What are the characteristics of the most popular formulations for increasing hair length will be described in detail in this article.

Before studying the market for cosmetic and folk remedies to increase the rate of hair growth, it is important to understand why exactly their natural growth has slowed down. The following reasons may be the most significant.

• An abundance of chemicals that are used in the process of frequent heat treatment (drying with a hairdryer, straightening with a curling iron, using hot curlers). Due to these procedures, the hair is first of all deprived of precious moisture, which ensures a healthy balance within the hair follicles and uniform growth of the strands.
• Frequent staining also slows down growth, and often it is also accompanied by the loss of strands. Some girls also use too aggressive coloring compositions with a high level of acidity.
• If you don't eat well, your body may not be getting enough nutrients for healthy curls to grow. Meals should be regular and healthy.
• Some ladies suffer from slow hair growth for hereditary reasons. However, this does not negate the fact that the strands need vitamins that come with food.
• One of the reasons may be poor blood flow to the area of ​​hair follicles, in which the main growth process should take place. Circulatory disorders should be promptly treated in medical institutions.
• Certain medications such as steroids and sometimes hormones can slow hair growth. Report potential side effects to your doctor or be prepared for such an effect.
• Trichological-type diseases, which also need to be treated with medication, can be the cause of growth retardation.
• Stressful periods in life often disrupt various processes in the body, including the healthy growth of curls. Whenever possible, the stress level should be controlled to minimize its effect on the body.
• Seasonal vitamin deficiency may well be one of the reasons. If you notice that, in addition to disturbing hair growth, the condition of the nails has also worsened, then this is a sure sign that the body needs vitamins, so add not only healthy food, but also vitamin complexes to the diet.
• Ladies with digestive disorders may also notice that hair length slowly increases over a period of time.

Modern technologies make it possible to improve the process of hair growth by carrying out special procedures - manipulations using the latest equipment and guaranteeing significantly less time and effort to obtain the desired result. Most of these procedures are not very cheap, which is their disadvantage. Among the most popular are the following.

• The introduction of injections under the scalp - mesotherapy. The injections include complexes of necessary biologically active substances that stimulate the processes in the hair follicles.

• If, instead of biologically active substances, liquid nitrogen is introduced under the skin, then such a procedure will be called cryotherapy. It is used to treat alopecia areata. During this procedure, blood flow is restored, due to which the hair growth process is normalized.

• The dermis of the head can also be influenced by micro-discharges of current. This process is called dorsonval. It is used not only to improve the epidermal layer of the skin, but also to stimulate active blood circulation, leading to faster growth of curls.

• One of the latest treatments is laser therapy. Its purpose is to strengthen the hair roots, as well as to activate the process of new hair growth. The laser also has a positive effect on blood circulation under the scalp.

There is an opinion that growing hair, as well as maintaining their density and presentable appearance, is impossible without the help of drugs.

Nicotinic acid is a substance that contains vitamin B3 necessary for the human body. It is an essential aid in the production of enzymes by the body. When a person suffers from a deficiency, this is reflected not only in the growth and condition of the curls, but also in digestion and even in mental processes.

Before applying nicotinic acid, the hair must be washed and then dried using a towel.Then the contents of a pair of ampoules should be evenly rubbed into the dermis of the head and not washed off. In the process of rubbing, you will notice that the skin has warmed up - this is an increase in the rate of blood circulation, which stimulates the growth processes in the bulbs of the strands.

A comprehensive improvement in the condition of curls can be achieved with the help of funds, made on the basis of depanthenol. Many people know depanthenol as a remedy that has a wound-healing effect. But on its basis, various gels, sprays, mousses and even capsules for oral administration are also made. These products help fight hair loss, give damaged strands a healthier look and relieve dandruff problems.

This effect is due to the vitamin B5 included in the product. Its main function is to provide regeneration processes for damaged fibers and an anti-inflammatory effect. In the form of a mousse, the product is used by applying it to a dry, clean head without further rinsing.

The course of taking capsules with vitamin B5 is usually two months with the frequency of taking 1 piece 3 times a day.

You can also buy Sulsena in pharmacy kiosks - a special line of products aimed at both the treatment of diseases of the fungal type and dandruff, and the restoration of damaged strands. In addition, sulsena acts on the hair follicles, activating their work, which, in turn, contributes to the acceleration of hair growth.

If your hairstyle is weakened and, in addition to slow growth, there is also hair loss, then you should try means "Repevit", which is made on the basis of oils such as burdock, cedar, tea tree. It also contains plant components based on a string, burdock rhizomes, silicon, nettle and a complex of vitamins. The effect is aimed at strengthening the hair roots, often there is even an increase in the density of the strands due to the appearance of new hairs. The indisputable advantage of the tool is also its democratic price.

"Repevit" should be applied to the scalp, rubbing for a quarter of an hour, then the hair should be combed, distributing the remnants of the product along their length, without neglecting the ends of the strands, which are often prone to cross-sections. Then put a plastic cap on your head and wrap your head with a towel on top. The product must be washed off after 30 minutes using shampoo.

