Proteins and Minerals

• Papaya contains proteins. Just as for muscles, proteins help hair stay strong. Strong hair is often firmer and less likely to split, which makes the straightening process easier. Since proteins also aide in the stimulation of hair growth, hair often becomes fuller. Full, strong hair is less likely to be frizzy; hair straightening products aim to cut down on frizz, a reason papaya may be a key ingredient. Iron and magnesium are also found in papaya, further contributing to its hair strengthening and hair growth powers.
  
  

vitamin B6

• Papaya contains the vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 helps to prevent dandruff, which can clog hair follicles and make hair less manageable. Hair will often be less tangled and less likely to break off into split roots, which will help prevent hair from being damaged during the straightening process. Hair will also be less greasy with vitamin B6, which is often a complaint users of hair straightening products have.
  
  

Vitamins A and C

• Vitamin C keeps hair hydrated and less likely to be dry. This keeps hair soft and naturally relaxed, leading hair to lay uniformly flatter and straighter. Vitamin A also gives hair a natural shine, much like you would get from a hair straightener. When combined with a hair straightening tool, papaya products will help to achieve maximum hair shine.
