It is quite enough to turn your eyes to the kitchen, namely, to sunflower oil, which is in every home. It will help make your hair strong, shiny, silky and voluminous.

The main benefit and advantage of sunflower oil is its versatility, because it is suitable for hair of absolutely all types. And the nutrients contained in it will return beautiful appearance and health to the curls. It includes:

There are two types of this oil on sale: refined and unrefined.

The first variety is a product with a subtle scent of sunflower, a light color and a minimum amount of beneficial substances, which are largely lost during its preparation.

Unrefined oil has a pronounced aroma of sunflower and dark color. Contains in large quantities all the above nutrients.

Like any other product, this has its own contraindications. These include allergies and idiosyncrasies. If you have any diseases of the scalp and hair, before applying sunflower oil, it is better to test for allergies or consult a trichologist.

If we talk about the dangers of this product for the hair, then in principle it is not, and can not be. The main thing to use fresh oil, which was stored in compliance with all regulations. Do not forget about using it within reasonable limits. Otherwise, the curls will become very fat and dull.

But speaking of the shortcomings, it is impossible not to mention its merits.

Ease and ease of use are also a significant advantage, and together with the benefits that it brings to the hair, sunflower oil becomes a real valuable find.

A distinctive feature of this type of oil is its high fat content, therefore it is necessary to use it in very small quantities.For medium-length hair, one tablespoon is enough.

If there is very little time, and the curls do not look the best, then you can add 4 drops of oil to the water intended for rinsing them. The effect will manifest in the brilliance, smoothness and silkiness of the curls.

In order not to weight the hair, it is not recommended to use this product both in its pure form and with additives more than twice a week. Otherwise, even frequent washing of the head will not save from greasy and weighted hair.

Like any other oil mixture used for hair, this should be heated in a water bath before use. But wash it better with cool water.

To enhance the effect of masks using this component, it is necessary to rinse the curls not only with water, but with decoction of herbs. Chamomile, mint and sage are best suited. It is also good to use water acidified with lemon or lime juice, or you can simply vinegar. Each mask based on this product is applied for a specific period of time. Keep it on the hair longer than recommended is not worth it. This will not lead to an increase in its efficiency, but on the contrary, only to a decrease.

Depending on the goals, masks based on sunflower oil can be on the curls from 20 minutes to two hours. The total time of their exposure depends on the specific recipe, but in general it is possible to divide them into several groups according to the duration of exposure:

1. Moisturizing mask from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
2. Strengthen the mixture for 20 minutes.
3. Against hair loss for one hour.
4. Nutritious masks applied to the curls, for 2 hours.
5. Masks, soothing for half an hour.
6. To add shine and volume for 30-45 minutes.
7. For activization of growth and increase in density for 25 minutes.
