Here are some surprising benefits of pineapple for hair.

1. Promote hair growth

According to the International Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences , pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which helps break down proteins and increases blood flow to the scalp. Increased blood flow brings important nutrients to hair follicles, promoting hair growth.

2. Reduce dandruff

Pineapple contains natural antifungal properties that help control the growth of yeast, a common cause of dandruff, according to a study published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine.

3. Improve scalp health

Pineapple is rich in anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe an inflamed scalp by reducing redness and irritation. A healthy scalp is essential to promoting healthy hair, according to the journal Food Research International.

4. Make hair shiny

According to a study published in the International Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences, pineapple is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which help enhance hair's natural shine and luster.

5. Restore damaged hair

“Manganese and other essential minerals found in pineapple can help repair and rebuild damaged hair structure. This is especially beneficial for people with dry or damaged hair,” explains dermatologist Dr DM Mahajan at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals.

6. Detangle hair

Pineapple contains natural moisturizing properties that help hydrate the hair shaft, leaving hair soft and smooth, reducing breakage and frizz.

7. Protect dyed hair

“The antioxidants in pineapple can protect hair from environmental factors such as UV radiation and pollution, thereby preserving color and preventing fading. This is especially important for those with color-treated hair,” explains Dr DM Mahajan.
