What vitamins can be added to shampoo and mask

Today I want to raise the topic of adding vitamins to shampoos, masks and conditioners (balms), naturally purchased, that is, industrial. Seeing on the Internet information (so to speak, a guide to action) that you can add vitamin B to a purchased mask (your favorite, as it was written) and apply, attention! on the scalp and spread over the entire length, insulate and keep as long as possible! How can you apply a purchased mask to the scalp (even if you added a vitamin there), if all manufacturers write that the mask is applied to the length of the hair, stepping back from the roots! Do not apply conditioners, masks, balms to the scalp !!! Yes, there are special masks that are produced for the treatment of the scalp, and it is indicated to produce this, but I know only a few, rarely what brand produces such masks (conditioner). A regular mask (mass market, professional, pharmacy, luxury) cannot be applied to the scalp, this applies to both balms and conditioners!

And another story walks on the Internet, that vitamins in ampoules can be added immediately to the entire bottle and use this shampoo or mask for months. What's the point? If the benefits of such a shampoo are no longer in a few hours, or even earlier. And most importantly, people read this information and accept it as a guide to action.

So, the question is ripe, to figure out what vitamins can be added to hair care products, and when to add them.

First, let's talk about B vitamins, they are the most important and beneficial for hair, both for ingestion and for external use, especially since they do not accumulate in the body.

B vitamins in ampoules that can be used for hair:

1. Vitamin B1
2. Vitamin B2
3. Vitamin B6
4. Vitamin B12

There is also a vitamin B3 - nicotinic acid, but it is better to use it in its pure form, rub it into the scalp, so the effect will be many times better. Nicotinic acid actually improves hair growth, strengthens them and prevents hair loss, even trichologists confirm this. Read all about nicotinic acid and how to use it in the articles: How to rub niacin into hair? and Nicotinic acid in the fight against hair loss. Properties and methods of application.

In addition to B vitamins, you can also add to shampoo, mask and conditioner:

1. Vitamin A in oil
2. Vitamin E in oil

These are essential vitamins that can be added to shampoo, mask, conditioner, or conditioner to improve hair condition and health. Let's take a closer look at each of them.

It is better to add each of the vitamins to the finished product separately, rather than mixing several vitamins.

Vitamin B1 for hair

Vitamin B1 is responsible for the proper nutrition of our hair roots. Vitamin nourishes the hair follicles with useful elements that are so necessary for growth and development. It is able to "hold together" the scales of damaged hair, thereby making them smooth and silky. That is, vitamin B1, with regular use, gives the hair a natural shine, softness, smoothness and elasticity.

With a lack of vitamin B1 in the body, many important processes are disrupted, this is reflected in the hair in the form of dull hair, dryness and brittleness. It is found in many food products, therefore, with a properly selected diet, its deficiency is almost impossible.

Vitamin B 1 can be added to both shampoo and mask.

Vitamin B2 for hair treatment

Vitamin B2 supplies oxygen to the cells of the scalp, so nutrients penetrate better to the hair roots, it perfectly improves blood circulation. Vitamin B2 also regulates metabolic processes in the body, which allows hair to fully receive proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

The main symptom of a lack of vitamin B2 in the body is oily hair at the roots and dry ends.

When applied topically, vitamin B2 strengthens hair, making it more resistant to external factors, promotes growth, improves blood circulation to the scalp, makes hair soft, elastic and manageable, taking care of hair length.

Vitamin B2 can be added to shampoo and mask.

Vitamin B6 in ampoules: addition to shampoo and mask

Vitamin B6 is known as an accelerator of hair growth because it is responsible for the nutritional level of the follicles, as a result normal metabolism in the scalp is restored, and accordingly hair growth is accelerated. Also, after a recovery course with vitamin B6, dry hair is visibly moisturized. This is due to the fact that the component activates the process of retaining moisture.

With a lack of vitamin B6, dryness, itching and flaking of the scalp develops, and dandruff may also appear. In addition, hair growth slows down, the condition of hair length also deteriorates, dryness and sectioning appear.

External application of the vitamin improves the condition of the hair from roots to ends.

Vitamin B6 can be added to shampoo to strengthen hair and enhance growth, and can be added to a mask to reduce dryness and breakage.

Vitamin B12 in ampoules for hair loss

Vitamin B12 has a good effect on the hair roots and the structure of the curls itself, it strengthens hair follicles well, prevents hair loss, helps fight dandruff, improves hair elasticity, gives shine and softness.

