Hot wrap with burdock oil

A hot wrap is a very good spa treatment for hair, it nourishes, regenerates and strengthens hair from roots to ends.

A hot wrap is done on dry hair, before shampooing, it is desirable that there is no hairspray, foam or other styling products on the hair.

We heat the oil in a water bath and apply warm oil to the scalp, massage it and distribute it over the length of the hair. Then we insulate well, you can take a shower cap or plastic wrap, you can put on a warm woolen hat on top or wrap it in a hot towel. For a better result, you can still warm it up with a hairdryer (about five minutes) and then walk for another 1-2 hours. After the time has passed, I wash my head as usual, using shampoo several times.

Julia

I didn't like the burdock oil itself, but in combination with castor and olive oil, I restored the length of my hair well, and also strengthened it. I did this: I mixed all three oils and added yolk, orange essential oil and vitamin B12 to them, applied all this mixture to the hair and scalp.

Tanya

After the birth of the second child, hair began to fall out strongly, they were everywhere, just horror ((On the advice of a friend, I began a strengthening course with burdock oil, but there was no result, on the contrary, it became even worse, dandruff was added to the loss. So I immediately went to a dermatologist, she prescribed the necessary tests, based on my history, and it turned out that I had a hormonal failure, so burdock oil is like a dead poultice to me)) I mean that you are looking for the cause of hair loss, and do not buy everything.

Olya

Burdock oil did not cause much delight in me, I took a course of a mask with burdock oil, but there was still no result. It is better to buy good professional masks, the result will be greater.

Once every six months, I buy burdock oil with pepper immediately and do a course with it to strengthen hair, better than any serum for strengthening hair. I also add mint essential oil and aloe extract to this oil (you can buy it at the pharmacy).
