Tincture of red pepper

Perhaps, many have heard of such a means to strengthen hair, as a tincture of red pepper. In the composition of pepper there is vitamin A, which promotes hair growth, as well as vitamin C, essential oils, carotenoids, capsaicin, saponins and other valuable ingredients.

Tincture of red pepper on alcohol promotes expansion of pores in the area of the scalp. This, in turn, stimulates a rush of blood and improves local blood circulation of the hair follicles and the integument of the scalp as a whole. But at the expense of this action, the usual mask of tincture of red pepper can accelerate the growth of hair, if it is used regularly. After a month, the hair becomes shiny, strong and healthy.

Any means based on red pepper must be rubbed only into the scalp, and not along the entire length of the hair. Otherwise, the curls can become dry and get unhealthy appearance. Tincture of red pepper, the method of using which is rather simple, is sold in pharmacy kiosks of any city. You can also cook it yourself.

Preparation of tincture

The process of cooking is quite simple. It is necessary to pour the crushed red pepper in a ratio of 1: 8 (preferably 96%), then place this mixture in a sealed bottle and put it in a dark place. Insist for about a month, shaking the tincture every few days. Such shaking is recommended for one minute. A month later strain the tincture through gauze and store in a refrigerated place.

You can use strong tincture, which is perfect for oily hair. But if you have dry curls, it is desirable to dilute the tincture with oil in a ratio of 1: 4 before use. Before applying the product on the scalp, be prepared to feel a burning sensation that contributes to the flow of blood, resulting in effective hair growth. In addition, this procedure will help saturate the hair follicles with oxygen and the beneficial substances that make up the red pepper.

That is why this tincture is very widely used in the composition of various masks for hair growth. Tincture of red pepper is used as a pure form, and is part of other products.
