Nettle - the solution to all problems with hair
Since childhood, most people are familiar with the burning features of nettles (when touching live grass, there is burning and itching). However, not everyone is aware of its exceptional healing properties. In folk medicine, it is used for the treatment and prevention of a number of diseases (it is recommended to brew infusions, do rinsing and other methods).

Nettle mask for hair loss, growth and strengthening
Based on user reviews and recommendations of experts, we recommend using fresh dioecious herb or juice for the mask (in this version, 50 grams is enough). To do this, take 100 grams of leaves (glass) and chop in any convenient way (blender, mince or just grind to a uniform consistency in a mortar), add 1 tbsp. l salt (preferably sea, but suitable and cooking) and mix thoroughly the composition. Apply it in the standard way by rubbing on each strand and roots, stand for half an hour. This procedure helps to strengthen the root, enhances growth, prevents fallout.
