We tease it, tangle it, tug it and twist it. Then we perm it, color it and straighten it. From hair spray and blow dryers to chlorine and curlers, our manes undergo a brutal assault, often losing their former glow and glory.
Crash dieting, long illnesses and even childbirth can make it become brittle and eventually fall out.
Staying healthy remains the best insurance policy to avoid tresses in distress. Balanced
diet, proper rest, exercise and even acupressure will condition your hair better than any product on the market.
Diet for beautiful hair
Magnificent manes spring from a diet rich in nutrients. If your locks are limp and lifeless, add more protein such as eggs, lean meat and fish, beans and seeds, whole grains and low-fat dairy or soy products.
Vitamins and essential fatty acids can restore luster to dull hair. Good sources include green leafy vegetables, brewer’s yeast, berries, apples and citrus fruits. Biotin is considered the most potent vitamin for promoting hair health and preventing gray. Wheat bran, eggs and liver offer the highest levels.
Hair also thrives on essential minerals such as iodine, sulfur, zinc and silica. Add these to your diet with seafood, sunflower seeds, alfalfa, dandelion greens, garlic, kale, spirulina, oysters, pumpkin seeds and wheat grass. Borage, evening primrose and flaxseed oils all contain omega-3 fatty acids, which help keep hair supple and shiny.
