Is your cat having a problem with hairballs?  Add 1/2 tsp of plain pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) to your cat's food once every day.  The pumpkin is fiber rich and has a pleasant taste most cats enjoy.

Pumpkin Hair Conditioner

I love, love, love pumpkin.  As I have mentioned in recent posts, pumpkin is great for the skin especially dry, cracked, and/or aging skin, but pumpkin also has lots of moisturizing effects for your hair!

Pumpkin is great for moisturizing dry or damaged hair and the potassium found in pumpkins promotes hair growth.

I also added:

Yogurt- Yogurt contains lactic acid which stimulates blood circulation, encouraging hair growth.  The proteins found in yogurt also strengthen the hair strands.

Soybean oil- Soybean oil promotes hair growth while adding strength and shine.

Honey-  This ingredient attracts moisture and nourishes the hair follicles, which encourages hair growth.

Ingredients ready to be mixed.

After you mix the ingredients together, apply to hair and let sit 3-5 minutes.  Rinse thoroughly.  You can use this conditioner immediately after shampooing or on dry hair.  

Ready for application
