Keep Your Hair Healthy and Hydrated With Strawberries!
I know it may be hard to believe...but summer is right around the corner!
What are some of your favorite ways to enjoy the sunniest months of the year?
If you ask me, there’s nothing better than a picnic with my family and friends...soaking up the warmth of the day...and enjoying my favorite summertime fruit:
STRAWBERRIES!
That’s right. Nothing says summer like bright red, fresh-picked, super-sweet strawberries. My mouth is watering just thinking of them!
“Strawberries make a healthy and delicious addition to any summer picnic!”
Unfortunately, even though strawberries at a sunny-day picnic is one of the best summer-fun activities…
...too much of that sun, and your hair could be facing some serious consequences!
Of course, you don’t need me to tell you this. You’re no doubt aware that excessive exposure to the sun can cause:
- Limp hair from built-up humidity
- Dry, dehydrated hair
- A raw, sunburned scalp
- Split ends and dandruff caused by sweat and dust
- Fading of color treatments
- A major case of the frizzies
- ...and even increased hair loss!
But here’s the good news:
You’ll be surprised to learn that strawberries can be an excellent way to protect your hair’s health, moisture, and shine during the summer…
...and you don’t even have to eat them!
YOUR HAIR LOVES STRAWBERRIES, TOO!
It turns out that, in addition to being a scrumptious, nutrient-rich snack…
...strawberries can also be used to create an exceptional, revitalizing summer-season hair mask!
That’s because strawberries are loaded with all-natural vitamin C.
This will regulate your scalp’s pH balance, and maintain its healthy production of vital oils…
...just what your hair needs to maintain its moisture and glossiness, even in the harshest dog-day sun! 1
As if that’s not enough, your hair also gets major protective benefits from the strawberry’s seeds as well.
You see, strawberries are the only fruit where the seeds actually grow on the outside.
And those seeds serve as a strong natural exfoliant. That means when you use them on your hair, they can scrub dead and dry skin particles from your scalp…
...leaving the skin moisturized, replenished, and free of unsightly dandruff! 2
“The seeds on the outside of a strawberry can cleanse your skin of dry and dead skin”.
