Potatoes are sometimes included in DIY hair treatments due to their vitamin content—especially vitamin B, vitamin C, zinc, and niacin—which are believed to promote healthy hair and scalp. While there’s no scientific proof that potatoes directly cause hair to grow, some people use potato juice hair masks as part of a natural routine to strengthen and thicken hair.