Another budget drug that stimulates hair growth is "Dimexid". It has a warming effect, which helps to accelerate the hair growth process. As a rule, it is not used in its pure form, but mixed with other components, creating various masks. Among other effects, you can also observe an increase in the density of the strands.

The correct use of the drug is its application as part of a mask on clean, dried curls. "Dimexide" occupies one third of the composition, while sea buckthorn, burdock or castor oils can be taken as the remaining components. Test the mixture for a burning sensation before applying to the scalp. In case of its occurrence, "Dimexidum" should be taken in a smaller proportion in relation to the rest of the ingredients. To achieve the effect, apply the mask 2 times a week for half an hour.

Ointments should be considered as a separate type of medicine. They are considered to be more effective in terms of effect, since, thanks to special components, they are able to penetrate much deeper into the hair. Ointments are usually used for more serious scalp problems, such as thinning hairs combined with profuse hair loss, early gray hair, imbalance in the sebaceous glands, or wounds and ulcers on the dermis of the scalp.

One of the ointments approved by trichologists is "Mival". The composition is distinguished by the presence of numerous natural extracts such as olive oil, lavender, sea buckthorn, cedar, castor and burdock oils in combination with germinated grain oil. Also, the ointment is rich in vitamins F, A, E, D, biocomplexes of silicon and zinc. The combination of the above ingredients creates a powerful effect on the hair follicles and dermis.

The course of using the ointment is 30 days. It is applied every other day with massage movements, rubbing a small amount into the scalp. Depending on the specific problem, the composition should be kept on the hair for 4 to 8 hours and then washed off with a mild shampoo.

If a scalp disease is neglected, a remedy such as Sulsena is often used. It is a paste that contains sulfur. It helps in the production of keratin. He, in turn, is directly involved in the exchange of oxygen between tissue fibers. In order for the scalp to receive the necessary hydration, glycerin is also present in the product.

Apply a two percent composition with a course of 3 months. A small amount of paste is distributed over wet curls and is not washed off for a third of an hour. Then the product is removed with shampoo. The frequency of this procedure is 2 times a week. A month later, it is permissible to repeat the course.

Thus, the main advantage of the products for the growth and health of hair, sold in the pharmacy, is their price and safety of use (taking into account the allergy test and contraindications). Also, the opinion about the listed products is quite proven and in most cases the compositions really have a positive effect on the condition of the skin and curls, and show a real result in increasing the length and density of the strands.

Despite the availability of ready-made cosmetics on the shelves, the popularity of folk recipes for hair growth and improvement of their appearance does not diminish. Folk remedies are considered by many to be the most effective because they involve the use of natural products, the effect of which has been tested over time. Also, such formulations are practically harmless if you are not allergic to specific products, generally available and very budgetary. It is worth paying attention to a number of the most popular folk recipes for stimulating hair growth.

• Onion based mask. To make it, you need to grate the onion head and then mix it with lemon juice, taken in the amount of one teaspoon. Then, in equal proportions (1 tablespoon each), add cognac and honey. After mixing all the ingredients, apply the composition to the scalp for 20 to 30 minutes, wrap it in a towel. The effect will be visible if the procedure is repeated a couple of times in 7 days.

• Another mask can be done based on two egg yolks combined with natural beer, taken in an amount of 50 milliliters. This mask is applied to the skin with massage movements and spread over all the strands. The head must be washed and dried before application. If you keep such a mask on your head for 40 minutes a couple of times every 7 days, the curls will acquire a natural shine and the process of their growth will accelerate.

• A powerful effect for the growth of strands is achieved using a pepper mask, for which you usually take either ground pepper or a tablespoon of tincture made from red pepper.Other ingredients are castor oil, three tablespoons of balm and some water. Apply the mixture a couple of times every 7 days for 60 minutes. But its feature is often a rather strong burning sensation of the scalp.

• In summer, you can pamper your hair mask based on oak bark. Mix 100 grams of bark with the same amount of onion husks, then pour two liters of water and boil for half an hour over low heat. After the broth has cooled and filtered, it can be used as a rinse after washing your hair.

• As an alternative to pepper, a couple of times a week you can do mask based on mustard powder. Sugar, taken in such an amount that the mixture does not burn the head, should be mixed with three tablespoons of powder and diluted with cold water to obtain the consistency of liquid sour cream. The mask is rubbed into the roots of dry strands, a film and a towel are put on top.

In order not to be mistaken with the choice of a means to stimulate hair growth, a number of nuances should be taken into account to help determine the most suitable option.

• First of all, it is important to know the exact reason for the deterioration of the condition and the slowdown in hair growth. Some of them require treatment of the body from the inside, while others only require treatment of the scalp.
• Allergy to any natural ingredients, products or chemicals. For people prone to allergic reactions, it is best to use professional procedures using a laser or microcurrent.
• Consider also the price side of the issue. While folk remedies and some pharmaceuticals are minimal, cosmetic brands, medicines, and treatments can be much more expensive.
• For some, the speed of obtaining the effect is also important, that is, the direct increase in length. The reaction to all drugs can be individual, but if you are not prone to allergies, you can personally test various agents and compare the speed of their effect, or study the reviews of those who have already had experience in independently accelerating hair growth.
