Hair – The rich vitamin E and K content is great for nourishing and strengthening your hair follicles from the roots and also acts as a natural moisturizer. Vitamin K works to thicken your blood cells and tighten your skin, which means more nutrients pass into your hair follicles and the scalp has a tighter grip on the hair thus reducing hair fall. It is also great to treat hair fall in men as the high vitamin E content found in the oil also helps to reduce and inhibit a chemical known as alpha 5 -reductase, which is the result of testosterone that gathers in the scalp. By inhibiting the alpha 5-reductase, you increase the amount of nutrients that reach your hair follicles and allow for regulated, healthy growth to continue – effectively preventing alopecia (or male pattern baldness).
