DIY Hair Care Nourishing Pumpkin Seed Oil Treatments

Pumpkin seed oil is a versatile and nutrient-rich product, offering numerous benefits for hair care. At Frinton Farms, we believe in harnessing the power of nature for holistic health and beauty. Here’s how you can create effective DIY hair treatments using pumpkin seed oil.

Why Pumpkin Seed Oil?

Nutrient-Rich

Pumpkin seed oil is packed with essential fatty acids including Omega-3 and Omega-6, vitamins A, E, and K, as well as zinc and magnesium, making it a powerhouse for hair health. Whether in liquid form or as pumpkin seed oil capsules, it offers a convenient way to ensure your hair receives these vital nutrients.

Promotes Hair Growth

Pumpkin seed oil’s ability to inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which is involved in the production of DHT, a hormone linked to hair loss, supports its role in promoting hair growth​

Scalp Health

The anti-inflammatory properties of pumpkin seed oil can help soothe the scalp, reduce dandruff, and improve overall scalp health, creating an optimal environment for hair growth

Moisturising Properties

Pumpkin seed oil provides deep moisture and strengthens hair follicles, improving hair texture and reducing breakage. Its light consistency makes it suitable for all hair types, from fine to coarse​
