What is royal jelly? The composition of the natural product and the effect on the hair. Recipes for products with a "bee component" and application features. The natural structure, due to a certain amount of wax in the composition of royal jelly, creates a film on the hair surface that protects against negative external influences.
When treating curls, royal jelly is used not only externally, but also orally. It improves metabolic processes in the body, stimulates the elimination of toxins and free radicals, which has a positive effect on the quality of the hair.
Contraindications to the use of royal jelly for hair
Beekeeping products are a strong allergen. If you are allergic to honey, you will have to abandon the use of "royal jelly" for cosmetic purposes.
An absolute contraindication for local and internal use of a natural substance is oncological processes, regardless of the stage - it is impossible to predict how the use of a biostimulator will affect the general condition.
Relative contraindications to the use of royal jelly:
- Too delicate scalp - if the milk is fresh, itching and irritation may appear, as it is burning.
- Increased secretion of sebum - curls can become heavier, quickly become dirty. In some cases, changing the ingredients in the hair care product will be sufficient.
- Digestive disorders when taken orally, a tendency to diarrhea. If we restrict ourselves to only the external use of a natural substance, then nausea and diarrhea will disappear.
As already mentioned, each swarm produces a specific composition of royal jelly. And the body's reactions to different foods may differ.

- Royal jelly shampoo … If the scalp is not damaged, then 3 components are used as shampoo ingredients - honey, royal jelly and chamomile. 2 tablespoons of chamomile brew 100 g of boiling water, insist, add a dessert spoon of honey and a teaspoon of royal jelly. Stir, apply to the scalp and hair along the length, leave for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water. If the scalp peels off, then the chamomile is replaced in succession and the infusion is mixed only with royal jelly, otherwise irritation may increase.
- Royal jelly mask for hair loss … It needs to be kept for at least 12 hours, so it's best to do it before the weekend. Ingredients for the mask: egg yolks - 2-3 chicken or 18-20 quail, royal jelly - 2 g, fresh baker's yeast - half a teaspoon. Prepare dried chamomile or nettle in advance - 6 tablespoons. The yeast is dissolved in a small amount of water, combined with crushed egg yolks and royal jelly, allowed to rise and ferment - about 6 hours in the heat.

Plant raw materials are brewed in a liter of water. The course of treatment is 10 procedures every other day.
- Hair growth stimulant … This remedy is used for dry, lifeless hair or after repeated dyeing using products with ammonia. Two egg yolks are ground with 2 grams of royal jelly and a teaspoon of castor oil is added. It is recommended for blondes to replace castor oil with burdock so as not to spoil the natural color. Apply the mask to the scalp and distribute it over the strands, warm the head for 40 minutes. Wash off with detergent, rinse with acidified water - for 1 liter of water, half a tablespoon of vinegar or 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Treatment continues for 3 months, 2-3 procedures per week.
- Dandruff ointment … If the hair is dry, then the product is applied only to the hair roots. With normal and oily can be distributed over the entire length. To create a homogeneous structure, you must first make a water bath. A tablespoon of honey is heated, without boiling, in a glass container, the same amount of lemon juice by volume and 2 g of natural bio-raw materials are added. In advance, grind 18 yolks of quail eggs (you can replace 2 chicken eggs) and add to the general composition. If the ointment is overheated, the yolks will curdle, and the honey and milk will lose their beneficial effect. The mixture is cooled to body temperature and rubbed into the roots. Wash off after 15 minutes with a mild shampoo. Frequency rate of application - 2-3 times a week, the course of treatment - up to 2 months.
- Royal jelly hair balm … This remedy will help to get rid of the section of dry hair, restore its elasticity and tone. A week after the start of application, keratin scales become denser, hair becomes shiny and healthy. Half a standard package of butter is softened, mixed with egg yolk and 2 g of "royal jelly" are added to the mixture. The balm is applied along the entire length, the head is insulated for half an hour, washed off with shampoo. If there is little product left, you can put it in the refrigerator until next time. The revitalizing course is designed for 2 months, the frequency of application is 3-4 days.
- Hair gel … Dermatological diseases often spread to the scalp. This brings significant discomfort and negatively affects the quality of the hair. To prevent fragility of keratin rods and return a healthy look to the curls, a gel-like structure should be applied to them every 4-6 days. Gel recipe: propolis is diluted in water - proportions 1 to 5, 2 tablespoons of honey are added, 3 g of royal jelly is injected there. The gel is applied to the hair roots, spreading along the length, without creating a dense film. Insulate, wash off after 20 minutes.
In cosmetics, you can enter fresh royal jelly, frozen or crush granules. If the preparation of a substance requires 2 g of the product, you need 6 g of dry powder - the granules consist of royal jelly by half, but the beneficial effect of the dry product on organic tissues is reduced by 3 times.
Features of using royal jelly for hair
Royal jelly retains its beneficial properties only when properly stored. It is best to put it in a dark glass container lined with wax on the inside. Fresh milk is quickly placed in the jar - after being removed from the ulius for 1 hour - and the lid is screwed on. The container should be stored in a refrigerator at a temperature of 10-6 ° C.
Cosmetics should be mixed in porcelain dishes, metal spoons and forks should be replaced with wooden ones or glass or plastic stacks should be used. Upon contact with metal, beekeeping products lose their beneficial properties.
If the hair product was not used at one time, then it can be stored for 2-3 days in the refrigerator on the shelf, in a container with a closed lid. Better to use a plastic food container.
To increase the shelf life of a valuable beekeeping product, it can be mixed with honey or propolis. These natural preservatives retain their beneficial properties for up to a year. By the way, many hair products include just such mixtures.
Unfortunately, there are no recommendations on how to distinguish a natural product from a fake one, therefore, before purchasing it on the market, you should get acquainted with the seller in advance. But you can find out whether fresh milk or secondary milk is by color. Fresh - light, creamy, pearlescent. The later the product is removed from the hive, the darker it is.
