Sweet potatoes are edible roots that contain a high amount of different nutrients. These nutrients, besides giving sweet potato a delicious taste, also provide some fantastic benefits for skin and hair. 

Sweet potato contains beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A. Vitamin A is a natural antioxidant; it neutralizes the free radicals present in our body and promotes the growth of new healthy cells for both skin and hair. 

Sweet potato also contains vitamin C. Besides being an antioxidant, it is very important for collagen production, and collagen is the main component of skin and hair.

Being rich in potassium, it moisturizes the skin and keeps it healthy.

Iron in the sweet potato increases hemoglobin production, which in return increases oxygen in the body and prevents hair loss.

Copper present in sweet potato is an excellent weapon against hair loss. This study proves it.

Sweet potato contains vitamin B6 and B12, and it provides an excellent environment for hair growth and hair follicle repair. It also increases the blood flow to the scalp and provides adequate nourishment to the hairs.

In summary, sweet potato is considered an underrated root. It contains a considerable amount of nutrients like beta-carotene, iron, copper, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin B6, B12. It aids healthy skin cell growth, anti-aging, hair growth, prevents hair thinning, reduces the dullness in hair, and also controls high blood pressure.
