Shinier, Stronger Hair
The vitamin A found in tomatoes helps with many things throughout the body. Besides helping with vision and skin, vitamin A can also help create shinier, stronger hair.
It isn't necessary for people to apply tomatoes to their hair to see results. The acid in the tomatoes may actually irritate the scalp, especially in people with sensitive skin. Eating a diet high in vitamin A can produce results from the inside out. Besides tomatoes, vitamin A is found in eggs, carrots and broccoli.
