Understanding the Ingredients

Here's a breakdown of why these ingredients are beneficial:

• Papaya: Rich in vitamins and enzymes that promote hair growth.
• Banana: Adds moisture and shine while improving hair elasticity.
• Mayonnaise: Contains oils and proteins that moisturize and strengthen.
• Egg: High in protein, which is essential for repairing and strengthening brittle hair.
• Honey: A humectant that draws moisture into the hair (but be mindful that it can draw moisture out of the hair as well, in dry environments).
• Avocado: Provides essential fatty acids and vitamins for moisture and shine.
• Olive Oil: Nourishes the scalp and hair with healthy fats and antioxidants.
