Health and beauty of hair depend not only on that, it is how correct to wash and comb hair, but also from what food allowance at the person and what vitamins are present or are absent in his organism. In this article we will consider how vitamin A influences strengthening of hair: what norm how to use vitamin B capsules for hair and also the correct application of curative masks and cosmetics.
Advantage of Retinolum for hair and head skin
Retinolum (vitamin A) is the most popular and inexpensive means for treatment of indumentum, its strengthening and return of gloss.
The advantage of Retinolum is that it:
- strengthens a bulb, preventing premature loss of indumentum;
- returns elasticity and softness to a head of hear;
- protects from harmful ultra-violet radiation (for example, at a bright sun);
- normalizes a condition of sebaceous glands of head skin (prevents the excessive fat content or dryness of the head);
- prevents the section of tips;
- improves a condition of roots in general.
Whether you know? Standard daily rate of the dropped-out hair of the person — to 100. Considerable excess of an indicator leads "an excessive hair loss", or "baldness" to the diagnosis.
In addition, vitamin A helps skin to develop a keratin in bigger quantity, and it, in turn, smoothes structure, reduces section and adds natural gloss to a hair. Retinolum allows to be acquired better to natural oils which it is used in various balms, conditioners and masks — it prevents oxidation of cages. Vitamin A together with hair oil is capable to cure even very injured and dry hair — it is only important to know how it is correct to use it.
As the deficiency of vitamin affects
Human hair — quite weak element which constantly needs external fertilizing and feed. If head skin lacks necessary substances, the head of hear becomes fragile, dry, strongly splits, loses color and natural gloss, dandruff develops. Avitaminosis can lead to strong loss of a hair, and in especially hard cases — to full baldness. Retinolum has not external effect — does not recover hair only outside, adding it gloss, and works from within, regenerating structure and feeding all cells of a hair.
Important! At all the advantage, Retinolum has also an essential shortcoming — its overdose will result in boomerang effect — a hair loss.
Where to take vitamin
Vitamin A can be received as an artificial way — from the released elixirs and oils and other forms of medications, and natural (from food).
Products sources
Certainly, vitamin A is useful not only the fact that it strengthens and restores a head of hear — it also restores the immune system of the person, makes vosstanavlivayushche-oxidizing processes, participates in formation of bones and teeth, promotes protection of an organism against various infectious and viral diseases. Products with the largest content of vitamin A are:
- plant origin — carrots, sweet pepper, pumpkin, parsley greens, hop, a sage, apples, grapes, peaches, watermelon and a sea-buckthorn.
- animal origin — cod-liver oil, beef liver, milk, cottage cheese, sour cream, cheese, caviar, an egg yolk.
Whether you know? For the first time vitamin A was produced from carrots — this product heads the list of products with the highest content of Retinolum. From the English designation of carrots (carrot) there was a name of all substances making group of vitamins A — carotinoids.
The shortcoming or surplus of Retinolum have equally negative effect on an organism: in the first case the immunity strongly decreases, the condition of skin worsens (head skin including), insomnia and big susceptibility to viral diseases develops. The surplus is characterized by bleeding of gums, headaches, nausea, excessive dryness of skin.
The standard daily rate of vitamin A for the adult is 900-1000 mkg, for pregnant women the figure increases to 1200 mkg. Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to calculate how many and what products it is necessary to eat in day to receive enough this element therefore it is necessary to resort to the special medicines containing Retinolum in the concentrated look. Sometimes correction of food will not yield in general any results.

Purchased cosmetics
The pharmaceutics and cosmetology releases huge amount of care products for hair and head skin today.
- Shampoo with Retinolum. On labels of many shampoos the vitamin complexes which are its part — not only Retinolum, but also carotene, collagen, a keratin, biotin, vitamin C are specified. However, if as treatment of a hair to apply only shampoo, the effect will be low-notable: first, concentration of Retinolum in shampoo is very small that it is not enough for full treatment. Secondly, shampoos in itself in principle cannot treat structure of a hair — they too small amount of time are on a head of hear and quickly wash off.
- Vitamin A in ampoules. The most popular and convenient means for moistening of head skin. On many responses, after such use of Retinolum the roots of hairs became stronger — such form of production of vitamin A is the most effective at a hair loss. However, when using such means, it is necessary to be careful: strong concentration of vitamin A in an ampoule, at the wrong application, renders strong irritant action on head skin, and can even cause allergic reaction and opposite effect — loss of a hair. To check whether there is an allergy to Retinolum, it is possible in such a way: to apply a substance droplet on wrists. If within a day there was no reddening of skin or appearance of an itch — means, you are not subject to an allergy to this component.
- Masks for hair with vitamin A. Are the sparing means which make soft impact on head skin. They do not contain excessive concentration of Retinolum (unlike capsules or ampoules), and not too small, as in shampoos. In the majority the masks do not cause an allergy, are comfortable in application, however quite long time can be necessary for emergence of the first positive results. Usually masks are applied not more often than 2 times a week therefore to see how hairs become soft and brilliant, you can not earlier, than in a month.
Important! At excessively sensitive head skin, it is impossible to use Retinolum in ampoules — it irritates the gentle skin, will cause her disease or appearance of allergic rash.
National recipes of masks
Traditional medicine enjoys considerably bigger popularity, than traditional cosmetology — there is an opinion that national masks and vegetable oils are better acquired by an organism. There are such recipes with vitamin A for growth and strengthening of hair:
