First of all, what are antioxidants (Cuz, we hear this term a LOT...)
- Antioxidants are like superheroes for your hair! 💫 They work tirelessly to combat free radicals, which are harmful molecules that can damage your hair cells and lead to dullness, dryness, and even hair loss.
- By neutralizing free radicals, antioxidants help protect your hair from environmental stressors like pollution, UV radiation, and heat styling, keeping it looking healthy and vibrant.

Anthocyanins: These are responsible for the deep purple color of acai berries and are potent antioxidants that help protect hair follicles from damage caused by free radicals.

Vitamin E: Vitamin E is another powerful antioxidant found in acai berries. It helps protect the scalp and hair follicles from oxidative stress, promoting healthier hair growth.
Polyphenols: Acai berries contain various polyphenols, such as flavonoids and phenolic acids, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds help improve scalp health and stimulate hair growth.
Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids: Acai berries contain a good balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which help nourish the scalp and hair follicles, promoting hair growth and reducing inflammation.
