Japanese-Inspired Potato Juice Hair Growth Treatment
A centuries-old beauty secret for thicker, stronger, and shinier hair!
Potato juice is packed with vitamins B & C, iron, zinc, and enzymes that nourish hair follicles, reduce breakage, and promote growth. This simple treatment is inspired by Japanese and Eastern European herbal traditions.
✨ Benefits:
✔ Stimulates hair growth (rich in iron + folate for circulation)
