Before complex, chemical-loaded products arrived in the market, people turned to nature to solve their beauty problems. Applying chemicals on your hair might make it look good for a short span, but it does irreversible damage, said Atal Arya, founder, Nutrispa. “Fortunately, nature has all the answers for not only solving a wide array of hair issues but also restoring its quality. Take advantage of these five super-ingredients and make your hair festival-ready,” mentioned Arya.
Green tea
There is a reason green tea is one of the best-known ‘super ingredients’. It is loaded with antioxidants like polyphenols, vitamin E, C and even powerful EGCG. The combined powers of these nutrients boost blood circulation in the hair follicles and promote a healthier scalp. The caffeine stimulates hair growth, while anti-inflammatory qualities reduce hair loss.
