Reviews: “Pepper really helped me”
I have a problem - uneven hair growth on my forehead (that is, I put it in a ponytail - and it looks like there are receding hairlines on the sides). I rubbed it with burdock - it didn't seem to do much good. Then I took a tincture of capsicum and rubbed it on these very areas every other day for a month. And - lo and behold! small hairs began to grow. It turns out that I just rubbed the tincture in and didn’t wash it off.
Guest, http://www. woman. ru/beauty/hair/thread/4043393/
PERTSOVKA really helped me; 6 years ago it stopped severe postpartum hair loss. the hair then grew back in clumps. And now I have AGA (male pattern androgenetic alopecia), thinning of the parietal region according to the male pattern with the formation of bald patches. In short, I lost 50% of my hair in 3 years. So I've been using it for 4 months now. The hair loss has stopped, the hair has become stronger and new hair is growing all over the head. At the same time, the more I use, the more new hairs appear... Even the patches have begun to heal, only now... Although much later than the rest of the hair, they are growing back... At this rate, I will soon completely restore all my thickness! I wish the same for you.
Nicole, http://www. woman. ru/beauty/hair/thread/4043393/
I’ve already had vitiligo... hmm... let me think... well, probably for about 8 years! I tried a lot of things during this time. And this summer I was treated with red pepper tincture - smear the spots three times a day and spend time in the sun. In general, I did the procedures with pepper not very regularly (but every day without fail) for a month. During this time, the spots became covered with dark dots, and I believe that this method will help me.
Glitzygirl, https://provitiligo. com/forum/topic/1689-St. John's wort-duckweed-pepper/
ABOUT useful properties I've heard about hot pepper for a long time. It is used to stimulate hair growth. Today, such a tincture can be bought ready-made. During the first procedures, I diluted this solution along with olive oil so as not to harm the skin. And then, as expected, diluting it in water. Nothing bad happened. This procedure must be performed at least twice a week and so on for a month. Further, this tincture can be used much less frequently, as if to maintain the effect. Exposure time is about an hour. After taking one such course, I noticed significant changes. The hair structure has become significantly stronger, hair loss has stopped, and growth has appeared. In a month, the long-awaited one and a half centimeters, which had simply broken before.

Is it possible to strengthen hair with a cheap product from a pharmacy or do you still need expensive professional ones? medicinal products? I have asked this question more than once during the period of off-season hair loss, I tried strengthening ampoules from many well-known manufacturers (Phyto, L’Oreal Professionnel, Kerastase, Vichy), and this spring I decided to try pepper tincture. It not only improves blood circulation, it also acts as a conductor for the delivery nutrients from and , but let's look at everything in order.
Every girl experiences more intense hair loss at the beginning of spring and at the end of autumn, there are many reasons for this, we won’t find out today, but we will take specific measures to keep the loss to a minimum, for me every hair counts. Since I started preventing inter-seasonal hair loss in advance, the loss has become much less. But hair loss can reflect problems within the body, because it is the hair that is the first to respond to problems in the body; in the article you can read in more detail about the problem of hair loss.
In addition to external measures, I developed a regimen for myself to take vitamins to prevent hair loss. Spring: in mid-February I start taking complex vitamins for hair (for prevention purposes, it’s enough to take a month, and if treating hair loss, then at least three months), these can be a wide variety of complexes, for example, I like Revalid, Biona, Perfectil, plus I add iron to these vitamins, I always have low hemoglobin, and in the spring it drops even more, and on the advice of the doctor, in the spring I take iron for prevention purposes, I like Ferretab, Tardiferon. Autumn: from the beginning of September I again start taking complex vitamins for hair, plus in addition to these vitamins I additionally drink biotin (vitamin H, B 7), it is different manufacturers, I usually choose Medobiotin (Germany), biotin is very important vitamin for hair.
For me, this scheme works great, but this does not mean that it will help everyone, and of course, before taking any medications, you should definitely consult a doctor!
Now let's move on to external measures. As I already said, I tried many different methods of strengthening my hair, and this spring I decided to study the tincture of capsicum, I spent a long time studying information on the Internet and walked around this tincture, but still decided to try it. And for me it turned out to be effective, for two months I made hair mask No. 1 (at the end of the article), the results impressed me very much, my hair really became stronger and began to fall out less, plus my hair began to grow faster. Why did I choose sea buckthorn oil? It is sea buckthorn oil that is recommended for alopecia (intensive hair loss); it also contains a high content of vitamin A, E and other beneficial substances that better penetrate to the hair roots with the help of tincture. And it is considered the best oil for hair loss, which is famous for its strengthening properties. And for better penetration of the mask, I first carried out and then applied the mask.
Gone are the days when I thought that red capsicum was just a seasoning, it turns out it can:
- strengthens hair follicles;
- prevents hair loss;
- improves blood supply to the scalp;
- improves nutrition of hair follicles;
- accelerates hair growth;
- improve the functioning of the sebaceous glands;
- dries out the scalp.
The capsicum itself has many healing properties(vitamin A, C, carotene, rutin...)
Capsicum tincture can be made at home: 200 ml. vodka or alcohol, cut two pods of red hot pepper and leave in a dark place for two weeks, or you can buy a ready-made tincture at a pharmacy for a ridiculous price, then why make it at home?
Capsicum tincture is quite an aggressive agent, so you need to use it with caution:
- do not use the tincture if there is damage or irritation to the scalp;
- do not use the tincture. if your scalp is very sensitive;
- use the tincture with caution if your scalp is dry, mix with base oil and apply no more than once a week;
- if you have blond hair, the tincture can give your hair a slightly reddish tint at the roots;
- do not let the tincture get into your eyes or facial skin;
- buy a brush for applying hair dye, it is not expensive at all and apply the mask with it, it is very convenient to part your hair and apply the mask.
