Noni in Hair Care
Shea Moisture* and Tahitian Noni International are two companies which have been exploring the benefits of noni to hair care. These companies have found that while noni is good on its own, it works great in synergy with other organic solutions to promote healthy skin and hair.
Having had success with their anti- aging cosmetics line using noni, Tahitian Noni International have formulated products from noni to address issues such as dry, brittle hair and hair that is limp. The following components of noni are quite beneficial to hair care:
Vitamin C*– This is an anti oxidant which is good for hair since it aids in the regeneration of sells and mitigates against the effects of free radicals from the environment. Since our bodies do not produce this vitamin, a good source from which you can get your daily intake should be on your list of priorities.
If you want to experiment you can make your own spritzer with the noni juice which can serve as a humectant, considering that the antioxidants attract moisture . The presence of this vitamin also helps in color retention to ensure your hair maintains it’s color for longer. It is for this reason that the BSY Noni Black Hair Miracle Shampoo is gaining some amount of popularity.
Polyphenols – This is a compound that actually functions like solar panels which capture UV light and also refracts it back into the skin in a focused way to minimize damage on the skin. In essence, these compounds provide natural protection against the damaging effects of the sun so it acts like a sunblock.
Niacin- This just happens to be a part of the B Vitamins* which are said to promote hair growth. Niacin* in noni works in conjunction with other micronutrients to improve blood circulation, which should stimulate the hair follicles. The presence of niacin* also tends to lower cholesterol which can often turn into DHT- the harmone which causes hair loss.
Considerations
It is important to note that noni contains high levels of potassium* which may exacerbate kidney problems, and niacin which can cause liver problems to worsen. For this reason, it is better to seek professional medical advice before adding noni to your regimen
So there you have it, the skinny on the superfood called noni. Food is your best medicine and health within translates to health on the outside so if you are desirous of making food your medicine to address your health and beauty needs, remember the noni can help.
