Pumpkin Seed Oil For Hair
We all know fall is on the horizon. The combination of indoor heating and the extreme change in weather conditions such as a decrease in humidity levels, increase in wind, and cool autumn temperatures can affect the health of your hair. This can make the hair more prone to damage, split ends, and dryness. It is also no secret that many people tend to notice more shedding in the fall as seasonal hair shedding is a real thing. Add Pumpkin Seed Oil to your routine and thank us later! Keep reading to learn more about why we recommend this ingredient for your tresses.
Pumpkin Seed Oil Benefits for Hair:
1. Moisturizes: PSO is packed with omega-3s which provide essential proteins and nutrients to hair follicles leading to soft hydrated hair.
2. Promotes Growth: PSO prevents hair follicle inflammation (a factor that can directly contribute to hair loss.) It also promotes circulation in the scalp which can help trigger hair growth.
3. Reduces Shedding: PSO has been proven to be an effective dihydrotestosterone (or DHT) blocker because it contains a steroid called delta-7 stearine that blocks dihydrotestosterone buildup in the hair follicle. DHT is a hormone that causes female/male-pattern hair loss (also called androgenetic alopecia).
4. Nourishes: PSO contains a high level of fatty acids that help to add shine as it deeply hydrates and nourishes the hair strand from root to tip.
5. Protects: Fatty Acids in PSO such as Linoleic acid acts as an emollient for repairing rough and damaged hair. It forms a protective barrier around the hair that helps to prevent moisture loss and helps to seal hydration and moisture.
