Stimulating growth: how to apply externally correctly

Nicotinic acid has already saved more than one head of hair. It is effective even for baldness. It is only important to choose the appropriate method of application.

As an independent remedy

Hair treatment with nicotinic acid is carried out in courses of one month with breaks of the same duration. Every day, conduct a session in three stages.

1. Wash and towel dry your hair. The shampoo must be free of silicones, otherwise a film will form in the skin, making it difficult for the product to penetrate.
2. Apply. Open the ampoule immediately before use. If the scalp is dry, it is better to dilute the injection solution with water in a 1:1 ratio.
   Distribute the contents of the ampoule over the scalp, lightly rubbing the product with your fingertips. If one ampoule is not enough, there is no need to use a second one, so as not to lead to oversaturation or allergies. The next day, start the session from the place that was left untreated the day before.
3. Dry your hair naturally. Never use a hair dryer. Heat neutralizes the effect of the vitamin, and all your efforts will be in vain.

Shaking the liquid out of the ampoule into a separate container is not easy. In addition, there is a risk of injury from sharp edges. To make the procedure as comfortable and safe as possible, remove the product from the ampoule with a syringe and be sure to release it from the needle. Now it’s easier to squeeze the vitamin onto your fingers or directly into your parting.

In the shampoo

The easiest way is to use nicotinic acid in ampoules for hair growth, mixing it with shampoo. After just four weeks, you can achieve a significant improvement in the appearance of your hair. The procedure is extremely simple and consists of three stages.

1. Mix with shampoo. Immediately before use, mix the detergent with vitamin PP in a separate plastic container.
2. Apply. Distribute the mixture over damp hair and lather well.
3. Leave on and rinse off. Leave the product on for three to five minutes and rinse thoroughly with warm water.

When choosing shampoo, make sure that the composition is as natural as possible. The chemical components of the detergent neutralize the effect of the vitamin.

For rinsing

An herbal rinse will help prevent hair loss. If you still encounter this problem, supplement the decoction with nicotinic acid. One ampoule is taken per liter of liquid. After 30 days of use, be sure to take a break of similar duration.

Vitamin B3 works best in combination with decoctions of chamomile, calendula, nettle, ginger, etc. Plants can be brewed individually or combined.

Shiny hair flowing like a waterfall is an indispensable attribute of attractiveness. Women go to great lengths to meet the standard.

In medicine, a solution of nicotinic acid is used to treat diseases associated with metabolic disorders and acute vitamin deficiency. They are the main causes of hair problems.

Niacin exists in the form of whitish small grains, highly soluble in hot water. But more often vitamin PP is found in the form of a solution in ampoules or tablets.

It is usually injected intravenously, since intramuscular injection very painful. The vasodilating properties of nicotinic acid are also used in physiotherapeutic treatment of hair with electrophoresis.

What are the benefits for hair?

Hair is a litmus test that reflects the state of the body. They are the first to show the negative changes occurring in it: they become thinner, grow slower, fade, and begin to fall out.

If no more serious reasons, then this often happens due to a deficiency of vitamin B. After all, it is the one that affects keratin protein, the main component of hair.

Acceleration of hair growth

When nicotinic acid is applied to the scalp, it gives a warming effect. Hair follicles that are “dormant” due to stress or diet can be perfectly stimulated.

Vitamin PP activates the blood supply to the blood vessels of the scalp, which gives the follicles additional energy for faster hair growth. As a result, the condition of the hair improves, it becomes more elastic, thicker and holds its shape better.

Baldness treatment

The vasodilating property of niacin helps in the treatment of hair loss. Hair restoration occurs due to increased blood flow in the skin, saturation of hair follicles with oxygen and vitamins.
