Guava has a high ratio of vitamins B3, B5 and B6, which repair damaged hair tissues, cleanse the scalp and stop hair fall.

To top it off, guava leaves contain 9% potassium, 2% zinc and over 2% proteins, which soothe the scalp of irritation, remove flaky dandruff and improve the elasticity of hair, making it smooth.
