Cinnamon's benefits for hair care explained

Cinnamon contains Cinnamaldehyde, which stimulates blood flow to the scalp, delivering oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles for faster growth.

Cinnamon has antifungal and antibacterial properties that help eliminate dandruff-causing fungus and reduce scalp itchiness and inflammation.

Antioxidants in cinnamon protect hair follicles from damage, strengthen roots, and reduce hair fall.

A DIY hair mask recipe: mix 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder with 2 teaspoons honey and 2 teaspoons coconut or olive oil, apply to scalp for 15-20 minutes, then wash with mild shampoo.

Always do a patch test before using cinnamon on the scalp to check for irritation or allergic reactions, and never apply cinnamon directly without mixing with oil or honey.
