It shouldn’t be a surprise that using things from the earth are better for you.
Certainly, modern technology and medicine have their place in our lives and have been vital to our healthcare and maintenance. But if you’re looking for a way to get back to nature, check your local grocery store. Experts say that tomatoes are very effective in treating hair loss. There are a few methods in which you can use a tomato in order to promote healthy hair.
Tomatoes are full of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins that can nourish the scalp and stimulate your hair follicles, thus encouraging healthy hair growth and helps to fill in bald patches.
Tomatoes pack a big punch when it comes to nutrients. Vitamin C helps to boost collagen naturally which is necessary for healthy hair. Lycopene is an antioxidant and biotin and zinc both improve the hair strength. And Vitamin A helps to stimulate sebum which is the natural oils in your scalp.
But where to start? Here are a few methods to derive the best results from the red fruit.
The easiest way to utilize tomatoes is by juicing one or two and straining them of their skins, leaving the juice. Simply massage the juice into your scalp and leave it on for 30 minutes before washing with a gentle shampoo. You can repeat this process once or twice a week.
You can use the same abovementioned method and step it up by adding a tablespoon of aloe vera gel, which will help soothe an irritated scalp. Wash away after 45 minutes. Coconut oil is comparable to aloe vera gel. It can help to relieve itching and dandruff.
Surprisingly, onion juice mixed with tomato juice can help with your hair health. The two combined are high in sulphur, which promotes hair growth. Another proven ingredient that encourages healthy hair is rosemary oil. Derived from a plant, the oil can help with anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory concerns.
It can also reduce scalp stressors like dandruff and dry skin. If you have a healthy scalp, you’re one step closer to healthy hair. Additionally, your diet also greatly affects your hair. Eating a diet rich in healthy fats, proteins and vegetables is an important first step.
In your hair health journey, remember that hair growth takes time. Expect to see results after 3-6 months. Remember, consistency is key. You may not see results if you are not committed to your chosen method. Additionally, tomato juice in any combination can be drying due to the acidity level, so take care as not to overdo the process.
