Maintaining long and shiny tresses in todays’ scenario is an arduous task. We are faced with a myriad of hair problems ranging from dandruff, split ends and premature greying to loss of hair thanks to an unhealthy lifestyle and exposure to pollution. Consumption of grapes is good for hair due to the following reasons:
- Encourages hair growth:
Grapes are natural antioxidants which increase blood circulation in the scalp. This encourages hair growth. The age old saying that ‘oiling the hair makes it long and lusturous’ is undoubtedly true. Grape seed oil, extracted from the seeds of grapes is an odorless, green oil having a light and non-greasy texture. This gets absorbed into the scalp easily, making hair soft, shiny and manageable.
- Treatment of dandruff:
Regular application of grapeseed oil can help combat seborrheic dermatitis, an itchy scalp condition in adults, and cradle cap in infants. Being a good moisturizer, this oil helps in removing dry flakes from the scalp and improves blood circulation.
- Treatment of hair-loss:
Grapes are also beneficial in combating hair-loss. The vitamin E and linoleic acid present in grapeseed oil strengthen the follicles, making hair strong and healthy. This oil is also beneficial in treating split ends, brittleness and breakage of hair due to rough handling.
- Aromatherapy:
Due to its non-greasy texture, grapeseed oil does not leave a residue on the scalp. It is light, has good emollient properties and is suited for all skin types making it an oil which is apt to be used in aromatherapy.
