  People are used to the fact that sunflower oil is required for cooking. It turns out this is a big misconception. This product contains vitamin E, which makes it a useful component for cooking. However, sunflower oil eliminates dandruff on hair of any type. To do this, there are many recipes for balms and masks.

  Causes of dandruff

  The main factor in the occurrence of white peeling in the hair is seborrheic fungus. Depending on the irritating causes, which are accompanied by dry or oily skin, an unpleasant symptom occurs. Dandruff on the head occurs due to hereditary predisposition. Otherwise, there is a violation in the work of the endocrine system and a weakening of the immune system.

  Human nutrition affects the overall health of the body. Therefore, the manifestation of white peeling is attributed to bad habits, diseases of the digestive system and nerve disorders. Dandruff often manifests itself in the spring, when beriberi occurs. In addition, the reasons for the development of seborrheic fungus are:

  1. Incorrect work of the sebaceous glands.
  2. Hypothermia of the scalp.
  3. Allergy to the chemical composition of shampoo or balm.

  Some tissues can cause irritation of the dermis, which provokes a fungus. Follow the rules for hair care. To do this, you need to read the instructions for paints and other chemistry for the head.

  Folk remedies - sunflower oil

  

  There are many alternative medicine methods in the fight against dandruff. Essential oils are the best solution. Sunflower is one of these. It contains vitamins that help in solving problems with normal, oily, dry and brittle hair.

  Useful properties of sunflower oil for dandruff

  The product contains the following components:

  • triglycerides;
  • tocopherol;
  • retinol;
  • calciferol;
  • B vitamins.

  In addition, sunflower oil contains minerals that give curls protection from external influences. This refers to the keratin layer, which is damaged due to free radicals.

  Action on the scalp and hair

  

  Sunflower oil provides moisture to the skin. If the hair is brittle and dry, then the product eliminates this. With seborrheic fungus, microcracks appear from which fluid is released. This contributes to itching and crusting. The oil helps to heal such skin lesions. Chemicals do not provide natural nutrients, which leads to a lack of them in the hair follicles.

  With a positive impact, the curls become soft, strong and natural shine returns. Nutrients coat the hair and provide protection from UV rays.

  Oil production methods

  The product is obtained from sunflower seeds. The composition of substances, smell, and color depend on the processing of raw materials. Oil is obtained in 2 ways:

  1. Hot pressing - has a dark golden color with a yellowish or greenish tint. The resulting product is aromatic.
  2. Cold pressed - the result is a light oil with a not pronounced taste and aroma.

  Contraindications for use

  

  When treating dandruff with sunflower oil, you need to be aware of the consequences of improper use. You can not use the product if a person has an individual intolerance to the composition. Otherwise, there is an allergic reaction to the drug. If oil is added to the mask or balm for the first time, then skin testing is carried out.. After that, apply to the hair.

  Uses of sunflower oil for hair health

  The tool has a dense and thick structure. The product is difficult to distribute over the entire length of the hair. Due to the oily-fatty consistency, with the wrong dosage, people can not wash off such a mask from curls the first time. Therefore, during the preparation of balms, it is required to combine the main component with other ingredients.

  Hot oil wrap

  

  To get rid of dandruff, a thermal wrap is recommended. To prepare the product, you will need to heat sunflower oil (50 ml) in a water bath. Then, using a brush, apply the product from the roots to the ends of the hair. After the hair is wrapped in cling film and left for 1 hour. During this period of time, it is advised to warm everything up with a hairdryer. When the hour has passed, then the mask is washed off the hair and washed with shampoo.

  Herbal sunflower balm

  To prepare the product, you will need to make decoctions of calendula (30 ml), chamomile (30 ml) and oak bark (50 ml). Beat egg white (1 piece) separately and add sunflower oil (20 ml). The liquid is stirred until foam is formed. Add prepared decoctions to the product and beat.

  The mask is applied after a shower for 15 minutes. Wash off the product with plenty of water.
