How Does Banana And Honey Grow Hair?

This banana, honey, coconut oil, hair mask nourishes the scalp with vitamins and minerals like potassium, biotin, and silica. When used regularly, it strengthens the hair follicles and enhances collagen production, hence, making your hair stronger.

Coconut oil penetrates the hair shafts, increases circulation and prevents protein loss, while honey acts as a natural humectant and locks moisture into your hair keeping it hydrated.

All of the above are extremely important for healthy hair growth because your hair loses water, collagen, and protein due to environmental factors and poor diet.

Not drinking enough water, using harsh chemicals in your hair, styling tools, excess sun exposure, pollution, and nutritional deficiencies can all contribute to an unhealthy hair.

Using this simply hair mask, changing your eating habits, and staying hydrated can help you improve your hair health.
