Sea buckthorn oil, castor oil, and St. John's wort oil will help prevent hair loss.

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 alcohol 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.
