What is quinoa?
Quinoa, as you can see in the photo above, is actually a plant with fleshy leaves. The quinoa we see everywhere is actually the seeds of this plant. So, what's added to various dishes and salads is actually quinoa seeds. Quinoa comes in varieties like white, black, red, and golden, and its popularity stems from its high nutritional value.
Quinoa contains vitamins A, B, C, D, and K. It is also rich in protein, magnesium, iron, zinc, calcium, and phosphorus. Such a nutritious plant is, of course, very beneficial for our hair as well.
Benefits of quinoa for hair:
It protects the hair:
Quinoa's protein content penetrates the hair strands, nourishing them and surrounding them to protect them from external damage.
It repairs hair:
Thanks to the vitamins it contains, quinoa also strengthens and repairs hair. So, quinoa is ideal for treating damaged hair.
It prevents hair breakage:
Similarly, quinoa moisturizes and nourishes hair while repairing split ends and preventing further breakage.
It nourishes without causing aggravation:
Of course, all this happens without weighing the hair down. While the hair is nourished, it gently gains moisture without becoming heavy, and looks much healthier and more well-groomed.
