Photos before and after use



Having tried the tincture once, you will want to use it again. It awakens hair follicles, accelerates hair growth and improves its condition. Beautiful and healthy curls possible with a simple and accessible to everyone pepper tincture.

° ★Hello everyone!° ★

Many have already used the tincture capsicum to enhance hair growth: some were delighted, some did not feel anything, and some completely burned their hair and dried out their scalp.

Today I will tell you about my life hacks for using capsicum, which allow you to avoid the above problems and see stunning results.

The tincture will not save you from hair loss, since it is unable to trap hair follicles in the holes. But it can increase blood flow to the head and improve blood circulation! All this will give strength to new hairs to grow more intensively. Capsicum peppers will also wake up dormant bulbs. Therefore, you can also count on the appearance of new hair.

Where to buy?

The tincture can be purchased at a pharmacy, it is inexpensive, about 20 rubles. If you try, you can even find it cheaper.

It comes in a glass bottle, but the volume is small, only 25 ml. Therefore, if you have hair below your shoulder blades, take several pieces at once; you will not see the effect from one bottle, since you need a course of applications for at least a month, 2 times a week. This will obviously require more than one bottle!

° ★Consistency° ★

So, you bought the required amount of tincture, unpacked it at home, and the consistency is like regular water. BUT! Don’t rush to taste it, immediately smear it on your head, etc.

Despite the seemingly harmless appearance of the tincture, it is really very hot! Burning beyond measure!

Therefore, even before unscrewing the cap, I recommend wearing rubber gloves. But this way you will protect your fingers!

° ★ Scary? By and large, there is nothing to be afraid of yet, even if the tincture in its pure form gets on your fingers, this is not critical. You will hardly even feel anything. But the fact is that if you forget to wash your hands after that, or just accidentally touch your eyes or mouth - that’s where things get bad. The mucous membranes will begin to burn very strongly. Moreover, if you do wash your hands, there is no guarantee, because the tincture is really difficult to wash off. It takes half a day to sit in the bathroom.

Out of inexperience, I touched my eyes, lips and mouth with my hands! Oh, what started here - this hellish feeling when everything burns. And you run to the bathroom, try to rinse with water, and only over time does relief come.

Then you wash your hands thoroughly, try to check whether the tincture has washed off and again you get a burning sensation and run to the bathroom to wash the affected areas with water.

And I read how many girls were so careless and did not believe that they could burn so badly.

In general, for our own good, we wear gloves. And then under no circumstances do we touch the eyes, lips, mouth, or tongue. I beg you, no need to check. Everything has already been tested for you! Brrrr!

° ★Effect of capsicum tincture on the skin:° ★

Strong warming and drying

Therefore, using the tincture in its pure form is highly undesirable. Even if your skin is not too sensitive, you are not immune from burns, dandruff, itching and other troubles.

Please note that you need to use the tincture in a course, and this will make even the most rough skin will not be happy!

° ★How do I solve this problem?° ★

I just mix the tincture with the oil. I really like olive.

You don’t even have to mix these two components, but do this:

1. First, rub the pepper tincture into your scalp.

2. Monitor the reaction.

3. If the oven starts immediately, then rub olive oil on these places and the head under the cap so that the warming effect is maintained.

4. If it bakes tolerably enough, then don’t add any oil yet, wrap it in a cap and walk for about 30 minutes. Then rub in the oil anyway, do a light massage, walk for a while longer and then wash it off.

° ★Applying oil is mandatory so as not to dry out your hair and scalp. You just decide for yourself: at what stage you apply the oil - at the very beginning, a little later, or closer to the end of the procedure.

The oil will help you avoid problems such as dandruff, itching, and any discomfort.

° ★Using the tincture for the first time° ★

For initial use, it is advisable to use the lowest dosage of tincture, and how low is up to you. Mix with water in a 1:1 ratio or dilute with milk, add oil.

Gradually reduce the share excipients and increase the dose of tincture. Use common sense in everything.

In addition, I like to mix the tincture with liquid vitamins A and E. You know, not the ones in capsules, but oil solutions vitamins!

In general, the tincture can be used in conjunction with the following components:

  • * Any types of oils - olive, burdock, castor, argan, etc.
  • * Liquid vitamin solutions
  • * Milk
  • *Honey
  • Egg - white, yolk
  • Herbal infusions!

My favorites are olive oil and egg because they are always on hand.

Liquid solutions of vitamins are also good, one of my favorites is vitamin A!

° ★Under no circumstances should you do:° ★

* Apply masks with pepper over the entire length and ends of your hair - this will dry out your hair!

