Hair mask with pepper tincture
The state of health of our hair is not always close to ideal - it can fall out and grow poorly. To enhance recovery and growth, dormant hair follicles need to be awakened. This effect can be achieved by stimulating blood circulation in the small vessels of the scalp. For this, pepper tincture, or simply "pepper", is perfect. Since it contains alcohol, masks with pepper tincture are applied only to the hair roots, avoiding the hair shafts and ends. To increase the effectiveness of the procedure, the hair is insulated with a thick cloth or towel.

Rules and recommendations for the use of pepper tincture
The fact that the mask works as planned is indicated by a slight burning sensation felt after application. In case of severe itching and burning, you should immediately wash your hair to prevent burns. Next time, the content of pepper tincture in the mask should be reduced. In general, the share of "pepper" should be no more than 1/5 of the total volume of any recipes. The frequency of using pepper tincture for hair treatment is once every 2 weeks, the course takes 3 months. Such courses should not be held more often than once a year.
Application rules:
- When applying the mask to dry hair, remember that alcohol severely dries hair of this type, and on dry scalp it can even provoke dandruff.
- An excellent supplement for a mask is essential oils.
- Immediately after applying the mask, you do not need to color, style and intensively comb your hair.
- During the application of the mask, gloves should be put on hands, the skin around the eyes and the mucous membrane of the eyes should be protected to avoid severe burning.
- Mixing pepper with water will only intensify the burning sensation.
- Components with a high fat content (high-fat kefir, vegetable oil), yeast, honey, egg yolk, hair balm are added to the mask.
- The time indicated in the recipe should be strictly observed to avoid irritation of the skin.
- Hair before using the mask must be dry and not matted. Wet curls enhance the action of pepper tincture.
- To check the compatibility of the mask composition and local immunity, a minimum amount of components is applied behind the ear. If there is a pronounced skin reaction (itching, irritation), you should not use this mask to avoid an allergic reaction.
The tincture can be purchased at the pharmacy, or you can prepare it yourself. Before preparing the homemade tincture, you should wear gloves to protect your hands from irritation. For 0.5 liters of vodka, take 5-6 small hot peppers or 1 standard copy. They are cut across, placed in a container with vodka along with the seeds, set aside for 10-14 days in a dark place.
Using nettle infusion instead of vodka increases the effectiveness of treatment:
- One Art. l. fresh chopped nettle is poured with half a glass of boiling water, infused for 30 minutes, used for a pepper mask.
- For this recipe, grind the pepper, pour it with nettle infusion.
- Heat the mixture in a water bath for 10 minutes.
