Reviews of mustard oil for hair

Mustard oil for hair: reviews

Kate. I like mustard oil much more than olive oil, and besides, it promotes growth and is cheaper than olive oil. I buy oil in the supermarket and apply it to my hair and also use it internally.

Darya. I tried mustard oil and even made hair masks, but still I like argan oil more, this oil is better than all other oils for hair, I was convinced of this for many years, using a variety of oils on hair.

Maria... Oddly enough, but it was mustard oil and pepper tincture that helped me cope with hair loss, before that I had not tried it, even mesotherapy did not help, and after a course of a mask with mustard oil, the loss decreased several times, but I still drank for three months vitamins Perfectil.
