If you are prone to allergies, try first sensitivity test (Apply some Dimexide to the skin in the area of ​​the inner fold of the elbow).

Dimexide should only be used in composition of masks with other componentsbecause it enhances the action of other substances, and this is its main task in hair care.

The use of Dimexide in its pure form does not make sense, since in masks it plays the role of a conductor of the active components of the mask.

Strictly stick to the mask recipe, because if you overdo it with Dimexide, you will dry out your skin and get dandruff, and in addition to hair loss, dandruff will also be added.

Do not use Dimexide more than 1-1.5 monthsbecause kidney problems are possible. After a course of masks, you need to take a break for at least a month, and preferably two.

The ratio of Dimexide in relation to other components of the mask should be at least - 1:3, one part of Dimexide and three parts of the remaining ingredients. For about two tablespoons of base oil, a teaspoon of Dimexide is added, or for three tablespoons of oil (or other components) - one tablespoon of Dimexide or even better diluted 1: 5.

It is advisable to apply a mask with Dimexidum on clean dry hair, since Dimexide enhances the action of not only the active components of the mask, but also dirt, styling agents, which will also penetrate the tissues.

Dimexidum masks are applied only to scalp... Dimexide should be added to the mask in last, and when you apply the mask, stir it constantly so that Dimexide does not settle to the bottom, apply the mask with gloves so as not to spoil the manicure.

If after applying the mask you feel strong burning, then the mask should be washed off and the proportions of Dimexide should be reduced in relation to other components of the mask.

In general, Dimexide is safe for use in home masks, if you do not make gross mistakes: do not add more Dimexide than is written in the recipe, do not use more than 1-1.5 months, take breaks between courses and do not keep it longer than the recommended time.
