The role of Vitamin A. What is it contained in? What vitamins and why should you take them?

Vitamin E is very good for health

To keep your hair looking good, healthy and protected from external negative impacts, simple cosmetics to care for them are not enough. In order for your hair to always remain in excellent condition, you need to use various substances- for example, such as vitamins A and E, which promote the growth and strengthening of curls. About them and we'll talk In this article.

Vitamin A, also known as retinol acetate, makes hair elastic and strong, at the same time regulating the functioning of the sebaceous glands of the scalp. It also improves skin immunity and promotes restoration processes in her cells. If there is a lack of this substance in the body, the strands will fade, become brittle and split, and may begin to fall out. Also, with vitamin A deficiency, dandruff often occurs.

The health of your hair depends on the condition of your scalp. Vitamin E (tocopherol acetate) is responsible for improving blood circulation in hair follicles located on it, supplying them with oxygen and nutrients. Due to this, the growth process of strands is accelerated, their fragility is reduced, and the curls become many times stronger and thicker. Vitamin E also promotes rapid skin regeneration - small wounds and scratches on it begin to heal faster.

• Consumption of vitamins A and E

These useful material found in regular food. Also, retinol and tocopherol can be purchased at the pharmacy and used as an independent remedy, or used as a component for masks. Also in specialized stores you can easily find cosmetical tools hair care products that contain vitamins A and E.

Recipes for healing masks

Here is the simplest possible mask that will make your curls silky and shiny:

For strands middle length take one tablespoon of vitamins A and E, as well as any base oil(olive, almond, etc.). The mixture should be applied to dry, unwashed hair. Subsequently, the mask is washed off with water and shampoo, then you need to apply a balm. If you have long hair, simply increase the amount of the mixture and do not be afraid to make a mistake in the proportions - if you wish, you can increase the amount of one ingredient in the mask at the expense of another.

Another variant oil mask, well suited for those who suffer from dry curls - this is avocado oil (2 tbsp), vitamins A, E (1 tbsp) and 10-15 drops of ylang-ylang oil mixed together.

• Herbal mask

This composition is good for strengthening hair and giving it a vibrant, healthy shine. Take nettle, chamomile and Linden blossom in dry form, pour boiling water over them for 45 minutes, letting them brew. The resulting broth should be filtered through cheesecloth and added to it a tablespoon of vitamins A and E, as well as raw egg yolk. Mix the result thoroughly and apply to the entire length of the strands for an hour.

In what products can these substances be found?

Although the human body always has reserves of vitamins A and E, they must be regularly replenished to avoid deficiency, which has a detrimental effect on curls. Adding products containing retinol and tocopherol to your daily diet can help with this.

What does vitamin A contain?

• egg yolks;
• natural dairy products (cream, milk, etc.);
• pumpkin;
• rowan berries;
• liver;
• carrot.

A little trick: retinol can be found in all vegetables and fruits that are red or orange in color.

What foods contain vitamin E?

• vegetable oils - such as olive, sunflower, peanut, etc.;
• egg whites;
• liver;
• berries - cherries, blueberries, sweet cherries;
• fresh herbs - parsley, spinach, etc.;
• tomatoes;
• bell pepper;
• cabbage (including broccoli);
• sunflower seeds;
• peaches and nectarines;
• apples;
• olives.

• Vitamins A and E can be purchased at any pharmacy both in liquid form and in capsule form. The price for them in liquid form is about 150 rubles; in capsule form they can cost a little more. If you plan to make masks with beneficial substances, you need “liquid” retinol and tocopherol.

• If for some reason you don’t want to make a complex mixture for a mask, just pour one tablespoon of vitamin A or E in liquid form into a balm or shampoo. You can also add them to ready-made masks.

• As for the capsules, they are taken orally - this is convenient if you are not a fan of homemade masks. One of the drugs containing both retinol and tocopherol is called “Aevit”. You will need to take capsules in a gelatin shell in a course.

• When rubbing medicinal mixtures Apply them into your curls along their entire length. Using vitamins A and E only, for example, on the ends of hair affected by brittleness is wrong. Such problem areas- this is already a “dead” zone of hair, there is no blood vessels, which means that vitamins will not be absorbed and no healing effect it will not be rendered on the strand.
