Every hair problem demands a frantic Google search on how to counter it, and one such Google search has led you here, you might be wondering, "Bamboo extracts, really?" It might seem surprising at first, but think about the tall, sturdy bamboo swaying gracefully in the wind while other plants struggle. It suddenly makes sense why bamboo is used for strengthening hair!

Let’s start by understanding what bamboo extracts are, then look at their benefits and then learn how you can incorporate them into your hair care routine! 

Bamboo extract - what is it?

Bamboo, or Bambusa vulgaris, is the world’s fastest-growing and self-sustaining plant that has various culinary and beauty benefits. Among other benefits, bamboo extracts for hair are considered a magical elixir due to the presence of a high content of silica in it. 

Silica is an essential trace mineral that stimulates hair growth, fortifies hair, removes dead skin cells from the scalp and restores elasticity, thus leading to less breakage. (Do you know that bamboo extracts are said to have more than 70% silica content in them? (1))

 As we age, the silica content in our bodies tends to reduce, thus including hair care products which are rich in bamboo extracts, can help your locks become shinier and thicker.

Bamboo extract is also renowned for its scalp-soothing properties, improving blood circulation in the scalp, stimulating hair follicles and encouraging the development of a fuller mane. 

Now let's check out the 

Benefits of bamboo extracts for hair

Bamboo extracts have been used in hair care for a long time and are an integral part of Chinese herbal medicines and Indian ayurvedic medicines, here are some reasons why:

Bamboo extracts assist in cleansing the scalp by gently removing the buildup of hair care products, dead skin cells, and pollutants, thereby highlighting the lustre and radiant sheen of your locks. 

Our hair, skin, and bones naturally contain a micronutrient i.e., Silica, which is known to contribute to the suppleness and youthful appearance of these tissues. Using hair care products infused with bamboo extracts helps in regaining the lost amount of this micronutrient from our scalp and significantly speeds up hair growth. (2)

An inflamed and itchy scalp hinders hair growth. Having anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities, bamboo extracts support the health of the scalp and follicles while relieving inflammation. (3)

Your hair may appear dull and frizzy even when they are clean and not oily. Having moisture retention properties, the bamboo extracts aid in nourishing your hair and scalp. Also, to give hair a healthy, non-greasy shine and to prevent frizz brought on by humidity or dryness, bamboo extract enhances moisture retention.

One of bamboo extract's most amazing qualities is its capacity to fortify hair follicles and even enhance their width. Bamboo extract promotes blood circulation while removing irritation, dirt and dead skin cells from the scalp, allowing each follicle to grow stronger hair. Bamboo extract-infused hair care products are extremely crucial for individuals dealing with thin and brittle hair. 

Antioxidants present in bamboo extract can aid in defending hair against environmental harm, such as UV rays and pollution, which can cause dryness and hair damage. (4)
