Experts give their recommendations on the use of menthol oil.

1. If we confine ourselves to the use of hair care only with oil, then there will be no positive effect: allergic reactions and greasy hair will occur. To avoid negative consequences, it is important to take care of yourself in a complex way, namely: to apply oils and herbs balanced.
2. Itching and burning can occur during the use of menthol ether. In this case, it is necessary to reduce the concentration, for example, in the recipe 6 drops are indicated, we add 2-3.
3. You should not replace all with natural components (meaning shampoos, gels, foams, and so on). It is dangerous the appearance of acne, irritation. The best use of masks with ether is 1 time in 2 weeks.
4. Before you start using masks on your hair, test them for an allergic reaction. Make it very easy. Example: spread menthol oil, diluted with water, on a small area of ​​the arm, if after 10-15 minutes no redness or other reactions appear, then you can safely apply the product.
5. It is necessary to take into account the fact that the ether in large quantities increases blood pressure.
