Fall May Be Over But Pumpkins Are Still Giving

It is a new year and it is full of possibilities. One of those possibilities is giving yourself the hair you deserve and desire. That all begins with finding the right product and knowing how the ingredients will actually benefit you.

So what do you know about pumpkin seed oil?

Pumpkin seed oil has an array of benefits when consumed or applied topically. It is also one of the key ingredients in our Follicle Stimulating Serum. Here is why your hair will thank you for using pumpkin seed oil:

1. Omega-3s & Fatty Acids: They are essential to providing proteins and nutrients to the hair follicle. The fatty acids can help stimulate hair growth (linoleic acid) while maintaining a healthy scalp. Oleic acid also helps retain the moisture in the hair.

2. Vitamin E: Its antioxidant properties help protect the hair from free radicals and is often seen as a “cure-all” for frizzy and damaged hair.

3. Zinc: Essential for hair tissue growth and repair. Zinc is also effective in healing skin lesions such as acne, psoriasis, and dermatitis. Hair loss is often tied to zinc deficiencies.

The best way to apply pumpkin seed oil is through a hot oil treatment. Apply our Follicle Stimulating Serum to the scalp and hair. Cover with a plastic cap, and/or sit under a hooded dryer for at least 20 minutes. Rinse with shampoo to remove the product from the hair.
