Sulfur plays an important role in ensuring the normal functioning of our body's systems, as it is part of every living cell. It supports the normal work of muscles and joints, restores the nervous system, improves blood circulation, which strengthens immunity, improves physical endurance, assimilates vitamins and nutrients and, at the same time, quickly cleanses the body of toxins.
Being a natural antioxidant, sulfur also has a beneficial effect on the hair condition - it protects from the harmful effects of unfavorable environmental factors, perfectly strengthens them and gives smoothness, gloss and silkiness. Increased fat content, dullness, fragility and loss of curls, on the contrary, indicate a lack of sulfur in the body. Therefore this valuable mineral is especially necessary for owners of fatty and damaged hair , prone to loss.
In order to improve the condition of the hair and to fill the deficiency of sulfur in the body, the following recommendations should be adhered to:
1. Enrich the daily diet with products containing sulfur, which include eggs, lean meat, fish, milk, vegetables, buckwheat, wheat, vegetables (white cabbage and cauliflower, onion, pepper, garlic), fruits (apples, grapes).
2. The use of home hair masks on the basis of some of the above products, for example, masks of milk and masks from eggs .
3. Reception of biological active additives (BAA) with sulfur content, for example, brewer's yeast with sulfur, vitamins B and E, which strengthen the curls from the inside and promote their accelerated growth. However, these drugs have contraindications (heart and vessel diseases, hormonal disorders, constipation), and therefore before their use requires consultation with a specialist.
4. External rubbing of sulfur in the form of special suspensions in the scalp. A side effect may be a yellow sulphurous coating on the skin, which is easily eliminated with a tampon soaked in salicylic alcohol.
