Burdock root oil extract, commonly called burdock oil, is widely used as a scalp treatment because of its supposed ability to reduce hair loss and promote the growth of healthy hair. It is most often used as an ingredient in DIY hair masks. Here are 4 hair pack recipes with burdock oil that will make your hair grow faster and thicker.
1. Burdock Oil & Honey Hair Pack
This hair pack consists of just two ingredients, burdock oil and honey. Burdock oil nourishes hair follicles, helping to reduce hair loss and stimulate hair growth, while honey strengthens hair roots, helps to repair damaged hair structure, and restores the hair’s healthy glow. This mask is very easy to make; all you need to do is mix some warm burdock oil with an equal amount of melted honey. Rub the mixture into your scalp and let it sit for half an hour, then shampoo thoroughly.

2. Burdock Oil, Red Pepper & Egg Yolk Hair Pack
Red pepper is one of the most popular natural remedies for stimulating hair growth because it contains capsaicin, a compound that boosts blood circulation in the scalp and therefore helps to provide hair follicles with nutrients. We recommend that you buy burdock oil that is already infused with red pepper extract, since it is less likely to irritate your scalp. Mix the oil with an egg yolk (it will nourish your hair and lock in moisture), apply the mixture to your hair and leave it for half an hour, then wash your hair. If you feel any discomfort (severe itching, burning, etc.), rinse the mask immediately.

3. Burdock Oil, Mustard & Egg Yolk Hair Pack
Like red pepper, mustard helps to improve circulation thanks to containing mustard oil. It is considered less of an irritant than capsaicin, so this hair pack is a better option than the previous one if your scalp tends to get sensitive. To make it, mix some burdock oil with 1 tsp mustard powder and an egg yolk, apply to your hair and leave for 30 to 60 minutes, then shampoo your hair. Rinse the mask immediately if there’s any irritation.

4. Burdock Oil & Rosemary Hair Pack
Rosemary essential oil complements and enhances the stimulating properties of burdock root oil. In addition, this oil has antiseptic and soothing properties, so it helps to combat dandruff and relieves itchy and flaky scalp. To make a rosemary hair pack, add 5 drops of rosemary oil to 2 tbsp burdock oil, rub the mixture into your scalp and let it sit for 30 or 40 minutes, then wash your hair as usual.
