Due to tannins dandruff passes, and seborrhea disappears. Antiseptic properties of the oil can work wonders - the dermis is saturated with beneficial bacteria that help eliminate toxins and strengthen hair roots.
Cosmetic oil actively influences the growth of hair. When using special masks, hair can grow by three centimeters in a few weeks.

Reviews
Since burdock oil is one of the main means discussed, it is worth emphasizing that the feedback is always positive. The concentrate has a healing effect in any case.As the girls explain, the burdock substrate is best used immediately with additives - for those who save money and their time, this is an ideal option. For example, there is an acceleration of hair growth after applying two or three compresses based on burdock and red pepper extract.
Often, the girls comment that in diseases of the scalp, only burdock oil helped them, but the effect did not appear immediately - after a month's course of treatment.
In addition, a pleasant improvement in the overall condition of the hair is achieved through simple aroma-scrubbing, and if we add to this Dimexid-based compresses, we can make the hair thicker.
However, there is a small minus, as some explain: with prolonged use, the curls get used to the oil and begin to quickly become dirty. In this case, it is necessary to stop using the oil for a while.
