Are Sweet Potatoes Good For Natural Hair?
Have you ever tried sweet potatoes for your natural hair? Sweet potatoes have a rich source of iron, copper, and beta-carotene which are all amazing for your hair. Beta-carotene aids cell growth, it also prevents hair thinning, and can even help to reduce the dullness of your hair.
In today's blog post we are sharing some of the amazing benefits of sweet potatoes.
Sweet Potatoes Are Iron-Rich
Iron is vital in making red blood cells for your body. These cells carry oxygen throughout your body. When you are deficient or lack iron it can cause:
- hair loss
- tiredness and lack of energy
- shortness of breath
Sweet Potatoes Have Copper In Them
Copper is a great force against hair loss.
Sweet Potatoes Are High In Beta-Carotene
Beta-carotene is found in plants and fruits like your favorite carrots and oranges. This is converted into vitamin A inside your body. Vitamin A is vital and necessary to help with cell renewal and growth. A deficiency in Vitamin A can lead to an unhealthy scalp which can cause dandruff and dry hair which can lead to breakage.
Sweet Potatoes Contain Vitamin C
Vitamin C is great for collagen production and helps to improve your immune system. A poor immune system can lead to hair loss.
