Ingredients
- 1 large potato (peeled)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil (optional for added moisture)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional for nourishment)

Instructions
- Prepare the Potato: Grate or blend the peeled potato into a smooth paste. You can also extract the juice by blending and straining.

- Let it Sit: Leave the mixture on for about 20-30 minutes to allow the nutrients to soak in.

- Repeat: For best results, repeat this treatment 1-2 times a week.
Why Potatoes? Potatoes are rich in vitamins like vitamin C, B, and A, and they contain minerals such as iron and zinc, which may support healthy hair growth by nourishing the scalp and promoting blood circulation.
