We know fruits are good for our health, but did you know that fruits
can have healthy hair benefits as well? Fruits are full of nutrients and
vitamins that are good for your hair.
Dark-colored fruits like plums and dark berries have nutrients called
bioflavonoids that also act as antioxidants. Citrus fruits like oranges
and grapefruit have Vitamin C and antioxidants. Many of these
fruits have antioxidants that help increase circulation to the scalp,
which encourages hair growth.
Fruits like apples, apricots, peaches, bananas and watermelon are not
only sweet, but are also hair-growth boosters. The secret ingredient in
these fruits is the nutrient biotin. Biotin has been heralded as the
natural growth steroids for hair and nails. Many people have used a
biotin-fortified diet to combat hair loss. Studies suggests that biotin
promotes hair growth and infuses strength and thickness into every
strand.
The powerhouse fruit for hair health is the avocado. Avocados are
rich in vitamin A and antioxidants. The fruit is a natural moisturizer
that helps hair growth. Avocados are great food for damaged hair. On top
of this, the avocado is a natural sunscreen. Add this fruit to a deep
conditioner to make hair stronger, shiny and healthy. Avocado’s
moisturizing essential fats make it an ideal fruit to use for hair
repair. It leaves hair softer, more elastic and less prone to breakage.
