Does intake of fruits or fruit juices regularly reduce dandruff?

Dull, weak, and damaged hair is a problem that affects people of all ages. Hair damage is mainly caused by harmful substances, stress, and environmental causes. We all want voluminous, lustrous hair that is smooth and delicate to the touch. 

However, in our quest for ideal hair, we wind up subjecting it to styling tools, hair colors, and other procedures that cause hair loss and breaking. While you can minimize your use of styling equipment and the frequency of coloring sessions, the damage can also be undone with a balanced diet.

The healthiness of your skin and hair is mostly determined by what you eat and apply to them. Many individuals are unaware that there are various vegetables and fruits and their juices that can help with hair development. Including these nutrients in your diet and applying them topically can make a significant difference in the health of your hair. Fruits are high in fiber and vitamins, both of which are necessary for healthy hair. Here’s a list of 7 fruits and how to use them to promote hair development.

  1. Bananas
