Grapefruit helps to get rid of the buildup that can mess up the protein layer on your hair strands. As it contains vitamins A and C, it helps to boost hair growth. Citrus products are also known to brighten the hair, bringing out natural highlights
1. Grapefruit will make your hair shiny
2. It will promote hair growth
Massaging hair with grapefruit shampoo is an easy method to promote healthy hair, and enable hair re-growth. It leaves the hair more shinier and lustrous.
3. It reduces dandruff
Grapefruit contains a compound that helps to lower the amount of yeast in your system. Grapefruit topically helps to reduce dandruff, and kills the fungus that causes dandruff. It also removes buildup caused by hair products, which can contribute to dandruff,” explains Dr Ajay Rana, well- renowned dermatologist and aesthetic physician.
4. It rinses the chemicals that can damage your hair
Grapefruit can help get rid of chemicals that have loaded the hair follicles, due to usage of hairsprays, gels, and hair creams that have been used on the hair.
5. Grapefruit prevents hair thinning
“Grapefruit contains rich amounts of vitamin B1 and flavonoids, a phytochemical that helps to improve blood circulation. Applying its peel’s extract on the scalp will help stimulate blood flow to the area. Our hair follicles feed on the nutrients and oxygen coming from the blood, so where there’s enough blood flow, there is more hair growth in that area. It makes hair thicker, and more voluminous,” explains Dr Rana.
