To our services there are professionals who are ready to perform any haircut, styling, help with leaving. Previously, people could only take care of their own hair. Let's remember everything about hair care, home recipes, used in ancient times and surviving to the present day.

For example, now many parents keep the first lock of the baby, cut the child in a year, "so that the hair grows better", although it has long been known that the growth of hair does not depend on the fact that the child is naked.
Since ancient times, hair care recipes have been handed down from generation to generation. Unfortunately, little has been achieved to this day, because we ourselves have some problems. And our ancestors knew how to use wisely what Mother Nature gave them. Only natural remedies were used by people for dyeing hair, washing and styling them. And the recipes were often kept secret and kept only in the family.
And so, let's take a closer look at how hair care was done with the help of home recipes. One of the most popular recipes for washing the head was white clay, which is still used in cosmetology. Clay was bred in a small amount of water until the formation of gruel and washed the head in the same way as shampoo. And in the antiquity the head was washed with a decoction of various herbs with the addition of a decoction of soap. Each herb has its own action, for example, burdock or nettle can strengthen the hair. The broth should be rubbed into the skin of the hair after the head was washed. This means really try and these days, only to collect grass is better where there are no cars and roads, or you can buy already in the pharmacy ready-made grass.
