MSM, a natural benefactor for our hair

There are several ways to use MSM to benefit from its properties on hair.

The most common method is to take MSM supplements , usually in powder or capsule form.

At Novoma, we preferred to opt for a powder form of MSM , containing 34% bioavailable sulfur . The good thing about the powder is that you can also use it for a homemade beauty recipe by applying it directly to the hair. 😉

Indeed, it is also possible to apply MSM to the scalp in the form of a hair mask. It is important to choose products containing pure MSM to achieve optimal results. In this context, you can make this mask 2-3 times a week over a period of 8 to 12 weeks.

It is also possible to combine these two methods, that is to say, to combine taking an MSM food supplement with a DIY MSM mask!

This combination can maximize the benefits of MSM for hair by treating problems both from the inside and out.

Good to know: MSM supplementation is generally considered safe, but it can cause side effects such as stomach upset and heartburn in some people. Of course, remember to consult a doctor before starting a cure or any treatment, if you have pre-existing health problems or if you are taking medication.

Finally, while MSM is effective in improving hair health, it does not cure hair diseases like baldness. So consider consulting a doctor if you suffer from hair loss, for more in-depth examinations and advice.

If in addition to supplementation, you would like to test the MSM mask, here is the recipe that we offer:

Ingredients :

• 1 tablespoon of MSM powder;
• 1 tablespoon of coconut oil;
• 1 tablespoon of honey;
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

Our instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix the MSM powder, coconut oil, honey and lemon juice until all ingredients are well mixed.
2. Apply the mask to clean, damp hair, making sure to distribute the mixture evenly over the entire length of the hair.
3. Wrap hair in a warm towel or shower cap to promote absorption of ingredients.
4. Leave the mask on for 30 minutes.
5. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and wash your hair with your usual shampoo.
6. Use this mask once or twice a week for optimal results.

To have good hair hygiene, here are some tips to follow:

• Wash your hair neither too regularly nor too frequently, with a shampoo suited to your hair type. It is important to choose a shampoo that cleanses deeply without stripping the scalp.
• Use conditioner or conditioner to moisturize your hair and leave it soft and manageable.
• Make a regular trip to the hairdresser to trim split ends to prevent damage and maintain hair health.
• Always use thermal protection products before drying or straightening your hair.
