Chili in hair products – ready-made & homemade
Clearly, you can use both ready-made or DIY chili products during your home hair routine. Both options have good and bad sides.
The fans of home hair care are fond of preparing their own products with chili e.g. an oil or mask – it is a more natural solution which can be adapted to your individual needs and you know exactly the ingredients you apply. However, it turns out that ready-made chili hair products generally have better composed list of ingredients and give stronger effect yet they are pricier.
How to make your own chili hair products? Take a look at two easiest, effective and budget recipes.
Recipe 1. Chili oil for hair growth
A home hair growth chili oil is extremely easy to make. Finely chop one chili (with the seeds which have most capsaicin), macerate (soak) it in a chosen oil (e.g. argan oil, olive oil, almond oil). Rub your hair growth oil in scalp an hour or two before a hair wash.
Recipe 2. Chili mask for hair growth
Mix a few spoons of plain yogurt with one spoon each of dried chili pepper and favourite oil e.g. argan oil. The oil nourishes, the yogurt soothes irritations whereas chili pepper boosts hair growth. Apply the mask to your scalp before washing routine.
