Hops cones are a versatile and time-proven hair conditioner

Why the medicinal plant is useful for hair

In addition to the dioecious nettle and root of the burdock, folk healers have always added hop cones to their medicines, which help restore a beautiful appearance to the hair. And after studying the chemical composition of copulation, they began to be actively used in official medicine and cosmetology. Extract of hop cones contains therapeutic shampoos, rinses, lotions, balms and masks. By purchasing such a tool, the buyer decides several problems at once. Regular rinsing or washing of hair has a multifaceted effect:

• eliminates oily, dry or combination dandruff;
• increases the elasticity of hair due to the moistening of the cutting tips;
• returns a healthy shine;
• accelerates growth;
• prevents hair loss.

Thanks to the presence of useful cones in cones, microcirculation improves in the scalp. Normalization of blood circulation causes full-fledged supply of all layers of the epidermis with nutrients, microelements, vitamins. Another useful property of hops is the acceleration of cell regeneration. The keratinized scales quickly separate from the surface of the head when combing or washing hair, and in their place new healthy tissues are formed.

Warning: Often the hair begins to drop strongly from the pathology developing in the body: endocrine disorders, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. This negative symptom is diagnosed in patients with increased nervous excitability and emotional instability.

Vitamins

When preparing their cones of hops, all vitamins contained in plant raw materials pass into it. These biologically active substances, penetrating the scalp, help to strengthen the hair follicle. The chemical composition of hops is unique - it includes exactly those vitamins that are necessary for the health of ringlets:

• thiamin speeds up the metabolic processes, which leads to rapid hair growth;
• nicotinic acid prevents premature loss, prevents loss of coloring pigments;
• ascorbic acid increases local immunity, protects the hair from the negative effects of external factors;
• tocopherol fights with active radicals, restores the hair elasticity and shine;
• vitamin K suppresses the spread of inflammatory processes, takes part in the destruction of pathogenic yeast fungi, normalizes the permeability of blood vessels.

But the greatest value in the therapy of damaged hair is choline. This vitamin is found in all cell membranes. Therefore, after the application of decoctions of hop cones, the hair begins to harden from the inside, and the damaged structures are gradually restored. This ability is actively used by cosmetologists in the treatment of split ends.

In pharmacies, properly dried hop cones can be purchased to prepare healing infusions.

Organic acids

The presence of organic acid in any vegetable raw material significantly expands its range of application. And in the horseradish hoppers there are several such chemical compounds:

• Oily acid forms a protective film on the hair, preventing excessive evaporation of the liquid, which contributes to permanent moistening. Such a barrier protects curls from dangerous ultraviolet radiation, high or low temperature, chemicals in the gaseous state;
• acetic acid is the most effective means of restoring natural shine to hair. This organic compound helps to weight and straighten curly locks;
• hmeedubilnaya acid significantly accelerates the growth of hair when using hop cones in warming cosmetics, for example, in masks;
• formic acid shows the properties of antiseptic, preventing the spread of pathogenic bacteria and pathogenic fungi, reduces the severity of inflammatory processes;
• humulenic acid is found in the essential oils of cones. When applying any cosmetic or therapeutic agent with hops, the general toning effect of a useful plant is manifested.

Thanks to valerian acid, cone extract is a part of pharmacological preparations with sedative properties. And when applied to the scalp, the organic compound removes the skin itch, which causes suffering to the person with seborrhea and dermatitis.

Biologically active substances

Freshly picked and dried hops come from a pleasant aroma. So the various essential oils, possessing curative properties for hair, manifest themselves. They reduce the ability of pathogenic microorganisms to actively grow and multiply. The powerful disinfecting effect of essential oils is used by dermatologists and cosmetologists to improve the scalp, improve blood supply to hair follicles. What else are the cones of hops for hair:

• natural wax forms a dense film that makes hair thicker and stronger;
• Lupulin calms the scalp, prevents the formation of infectious foci by pathogenic bacteria - staphylococci and streptococci;
• tannins make hair stronger, eliminate their fragility and loss.

It is worth mentioning separately phytoncides - natural organic compounds that can have a rejuvenating effect on all tissues of the human body. After penetrating them into the epidermis and hair follicles, the production of elastin and collagen is accelerated and increased. It is on their availability that the health and beautiful look of the hair depends.

Proper use of medicinal plants

Dermatologists and cosmetologists recommend not using infusions of hop cones more than three times a week. This prohibition extends not only to liquid dosage forms, but also to compresses, masks. The fact is that plant raw materials contain phytoestrogens. These biologically active substances are similar in their therapeutic effects to estrogens. Hormonal compounds are used to eliminate symptoms of menopause:

• tides;
• headaches;
• increased nervous excitability.

But for girls and young women, as the phytoestrogens accumulate in the tissues, the menstrual cycle is disrupted. Therefore, after 10-15 treatment procedures should be arranged a month-long break. Natural compounds during this time will be eliminated from the body, and the use of funds with hops will be absolutely safe.

Based on the basic infusion of hop cones, masks and compresses can be prepared to accelerate hair growth

basic mortar Dry vegetable raw materials have no therapeutic effect. To extract nutrients and biologically active substances it is necessary to make the initial solution. On its basis, masks, compresses, lotions and rinses are already being prepared. You can collect and dry hop cones yourself or buy them at the nearest pharmacy. Prepare the infusion by observing such an algorithm of actions:

Before applying to the scalp, a few drops of infusions should be rubbed into the wrist or fold of the elbow. If half an hour later the skin does not have reddening, you can safely proceed to the treatment procedure.

Cosmetic and medical products

Infusion and decoction can be used as an independent product as a conditioner. But on its basis more effective means are being prepared:

• Mask. During the preparation of the base infusion, in addition to cones of hops, the nettle leaf and the root of the thistle are added to the enameled container in equal proportions. The resulting thick liquid is rubbed into the scalp, left for 25-30 minutes, and then rinsed off with warm water;
• Rinsing agent. In the initial infusion add a decoction of chamomile or succession in the same amount. The resulting solution is rinsed with hair after each head wash.

If a person has excessively oily scalp, the sebaceous glands produce a lot of secretion. It gives an unhealthy shine to the hair, clogs the skin pores. To restore the optimal functioning of sebaceous glands, folk healers recommend rubbing a hint of hop into the scalp. To do this, dry cones are filled with vodka and insisted in a dark place for two weeks. Before use, the product should be diluted with an equal amount of water.

Recommendation: In the cones of hops contain special pigments and organic acids, giving a beautiful shine to chestnut hair. But they are also able to make blond strands of blondes much darker. Even a single application of medical infusion returns the color of their original color to the colored hair.
