That the carrot is good for the eyes we already know. But have you thought about who it can do for your hair? Yes, the carrot plays an important role in health, beauty and hair growth.
Because it contains beta-carotene, a very powerful antioxidant, in addition to vitamins, the carrot not only does good for the health of the vision, but also for the skin and guess what? The carrot also helps, and a lot, in hair growth.
Vitamins C and E help the blood flow to the scalp, which in turn acts as a transport of nutrients and minerals into the scalp. Vitamin A helps to strengthen the scalp while vitamin E protects the scalp from external damage (pollution, sun, wind, climate…) and defers white hair.
