Unfortunately, sometimes married life is hard and intimacy isn’t always the easiest…....

Benefits of Panthenol for Hair Here are some of the benefits of panthenol for hair: 1. Strengthens hair. Panthenol is a strengthening agent that penetrates each and every strand of hair and seals off the cuticle to prevent splitting and fraying.

Panthenol is also a humectant, a substance that creates a barrier on the surface of each strand of hair to lock in moisture....