Vitamin B12 helps to cope with severe itching and flaking of the skin, it even helps to cope with seborrhea (in combination therapy).

Lack of vitamin B12 in the body leads to intense hair loss.

Vitamin B12 can be added to both hair shampoo and mask.

Vitamins A and E are best for hair length because their solution is oily, but if you have dry scalp, you can add them to shampoo (one to two drops per serving of shampoo).

Vitamin A for hair

Vitamin A improves the elasticity of hair, makes it elastic, shiny and silky, protecting it from the harmful effects of sunlight, affecting active growth. Vitamin A stimulates the restoration of hair structure, provides protection against free radicals, and makes hair strong and elastic. It is the lack of vitamin A that leads to dry and brittle hair.

Vitamin A fights flaking and dryness of the scalp, if the scalp is dry, then you can safely add vitamin A to the shampoo.

Vitamin A is best added only to the mask if the scalp is prone to oily.

Vitamin E for hair treatment

Vitamin E promotes cell renewal, increases blood flow, resulting in improved local circulation, helps fight hair loss, and promotes hair growth and restoration. Vitamin E helps to deal with scalp problems, especially dandruff and dryness.

In addition, vitamin E is found in many commercial hair masks, even luxury ones.

Vitamin E protects the shell on the rods from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation and other negative environmental factors.

It is better to add vitamin E only to the mask if the scalp is prone to oily content, and if it is dry, then you can add it to the shampoo.

The recipe for adding vitamins in ampoules to shampoo and mask

All of these vitamins, which we discussed above, can be bought at a pharmacy for a symbolic price and without a doctor's prescription. B vitamins are sold in ampoules, and vitamins A and E in jars, because they are oily. There is also a combination of vitamins A and E in the form of the Aevit complex, they can also be used, added immediately from the capsule.

Vitamins should be added in one serving of shampoo, not in a whole jar, this also applies to mask and conditioner. Vitamins quickly lose their properties after opening, so there is no point in adding them to the full volume of shampoo (mask, conditioner).

When choosing a shampoo for fortification, give preference to shampoos for sensitive scalp (neutral) or anti-hair loss, for strengthening, because these types of shampoos are more gentle, they contain less harmful substances and there are no silicones.

To give the usual shampoo firming properties, you need to pour a little shampoo into the palm of your hand and add a few drops of the vitamin. Or pour out the required amount of shampoo at one time, but so that it is enough for two doses, that is, lather once, then the second. For the best effect, it is recommended to hold the lather on your hair for a few minutes and rinse thoroughly.

Do this shampoo no more than 2-3 times a week, with a course of one month, and then you must definitely take a break. This also applies to masks and conditioners.

Vitamins are also added to the mask, conditioner or balm, one ampoule of the vitamin you have chosen is enough. And if it is an oily vitamin, then 3-8 drops, depending on the length of the hair.

Reviews

Natalia, 48 years old

During menopause, my hair began to fall out very much (I also paint it in a light tone), out of despair I began to look for information on the Internet and found many recipes with vitamins (pharmacy). Since I didn't have time for masks for two hours, I added vitamin B12 to the shampoo every time I washed my hair. I will not say that the loss has completely stopped, but the fact that it has returned to normal is a fact.

Svetlana, 27 years old

I have been adding vitamins A and E to purchased masks for many years. I take a regular mask, I have it moisturizing or nourishing and add 5 drops of vitamin A and E to the portion, apply the mask to the length, stepping back from the roots, hold it, as the manufacturer writes, and wash it off thoroughly. The hair afterwards is very good, nourished, crumbly, shiny and manageable.

Julia, 33 years old

When my seasonal hair loss begins, I immediately buy vitamins B6 and B12, as well as niacin. I add B6 and B12 to the shampoo, one by one, and rub niacin into the scalp after washing. Such a course perfectly strengthens the hair, stimulates growth and improves the general condition of the hair. Doing the course in spring and autumn, I do not know any problems with hair. And besides, it costs much (much) cheaper than buying serums and ampoules against hair loss. And the result really is!

Nastya, 24 years old

On the recommendation of my friends, I also bought ampoules of B vitamins and started adding them to shampoo and conditioner. I like to add B2 to the conditioner, after which the hair looks very good. And I like the shampoo more - B12, the hair is really strengthened.
