Hair Quickie: Did you know that pumpkins contain potassium as well as Vitamin A making them excellent for promoting hair growth and a healthy scalp? Create a simple hair growth mask by combining about two cups of pumpkin with dollops of yogurt, honey and coconut oil. Blend mixture together well then apply to strands wrapping them in saran wrap or placing in a plastic cap. Allow the mixture to nourish hair for 20 minutes then shampoo and condition locks as normal.
