Say yes to cucumbers for your hair, a replacement from hair products

We all know about the benefits of cucumber for your skin - but what about for your hair?

Well, cucumber can be a great natural hair growth products too, according to Nicole Cothrun Venables, a Hollywood stylist writing for the Huffington Post.

It’s packed full of vitamins and silica, an antioxidant, and helps growth and repair on your scalp, the expert says.

You can puree it into a clear cream to make your own scalp treatment - simply blend up a cucumber with a quarter of a cup of plain organic yoghurt, a teaspoon of Aloe Vera juice and a pinch of sea salt.

Apply it to your scalp and leave it to work its magic for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing well.

Alternatively, if that sounds a bit messy, there are plenty of natural hair products out there which use this natural ingredient.

The people at Yes to Cucumbers obviously know all about the wonders of cucumbers - and they produce a shampoo and a conditioner which are both well worth a try.
