Homemade hair masks need to be done in a course: 2 times a week for a month, then a month break, if the situation has stabilized during this time (hair loss has decreased, falls out within normal limits), then you can also do it once a week to maintain the effect or completely repeat the course.

Top 10 masks for hair loss

1. Mask with tincture of red pepper

Capsaicin, which is found in pepper, irritates the nerve endings of the skin, which accompanies the rush of blood to the hair roots. Due to this, all nutrients from the blood are supplied to the hair in an enhanced mode, which is the reason for the acceleration of hair growth and their strengthening. Therefore, you need to eat right when doing a course of masks. Tincture of red capsicum is most often chosen by men for the treatment of hair loss.

• 2 tablespoons of pepper tincture;
• 1 tablespoon castor oil or mustard oil
• 5 drops of bey essential oil.

The mask is applied to dry hair before washing. Heat castor oil in a water bath, add pepper tincture and essential oil to it. Apply the mask to the scalp along the partings (try not to get the mask on the length of the hair, the tincture dries the hair very much), insulate and leave for 40 minutes to 1 hour. The mask should warm and tingle. If you have dry hair, you can apply your favorite base oil to the ends. Rinse off the mask with warm (not hot water) with shampoo, it is good if it is an alkaline shampoo (for deep cleaning) to wash the castor oil from the hair and after such a shampoo, you need to apply the mask for a length (hold it for not 10 minutes as recommended by the manufacturer, and 30 minutes).

Be careful, because you can dry out the scalp (itching or even dandruff will appear), a sufficient course for 1 month, doing 2 times a week, and then you need to take a break for a month and if necessary, you can continue to do the mask once every 7-10 days.

2. Onion hair mask (recipe 1)

The content of phytoncides in onions has a beneficial effect on the hair roots and scalp, and sulfur and phosphorus are vital constituents of the hair substance, which are necessary for the life of hair. Onion masks reduce hair loss and stimulate hair growth.

• juice of one onion;
• 1 teaspoon pepper tincture;
• 1 teaspoon of burdock or olive oil (add if it dries the scalp without oil);
• 5 drops of lemon or orange essential oil, mint (reduces onion odor).

The mask is done before washing the hair, mix all the ingredients, and apply to the scalp along the partings. The mask needs to be insulated and held from 40 minutes to 1 hour, it can be longer if you have time. After washing the hair with shampoo (warm, but not hot water), apply a balm or mask, and be sure to rinse the hair with water with the addition of lemon juice, it will reduce the smell of onions (1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice per 1 liter of water or vinegar, plus more hair will shine). The mask is done 2-3 times a week, with a course of at least 1 month. Do not apply the mask to the length of your hair!

You can also add to the mask 1 teaspoon brandy, it will reduce the smell of onions. A mask for the “brave”, because the smell of onion cannot be completely removed, it can only be reduced. If the hair is dry, there is practically no smell, but if the hair is even a little bit damp (physical activity or was exposed to rain), the aroma of onions will be on the whole room. Even if you have completed the entire course of the onion mask, the smell on your hair remains for another month. But many girls say that the result is worth it:

After an onion mask, hair stops falling out 80% less! I couldn't believe my eyes when, after the first (!) Use of the onion, I pulled out not a lump of hair from the plum, but much, much less ... Now I consider it a panacea. I plan to repeat the course closer to autumn.

Dimexide is a drug (you can buy it at a pharmacy for a symbolic price), which accelerates wound healing, it is widely used in burn practice.

In hair masks, this drug is used precisely because of this property, a hair mask with Dimexide will work much faster than the same mask without it.

Sea buckthorn oil is considered one of the best oils to fight hair loss, even with alopecia. Sea buckthorn oil contains a lot of vitamin A, which accelerates the regeneration of skin cells and accelerates hair growth (vitamin C content), as well as makes hair soft and elastic. Thanks to Dimexide, the oil penetrates into the hair roots and nourishes them with its beneficial substances.
