Is cinnamon useful for hair?

Healthy shiny hair at all times was considered the most worthy adornment of the girl. But what if, by nature, they are rather weak, grow poorly, split and break? Natural hair cosmetics will come to the rescue. You can buy one of the industrial production, and you can use the improvised means and cook at home, which will help to save money.

Surely many people have heard of the cinnamon mask to accelerate growth. Does cinnamon really stimulate growth? What kind of hair mask is suitable for this type of hair? Is it safe? There are a lot of questions to which you should find detailed answers.

All these components are used in equal amounts (2 tablespoons each). To them to mix 1 yolk. It is very important before applying the mask on the roots to properly lubricate the hair along the entire length of the oil, especially the tips! This is done in order not to burn hair. The forehead, neck and ears can also be smeared with oil. If the mask hits, it can be quickly erased. Otherwise, a slight burn is possible. After completing the application, the head should be wrapped with polyethylene and a towel or handkerchief. Leave at least 15 minutes, but still it is better to stand for 1 hour.

The scalp will tingle, but if tolerable, it is better not to run off the mask, but wait for the necessary time. The warming effect "awakens" the hair bulbs, thereby accelerating the growth of hair. It is checked up on itself! The effect is noticeable after the first application. Cinnamon for hair is used more often 1 time per week (for dry and less often - 1 time in 10-14 days). In addition, owners of fatty hair will certainly like the effect of reducing the greasiness of the scalp. At the first application, a fairly large amount of hair can fall out. Do not be intimidated by this, because only the sick and weakened fall out. They would fall out within a week. But in their place immediately begin to grow healthy.

What other purposes can a cinnamon use for hair? A great popularity among fans of natural cosmetics is the lightening of curls with the help of this miracle-spice.

To prepare the mask, you need 4 tablespoons of cinnamon powder, about 100 grams of liquid honey (candied can be melt in a water bath) and 2 tablespoons of normal hair balm or shop mask. All components are mixed and applied evenly to wet hair along the length. Then you 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, possibly for very thick hair, shampoo should be used. Dry and enjoy the result.
