The growth of hair has never been easy. It is very much disappointing especially when time goes by but your hair remains short or it grows only for half an inch after several months of waiting! Fortunately, you have an option of how you can stimulate your hair growth. Lemons have long been used in hair care therapies as well as hair masks to improve the health of your hair. Below is what you should know about lemon juice and hair growth:
Lemons contain calcium, citric acid, magnesium, vitamin C, pectin, and flavonoids which plays very critical roles in hair growth. Below are reasons you should apply lemon juice to your hair:
Lemon juice has antifungal properties that help in maintaining the health of the scalp. This reduces the growth of dandruff as well as preventing itching on your head.
Lemon juice contains citric acid which helps in tightening of the hair follicles, thus preventing the hair from falling for the head.
Lemon juice also helps in cleansing of the scalp and unclogging of the hair follicles. If your hair follicles clog, your hair will most likely develop dandruff or will start falling. As I mentioned earlier, it will also prevent itching of the scalp.
Remember your scalp produces oil from the underlying adipose tissue. Application of lemon juice will help in reducing the production of oil from the scalp.
Lastly, lemon juice stimulates dormant hair follicles, thus, stimulate regrowth of hair.
