Kale For Hair: Did You Know That The Green Leaf Is Beneficial For Your Hair?

Kale, specifically its extract, can be beneficial for both hair and scalp and the body in general. Just as fresh kale is a nutritious addition to any diet, kale extract is beneficial to any hair care regimen.

Kale For Hair: Benefits And How To Use

Kale For Hair

In addition to vitamins A, C, and K, kale contains beta carotene, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids. Therefore, when kale extract is applied topically to the scalp, it facilitates scalp health, keeps the scalp hydrated, and eliminates toxins, which manifest as dry patches and irritation.

The vitamins in kale stimulate capillary growth in the scalp, which boosts blood flow to hair follicles and effectively facilitates hair growth. Due to these properties, topical kale extract may also protect against hair loss by reducing oxidative stress and the damage caused by free radicals in the environment.
