Applied to the scalp, the humble nettle is said to promote the growth of strong, shiny hair by stimulating blood circulation, while preventing dandruff and balancing sebum production.

Nettles are widespread all over the world as they thrive in almost every soil and tolerate many different climates.&nbsp;

Dreaded by toddlers and clumsy people, they are famously irritant and can provoke a quite intense burning sensation on the skin.
