Hair mask with vitamins in ampoules B6 and B12
A mask with vitamins in ampoules B6 and B12 is an excellent tool for healing hair, improving its appearance and giving it thickness. Vitamins can be purchased at any pharmacy. They are released in ampoules and have a liquid consistency, so making masks based on them is very convenient.
Vitamin B6 or, as it is also called, pyridoxine, takes an active part in the formation of the hair follicle. Thanks to him, the hair "lives longer", does not fall out and remains strong. In addition, it promotes normal skin hydration and prevents dandruff.
Vitamin B12 or cyanocobalamin is a cobalt-containing substance that stimulates hair growth and helps restore hair to its normal structure. With a lack of this vitamin, the hair looks pale, dull and begins to fall out, since it is primarily responsible for the regeneration of the scalp.
Of course, vitamins must be ingested with food. So, vitamin B6 is found in fish, nuts, chicken meat, in the liver. Vitamin B12 can be found in beef liver, egg yolk, herring, crayfish, squid, and fermented milk drinks. However, the B vitamins are not always absorbed by the body by 100%, and often a person does not receive them at all with food due to inaccuracies in the diet. Therefore, your hair can and should be periodically nourished with these vitamins from the outside.
It is known that trichologists (hair specialists) use vitamins B12 and B6 to treat focal baldness, skillfully combining them in various masks. If alopecia is not associated with any diseases and is not caused by genetic factors, then the use of fortified masks will strengthen the hair, stimulate its further growth and increase hair density.

How do vitamins B6 and B12 work on hair?
If there is a lack of vitamins B6 and B12 in the body, then the hair reacts to it as follows:
- The hair follicles remain in the resting phase. Already regrown hair begins to break and fall out, and new hair does not grow. As a result, the density of the hair suffers, and areas of baldness may appear.
- The scalp is unable to retain moisture, which leads to flaking, dandruff and itching.
- Fat metabolism of the scalp is disturbed.
- Hair becomes dry, loses its natural shine, begins to break along its entire length.
- Hair ends become split.
- Naturally, such hair looks lifeless and unkempt. Therefore, in case of severe hair loss, you can try to saturate them with vitamins from the outside.
The use of vitamins B12 and B6 for hair treatment at home
You can buy vitamins B12 and B6 at any pharmacy. You don't need a recipe to buy them. Vitamins can be used as a stand-alone hair care product or as part of various masks.

- When using the mask, you need to put on a cellophane cap on your head. This will create a greenhouse effect, open pores and penetrate deeper into them vitamins.
- The exposure time of the mask is determined by its composition.
- Rinse off the vitamin mask under a warm stream of running water.

- Shake the ampoule before using it.
To avoid an allergic reaction, you need to open an ampoule with a vitamin and apply a small amount of it to the skin of the wrist or behind the ear. After half an hour, it is necessary to assess the condition of the dermis. If irritation, redness or flaking does not occur, then the product can be applied to the scalp.

Also, vitamin B12 in combination with vitamins A and C is not used for hair treatment. Trichologists, of course, know about the impossibility of such a combination, but sometimes you can find such combinations in folk recipes.
Masks with vitamin B12 in the composition must not be heated, as it is not resistant to high temperatures and may lose its beneficial properties.
It is not recommended to use masks with vitamins in ampoules more than 1 time in 10 days, so as not to harm the hair. The full course of treatment consists of 10 procedures. After this time, it is necessary to take a break for 2-3 months, then it can be repeated.
