How to use nicotinic acid for hair growth - the advice of a trichologist
The sequence of correct application of nicotinic acid is as follows:
1. We open one ampoule of nicotinic acid and, using a syringe, pour its contents into any container. It should be noted that the vitamin when destroyed with air is rapidly destroyed, so it should be applied immediately. Opened ampoules should not be stored categorically.
2. Dip the fingertips into the solution and massage the scalp with massage movements. Nicotinamide must be applied exclusively to clean, washed hair, since grease and dust prevent its penetration into the skin. Silicone shampoos also prevent the vitamin from absorbing into the skin. The product is excellently applied and easily distributed if the hair is slightly wet.
Some women say that it is more convenient for them to apply the solution with a regular syringe. It is best to start with the temples, then distribute by parting.
3. We go with a mask for one or two hours, then wash my hair with shampoo. The specific smell of nicotinic acid will disappear completely.
4. To achieve a sustainable positive result, you must complete a course of one month. If time permits you, then apply the drug every day. After 30 days, you will not recognize your curls. They will acquire a healthy silky sheen, become strong and beautiful. If you want to repeat the course, then do it better after a month's break.
If you decide to use nicotinic acid for hair growth, use the advice of trichologists:
