Depending on the structure of the hair and the amount of oil itself, it requires one to two washes maximum. After using it, your hair doesn’t look greasy, but rather stays clean longer.

Regular use of rose oil works wonders for your hair.

You can use rose oil for hair either as part of other masks or on its own.
Before use, the oil is heated to 40 degrees in a water bath, then applied either to the ends or to the entire length.
The hair is tucked under a shower cap, and the head is wrapped in a towel on top.
Keep this mask for 30 minutes to several hours (you can even leave it overnight). Wash off with shampoo

Rules of application

To maximize the effect of home cosmetic procedures, you must follow some rules for using rose oil, in particular:

Rose oil should not be heated to temperatures above 36 - 38 degrees, as in this case it begins to destroy many valuable substances that quickly evaporate, reducing the effectiveness of the product. For this reason, essential oil should not be added to hot masks or other cosmetic mixtures. If one of the mask products requires heating to a higher temperature, then rose oil should be added at the end of mixing the composition, when its temperature drops to the required value.
Do not exceed the recommended dosage of rose oil in cosmetic products. Do not think that the more oil is added to the product, the more effective it will become. Excessive concentrations of this substance can cause harm to the skin.
Ready-made masks and creams must be applied exclusively to prepared skin, which should not only be washed with the usual product, but also steamed.
Any mask with the addition of rose oil should remain on the skin for no longer than 20 minutes.
Products containing rose oil should be used to eliminate any cosmetic defects no more than 2 times a week, with an interval of 3 to 4 days. If the products are used for preventive purposes and to preserve beauty, then it is enough to apply them once a week.
It is important not to get carried away with using rose oil products. Cosmetologists recommend carrying out procedures in a cycle consisting of 15 sessions, after which you need to take a break.

Benefits and uses of rose oil: tips and reviews

Inna, 23 years old, Moscow

Since childhood, my hair has split. The food was good, I didn’t use rubber bands. We had sex and that’s it. Sheared. When she grew up, she began cutting hair with hot scissors and did various procedures to seal her hair, but to no avail. A friend brought rose oil from a trip and was advised to buy it there. It cost a lot, but she was promised just crazy results. I tried applying this oil to my hair before bed and rinsing it off in the morning. I did 5 procedures. My hair felt better, but I still had quite a lot of split ends, although less than before using the oil. Then I decided to trim the ends for the last time in order to continue using the oil, because it prevents split ends. Surprisingly, it helped and for six months now I have beautiful, healthy hair without a single split hair. Now I recommend this to everyone.
