Hair mask with vitamins
To have long, shiny, radiant youth and strength hair - the cherished dream of many women. But numerous factors, such as poor ecology, a frantic rhythm of life (hence stress, lack of sleep, unhealthy diet, bad habits), drugs, lack of vitamins and many others have a negative impact on the whole body in general and hair in particular. Traditional care with shampoo and balsam-rinse becomes insufficient. An integrated approach to this problem is needed: cleansing, restoration, hydration and nutrition, including active fortification of the hair and scalp. Beauty salons offer their services to restore the health and vitality of hair. But few know that the majority of similar procedures can be done independently at home. Currently, the consumer market offers a wide range of various cosmetics, including hair masks with vitamins. In this article we will take a closer look at their actions.
Benefits of Vitamin Cosmetics
Internal health and external beauty of hair are directly dependent on the state of the body. Lack of vitamins (vitamin deficiency) makes strands brittle, dry, devoid of natural luster and volume. The use of various cosmetic balms and ingestion of vitamin preparations in most cases does not help to achieve the desired effect. Hair follicles receive only a small portion of essential nutrients from the blood. Undeniable help can provide cosmetics for hair with different vitamins, which will provide intensive nutrition and saturation with essential vitamins directly hair from root to tip. Cosmetics can be selected in the windows of supermarkets or make effective masks yourself. To do this, you need to mix various healthy ingredients for your hair with essential vitamins.
Vitamins with an oil or water base are sold in pharmacy kiosks in ampoules and have a sufficient budget value.
For the manufacture of hair masks, it is preferable to purchase ampoules with oils, since such compositions have a greater impact when exposed to hair on the outside.
