Why Is Honey Good For Hair?
Bee's honey is one of the most valued and appreciated natural substances known to enhance the health of the skin and hair. It is highly popular in cosmetic treatment and is used in preparing hair conditioners and softeners.
Honey is a mixture of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes. These nutrients improve the health of the scalp and the hair. Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-bacterial, healing, cleansing and moisturizing properties are beneficial for all types of hair.
The antioxidants present in honey lower damage to the hair and scalp and prevent dry, rough and dull hair. Applying honey on the hair and scalp can also prevent infections on the scalp like eczema and psoriasis Such an anti-bacterial property of honey is due to the enzymatic production of hydrogen peroxide, an anti-bacterial agent.