° ★My impressions and results:° ★

I use capsicum tincture on a regular basis: I do a course of masks for 1 month, 2 times a week. Then I give my scalp a rest for six months or even more. In general, I look at the condition of my hair. I try to do the course twice a year: before autumn and spring hair loss!

° ★What does this give me?° ★

The undercoat begins to grow very actively. I even grew so-called natural bangs, which I didn’t even cut. It’s just that after giving birth, the hair on the left side of my head fell out in clumps: apparently from hormonal fluctuations. And now, thanks to pepper tincture, the industry is reinventing itself. Naturally, no matter how quickly they grew, they did not match the main length, but they formed bangs. I won’t trim it: let it continue to grow.

In general, I am very pleased with the results: my hair has begun to grow better overall, and a lot of new hair is appearing. As for the gain per month: how many centimeters - I can’t tell you this, since I didn’t measure it and didn’t set such a goal for myself. I just observed the picture as a whole: the result was noticeable to me.

° ★ This is the very result that inspired me from time to time to conduct courses of masks with tincture of capsicum - like bangs that appeared out of nowhere!° ★


The fact is that it is difficult for me to determine the result by length, since I constantly trim the ends so that they are in a healthy state. Therefore, it is difficult for me to see how the length changes.

But the result is noticeable in the grown-out bangs and in the antennae that appear in the forehead area!

That's enough for me! And I’m sure there is an increase in length too.

° ★ For comparison, PHOTO WITHOUT BANGS° ★

° ★Is hair loss decreasing?° ★

You know, the tincture of capsicum itself does not affect the amount of hair falling out. That is, if the hair falls out, then even after applying the course, it will continue to fall out for some time.

For example, after giving birth you need to wait until the hormones stop raging, it is possible to increase the level of hemoglobin, i.e. make sure that there is a sufficient amount of iron in the body, and other useful microelements too.

But over time, with the right approach, hair loss initially decreases: little by little, then more and more noticeably, and finally stops altogether.

In general, such a problem as hair loss cannot be solved in one day, you need patience and correct treatment.

° ★So, MY ARSENAL for hair loss besides masks with pepper:° ★

THIS IS THE MOST BASIC THING I WOULD LIKE TO ADVICE TO YOU!

° ★What else do you need to know when using pepper tincture?° ★

° ★Advantages° ★

  • Activation of hair follicles
  • Rush of blood to the scalp
  • Increased hair growth
  • Hair loss decreases over time

° ★The product itself° ★

  • Affordable
  • It's easy to apply

° ★Disadvantages° ★

  • Possible allergic reaction, individual intolerance, which can manifest itself in any way. The smallest thing: rash, burning, redness of the skin!
  • It takes time to make masks
  • Need regularity
  • Not an instant result

All the shortcomings are rather features; everyone may have their own, so I will not lower the rating of the product. I think it deserves an A!


But be careful and do a sensitivity test before first use.

Capsicum tincture is sold in any pharmacy; its cheap price will not hurt your wallet, even if you decide to carry out a course of procedures!

That's all for me!

Thank you all for your attention!

I wish everyone beautiful and healthy hair!

How it works and what are the benefits of red pepper for hair

The red pepper pod itself will not have any effect on the hair. It is used in the form of an alcohol infusion, sold in pharmacies or made at home. An explosive mixture of pepper and alcohol serves as the basis for masks, balms and even shampoos. Apply similar products to the hair roots.

The principle of action of pepper spray is based on the “awakening” of hair follicles, which, under the aggressive influence of pepper and alcohol, begin to receive increased blood flow. This entails an uninterrupted supply of oxygen to cells, leading to rapid growth hair, the appearance of new hairs and the improvement of curls.

Pepper tincture is a storehouse of useful elements, because:

  • the nitrogenous compound capsaicin, contained in all capsicums, reacts with alcohol and irritates the scalp, stimulating metabolic processes;
  • vitamin B activates hair growth and makes it thicker;
  • vitamin C strengthens the immune system;
  • Vitamin A promotes the healing of wounds on the scalp;
  • iron and calcium saturate the hair shaft and improve its structure.

Important! You should not refuse to use red pepper tincture just because it is based on alcohol. It has long been used in cosmetic hair care products that solve the problems of baldness, dandruff and brittle hair strands.

To make a classic homemade pepper maker you will need:

  • one pod of hot pepper;
  • 100 ml vodka.

Instead of vodka, cognac or pure alcohol is sometimes used. In general, any strong alcohol-containing drink will do, the main thing is that it contains as few impurities and additives as possible. The red pepper itself as a last resort can be replaced with ground.

Recipe:

  1. Wash the pepper thoroughly and chop finely.
  2. Place it in a glass container and add alcohol.
  3. Cover with a lid and place in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
  4. Leave to infuse for two weeks.
