepare the mask, you will need 4 tablespoons of cinnamon powder, about 100 grams of liquid honey (candied honey can be melted in a water bath) and 2 tablespoons of a regular hair balm or store mask. All components are mixed and applied evenly to wet hair along the length. Thenyou need to put on a shower cap and wrap it well with a towel. After 4 hours, the mask should be washed off with water, it may be necessary to use shampoo for very thick hair. Dry and enjoy the result. An additional bonus from such clarification will be the amazing aroma that cinnamon leaves. For hair dyed with chemical dyes, such a mask, alas, is not suitable.
