Often I sit on fairly rigid diets. Losing weight, but it becomes scary to look at hair, skin and nails. In my case, pharmacy drugs can not do. Therefore, I consider home treatments only as a pleasant addition. So far I have tried only a mask with oil, lemon and iodine. It is early to judge the effectiveness.
