Burdock oil for dandruff - an effective tool or wasted time? Advantages and disadvantages
If seborrhea has become chronic, its symptoms began to appear regularly, and the usual shampoo does not work, do not despair. You can solve the problem - it is only important to choose the right tool.
We will not go into the causes of this unpleasant problem, but go straight to the ways to eliminate it.
Burdock Dandruff Oil: Pros and Cons
This oil is a frequent component of hair masks from the category of popular recipes. It nourishes the hair, improves their growth, makes it smoother and more docile. It has many vitamins, the lack of which is one of the causes of loss, loss of shine and elasticity of hair.
The undoubted advantages of its use for the treatment of seborrhea:
- Natural composition. Oil is a natural product, without fragrances, chemicals and silicones.
- Restorative effect. No wonder our grandmothers used burdock oil for the scalp and hair.
- It is cheap. Especially in comparison with professional means.
- Softens dry scalp, moisturizes and nourishes it. But one of the causes of seborrhea - insufficient nutrition of the skin.
And now a little tar in a barrel of honey. The disadvantages of burdock oil:
- It is not easy to wash it off, especially with thick hair.
- Not a universal remedy. Not effective in the treatment of certain types of seborrhea, not suitable for scalp prone to fat.
- Improvements are not immediately noticeable. You need to properly “nourish” the scalp with useful ingredients to get the expected effect. As a rule, dandruff is reduced after 5-7 sessions of rubbing oil.
Does burdock oil dandruff?
This is the main question that interests lovers of folk remedies who have problems with the skin of the head. Considering that we are all unique, it would be more correct to state it differently: “Does burdock oil always help with dandruff, and to whom is it contraindicated?”
First of all, dandruff is a fungus that multiplies on the skin under the influence of a number of reasons. This may be a lack of vitamins, the use of aggressive shampoos, poor hygiene, imbalance in the body, hormonal disorders and improper diet.
What substances contained in burdock oil help with dandruff:
- Tannins (tannins). They are also found in tea and tree bark. They kill the fungus, have bactericidal properties, relieve inflammation and itching.
- Omega 3. These acids nourish hair and skin, make them more resistant to external factors, increase the immune properties of tissues, trigger the fight against fungus.
- Vitamins and trace elements. If the cause of seborrhea in their deficiency, burdock oil really helps.
Vitamins, fatty acids, tannins - for which the hair will surely thank you, though not immediately. However, with some types of seborrhea, burdock oil cannot help.
In total, two types of dandruff are distinguished - oily and dry. The first is formed by increased work of the sebaceous glands, looks like scales at the very roots. Dry dandruff appears when the skin is not sufficiently hydrated. It is more noticeable on the hair and clothing: light scales, spread over the entire length of the hair. The effect of oil masks - nutrition and hydration. If we are dealing with seborrhea fat type, the use of oil can exacerbate the problem. But with dry dandruff method is very good.
- The use of burdock oil for dandruff makes sense only after identifying the cause of seborrhea.
- Oil, like external agents, does not solve the problem of hormonal disorders, metabolic failures and other causes that can lead to seborrhea.
- Burdock oil is advisable to use in the fight against dry dandruff.
- To achieve the effect, regular use of oil is necessary (7-10 sessions).
How to use burdock oil for dandruff hair
There are many recipes, but the basic rules are similar. Before applying the oil should be heated in a water bath. So it is better absorbed into the skin and hair, it will be easier to wash off. Apply to dry hair roots, rubbing the roots, before washing. To use the entire area, pre-divide the hair into partings. Keep the oil for 0.5-1.5 hours.
Now we will get acquainted with the best recipes of medical masks.
Honey burdock mask
Not bad reviews on burdock dandruff oil with honey. An additional ingredient is a spirit infusion of calendula, which is sold in a pharmacy. Proportions: 2 tbsp. oils, 1 tbsp of tincture, 1 tbsp. liquid honey. Honey and butter are heated in a water bath and mixed. Add calendula, rub into hair. An additional thermal effect is created, honey nourishes the hair, due to which the scalp becomes healthy, dandruff decreases.
Burdock oil with dandruff pepper
Red pepper is more commonly used to activate hair growth. Effective in falling out. In the composition of masks against seborrhea, this ingredient activates the work of the sebaceous glands, thereby increasing the nutrition of very dry scalp. In pharmacies and stores already sold a mixture of oil and pepper. After heating in a water bath, rub it in the usual way.
Important! In some cases, red pepper can aggravate the condition of the scalp, increase peeling. Therefore, the use of the tool on an ongoing basis is possible only if the first experiment was successful.
Professional tools - quick help with seborrhea
Burdock hair oil from dandruff and other folk remedies have the right to exist and use. However, one should not forget that intense and chronic seborrhea is the result of disturbances in the body, which should be identified and eliminated.
A comprehensive solution to the problem should include the normalization of nutrition, the use of folk remedies and professional cosmetics. The latter gives a quick result - after the first application, the appearance of seborrhea will be eliminated.
To combat dandruff, ALERANA has antifungal effect shampoo. Its components not only block the reproduction of the fungus that causes dandruff, but also eliminate the peeling, nourish the roots. Together with the vitamin-mineral complex ALERANA, which solves the problem from the inside, the shampoo provides a lasting result in the fight against dandruff with regular use.

