Features and benefits for Hair:

STRONG AND HEALTHY HAIR: slippery elm improves and increases the elasticity of the hair strand — helping your hair bend before it breaks. This alone restores the cuticle and keeps moisture in. But that’s not all that slippery elm does. Slippery elm is quite rich in calcium, which is essential for strengthening the hair. The amino acids in slippery elm bark will encourage circulation to the roots of the hair and the hair follicles. It can encourage new and healthy growth while adding shine and sheen to lackluster hair.

CONDITIONS THE HAIR; Since slippery elm is a natural conditioner that is rich in nutrients, it conditions the hair very well.
