If you grind with a blender 200 grams of rye crumb soaked in such an amount of live beer, you will get an excellent tool for stimulating hair growth. For a better effect, add a teaspoon of lemon juice and castor oil to the mixture and - wow! - the mask became not only strengthening, but also nutritious.

For dry hair, a pumpkin mask with olive oil and a mask made of boiled potatoes with the addition of egg yolk and sour cream are good.
Alcohol or vodka is used to prepare alcoholic infusions. They are stored much longer than decoctions and are more often used in cases where the hair is excessively greasy. They are rubbed into the scalp twice a week. If the oiliness of the hair is normal, it is better to dilute the infusion with water or replace it with a decoction.
