“In order for hair to grow faster, first of all, it is necessary to improve microcirculation. Any method will do: scalp massage, niacin sprays, and other stimulants. In addition, you need to take care of the root, nourishing it with useful substances and vitamins. Don't forget to take proper care of your hair shaft. The complex should include a mild shampoo for daily use, conditioner for colored and damaged hair, mask, leave-in spray treatment, oil for the ends, thermal protection. Hair growth sprays work great when paired with Darsonval. Apply to scalp. Massage your scalp lightly. Then use Darsonval for 5-10 minutes. Vitamins and minerals for hair growth can also be supplemented with ginkgo biloba extract, which stimulates blood circulation and improves scalp microcirculation. It is also an excellent antihypoxant. The daily dosage is 300-400 mg."

A nicotinic acid

Topical nicotinic acid is still the simplest, cheapest and most effective treatment for hair growth. The result can be easily explained: it dilates blood vessels, improving blood circulation and contributing to the saturation of follicles with oxygen and nutrients. Nicotinic acid has only one drawback: in its pure form, it is not recommended for everyone to use it - it can cause peeling, lasting about a week, and a headache.

Price: 33 rub. for 10 ampoules

Lotion "Hair Expert", Evalar

If you have an intolerance to pure nicotinic acid, use sprays based on it. They contain additional ingredients that relieve irritation and have anti-inflammatory, firming and androgenic effects: nettle, chamomile, horsetail, yarrow extract and other ingredients.

In the early 90s, a hair loss remedy was patented in America, which included three ingredients: L-carnitine, ascorbic acid and vitamin PP (nicotiamide). Lotion "Expert Hair" from Evolar is similar to it, but there are more active components in it: L-arginine, panthenol, biotin, vitamin B6 and others. The product is applied 3-4 times a week - no need to rinse. The course of treatment is at least two months.

Price: 600 rub.

Usma juice and oil

Usma juice and oil is an excellent natural activator of hair growth. They contain linoleic, linolenic, oleic acids, mustard oil and other useful substances that actively nourish and saturate the bulbs. But these products are not suitable for blondes - they can dye their hair, giving it an unwanted shade.

Price: about 700 rubles.

Chemerichnaya water

Chemerichnaya water has been used for many years to treat scalp - it perfectly eliminates fungal lesions, rashes, dandruff, and fights parasites. It improves the structure of the hair and stimulates growth very strongly. Chemeritsa is a rather poisonous plant. Chemerichny water should be kept away from pets. It should be applied 4 times a week for 30-40 minutes. You can see what hair products the stars use here.

Lotion for stimulating hair growth Qilib, Galderma

For those whose hair grows to a certain length, and then stops growing, I recommend trying this lotion. The active ingredients it contains increase the growth phase by eliminating subclinical inflammation in the hair follicles. In addition, the agent has an antiandrogenic effect, it also goes well with minoxidil.

Price: 1 871 rub.

Firming Hair Growth Toner with Rosemary, Weleda

The product is completely natural - it does not contain silicones, mineral oils, fragrances, preservatives and dyes (organic lovers will definitely not pass by). The main active ingredient is rosemary extract, known for its tonic and activating properties. Additional active ingredients include horseradish leaf extract, which improves tissue trophism, and essential oils. Read about 50 essential hair products here.

Do not forget about scalp massage - it is useful for stimulating metabolic processes.
