The Benefits of Red Pepper for Hair
Red capsicum is considered to be one of the most effective natural growth stimulants of hair follicles. Thanks to the phenolic compound capsaicin, it accelerates metabolic processes in skin cells and bulbs. It is the aggressive effect of capsaicin that is expressed in burning irritation, which is felt when using pepper. In addition, chili pepper contains many vitamins and elements useful for growth and strengthening of hair. So, for example, it is very rich in vitamins A and C, necessary for the regeneration of damaged cells and vitamin B6, which activates growth and prevents hair loss.
