Unexpected uses of sunflower seeds for hair

THÙY DƯƠNG (THEO HEALTHSHOTS) |

Not only is it a popular snack, sunflower seeds also have many wonderful benefits for hair.

Promotes hair growth

According to a study published in the Journal of Dermatological Science, sunflower seeds have many benefits for hair, helping it grow long, smooth and healthy. Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, is essential for increasing blood flow to the scalp. Regular consumption of sunflower seeds can help hair grow thicker, longer and stronger.

Prevent hair loss

According to a study published in the Annals of Dermatology, sunflower seeds are rich in zinc, a mineral that is essential for healthy hair growth and preventing hair loss. Zinc plays an important role in the growth and repair of hair tissue, ensuring that hair follicles function optimally.

Makes hair shiny

According to a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, sunflower seeds are great for nourishing the hair shaft thanks to their high omega-6 fatty acid content. By penetrating the hair shaft, these healthy fats help to increase moisture retention and prevent dryness, which is one of the main factors that make hair look dull. By nourishing from the inside, sunflower seeds help to make hair softer, smoother, and reflect light beautifully.

Improve scalp health

Sunflower seeds are rich in antioxidants that help protect the scalp from damage and fight free radicals. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory properties in these seeds can soothe an irritated scalp, helping to combat dandruff, redness, and itching.