Composition and main therapeutic effects
Burdock is used in medicine for a long time
Plant extract, which is included in the oil, is obtained from burdock (aka “burdock”, nar.).
You can buy this tool in every pharmacy.
The chemical composition of burdock oil is quite diverse:
- Contains a vitamin complex, including Vit. A, E, C, P, B,
- Tannins, polyunsaturated acids that strengthen the hair structure,
- Protein compounds and amino acids that nourish and strengthen hair roots.
When applied topically, it normalizes the exchange of the scalp, which actually reduces the amount of dandruff in a natural way. In addition to reducing the amount of dandruff, increases the growth rate and volume of hair.
Burdock oil is proven to give hair shine and prevents their thinning. Is a natural prevention of many types of alopecia (loss) associated with deficiency of metabolites of vitamins of group B.
When applied topically, burdock oil improves the blood circulation of the hair roots.
Due to the relatively high concentration of tocopherol (vitamin E), burdock oil prevents the lack of oxygen in the scalp even with microcirculation disorders.
Simply put, even if the patient has objective reasons for the presence of dandruff (mycoses, diabetes, seborrheic dermatitis), burdock oil significantly reduces the amount of dandruff.
Burdock oil helps to dandruff, both when applied topically and as a food product.
The main therapeutic effect has special substances, phytosterols that regulate the work of the sebaceous glands, and effectively eliminate dandruff caused by excessive secretion of sebum. Inulin, which is a part of burdock extracts, is an excellent sorbent and anti-inflammatory agent.
It is worth mentioning at once that burdock oil helps with dandruff, both locally and in the form of a food product. You must carefully study the label of the product, because Not all burdock oil can be used as food.
Getting burdock oil at home
Fresh burdock oil is somewhat more efficient than purchased, so you should learn how to cook it yourself. This requires fresh burdock root (200g) and 300 ml of olive or sunflower (refined) oil. Burdock roots are washed, dried and crushed, then poured oil.
Insist means in a warm place for 3 days, after which it is necessary, while stirring, boil it for a quarter of an hour, and then strain it. Burdock oil is stored in a bottle of dark glass.
Methods of using tools to combat dandruff
Apply pre-warmed burdock oil to the hair roots, then spread out with a comb over the entire length
The easiest way is to apply warmed burdock oil to the hair roots with a syringe without a needle, then distribute the comb along the entire length. Hair must be wrapped with a film or (which is easier), use a bath hat for this purpose. The duration of the procedure is 1 hour, after which the hair is washed with regular shampoo.
Course of treatment: 2 treatments per week for 1 month, then a break of 1.5 months and a second course.
If we talk about taking burdock oil inside - it is enough to use it in the form of salad dressing as an element of vitamin therapy, as well as a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is especially effective to do this in the autumn-winter period.
Photo gallery of components for masks with burdock oil
For the treatment of dry seborrhea (scalp dry) apply a garlic mask. The main purpose is to stimulate and improve blood circulation in the scalp. For cooking use one garlic head and 50g of burdock oil. After the garlic is peeled and minced into mush, it is stirred with warm burdock oil. The tool is rubbed only in the scalp, it is not necessary to distribute it through the hair.
The mask is applied for 2 hours, then carefully washed off with any shampoo. It is advisable to add a little aroma oil (2-3 drops) either in the tool itself or in the rinse - this will help get rid of the smell of garlic.
Before applying the garlic mask, conduct a skin test on garlic: apply a little prepared mask on the inner surface of the wrist, and wait 5 minutes. If the skin responds normally to the substance - the mask will be adequately perceived and will not lead to inflammatory (allergic) processes.
In most cases, dandruff substantially regresses after 3-4 procedures. By the end of the course, it almost disappears.
Egg-lemon mask prepared from half a lemon, 2 yolks and a tablespoon of burdock oil, is applied in the same way as a standard mask made from pure burdock oil. In addition to the fight against dandruff, it has a strengthening effect on the hair shaft, and also slightly brightens the hair - with constant use, a rather beautiful “platinum” color appears.
With the constant use of the mask appears beautiful "platinum" color
An apple-lemon mask is prepared as follows:
- Egg yolks are whipped,
- Mix lemon juice with beaten yolks,
- Add to the mixture burdock oil.
The duration of the necessary therapeutic effects - 30 minutes, after which the mask should be washed off.
Egg-honey mask is shown when dandruff is combined with reduced local immunity. It is appropriate after the treatment of the fungus of the scalp, for example. Strengthens the protective properties, contributes to the development of lysozyme and other skin protection factors.
To make an egg-honey mask use 30g of honey, yolk and a tablespoon of burdock oil. The yolk and honey (we use floral, liquid) are mixed to a homogeneous mass, after which we add warmed burdock oil there and apply it on the skin and hair. After half an hour, all this is washed off.
It should be understood that burdock with all its advantages cannot eliminate the underlying disease that causes dandruff, but only alleviates the manifestation of this unpleasant symptom. With abundant dandruff, you should first consult a dermatologist. In this case, you not only get rid of dandruff more quickly, but you can also avoid the risk of serious consequences and complications.
