How to Use Elfa Pharm’s Burdock Hair Care Line to Reduce Hair Loss

How to Use Elfa Pharm’s Burdock Hair Care Line to Reduce Hair Loss Burdock oil is a popular hair loss remedy. Some cosmetic manufacturers even produce special anti-hair loss collections with this oil. One of such collections is produced by Elfa Pharm, a Ukrainian-Polish company that uses pharmaceutical methods to create high-quality and effective cosmetics. Today we’ll tell you how to properly use the company’s burdock hair care line in order to reduce hair loss.

The key active ingredient in the products that comprise Elfa Pharm’s burdock collection is Bh intensiv+. This is an active complex that consists of burdock root oil extract (commonly known as burdock oil), saw palmetto extract and thyme essential oil. This complex affects five possible causes of hair loss, helping to cope with the problem quickly and efficiently.

One of the most common causes of hair loss is malnutrition of hair follicles. Burdock oil is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and other nutrients that hair follicles need for normal functioning. It nourishes hair follicles and therefore stimulates the growth of strong and healthy hair.

Saw palmetto extract is obtained from the fruit of the saw palmetto. It is popular in traditional herbal medicine of American Indians. This extract helps to reduce hair loss caused by an excess of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for the so-called male-pattern hair loss (MPHL).

Excess DHT has a destructive effect on hair follicles, causing their gradual miniaturisation and disrupting their natural functioning, which results in hair loss. Saw palmetto extract, also known as serenoa extract, reduces the activity of 5α-reductase, an enzyme involved in DHT metabolism, and thus helps to prevent male-pattern hair loss.

The third ingredient of Bh intensive+ is thyme essential oil. It stimulates hair growth, normalises sebum secretion in the scalp, strengthens hair follicles, repairs hair shafts from the inside, and produces a moisturising and antiseptic effect.

Elfa Pharm’s burdock hair care line includes four products for all hair types: burdock shampoo, conditioning burdock hair mask, burdock hair serum and burdock oil. In order to maximise the effect of these products, you should use them taking into account some basic rules and nuances.

The first step in reducing hair loss is washing your hair with the brand’s burdock shampoo as often as needed. This shampoo has a very delicate cleansing effect because it doesn’t contain any aggressive detergents, such as SLS or SLES. In addition to gentle surfactants, it contains natural ingredients that complement and enhance the effect of Bh intensiv+. These include hydrolysed soy protein, avocado oil, rosemary oil and plant extracts (nettle, alfalfa, centella, lupine, butcher’s-broom, Chinese knotweed, Szechuan lovage and horsetail).

Having washed your hair, apply conditioning burdock hair mask, let it sit for 2 minutes, then rinse off. This product fills damaged hair with energy and vitality, penetrates the hair shafts and repairs from the inside, and creates an invisible layer on the hair surface, protecting it from further damage. Besides, this mask stimulates microcirculation in the scalp and thus helps to provide hair follicles with nutrients, as well as activates and prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair growth cycle.

If your hair needs intensive anti-hair loss treatment, follow the shampoo and the conditioning mask with burdock hair serum. This is a lightweight, leave-in product applied to the scalp. Its key active ingredients are Bh intensiv+, hydrolysed keratin, hydrolysed soy protein, and a blend of plant oils and extracts. The serum is free of alcohol and silicones.

Elfa Pharm’s burdock hair serum comes in a spray bottle, which makes it easy to apply. All you need to do is spray some serum on your scalp and massage it in. After applying the serum, you can blow-dry or style your hair as usual. To achieve a visible result, use the product 3 or 4 times a week for at least two months. It will reduce hair loss, make your hair thicker and tamer, restore its structure and healthy shine from root to tip, and prevent itchy and flaky scalp.

If your hair needs intensive strengthening and repairing, you need to add burdock oil to your hair repair routine. This product comes in a drop bottle for easy application; one bottle is enough for a complete hair loss treatment course. In addition to reducing hair loss, burdock oil helps to solve other hair problems, such as weak and brittle hair, dandruff, itchy and flaky scalp, split ends, and loss of shine and elasticity.

Elfa Pharm’s burdock oil is infused with vitamin A and vetiver oil. These ingredients improve the condition of the scalp, repair the weakened and damaged hair structure, and enhance the anti-hair loss effect of Bh intensiv+.

You should use burdock oil every day for three weeks to reduce hair loss or 1-2 times a week for two months as a preventive measure. Apply several drops of oil to your scalp, massage it into hair roots, put on a shower cap and wrap your hair with a towel. After 2 or 3 hours, shampoo and dry your hair as usual.

Elfa Pharm’s burdock hair care line provides a comprehensive solution to the problem of hair loss. In addition to being effective, these products are also easy-to-use and affordable even if you’re on a tight budget.
