See How Easily You Can Revitalize Your Hair
Revitalizing shampoos, hair-care products aside, great
nutrition is by far the most effective way of getting
great-looking hair! Like your body, your hair too needs a
balanced, nutritious diet to stay healthy.
Water
One of the most important fluids you could ever have, water
makes up one-fourth of the weight of a strand of hair.
Moisture makes the hair supple; so ensure you get plenty of
fluids. A key point is not to wait until you're thirsty. If
you're thirsty, it means your body has already lost more
water than it should have, and it's urging you to refill
the tank! Water not only hydrates your body, but also helps
keep your hair silky and shiny. Ideally, you should drink
between eight and ten glasses of water a day.
Protein
Protein is the building block of hair, so a diet for
healthy hair contains an awful lot of protein! Protein will
give the shaft of your hair more strength, and will reduce
the possibility of damage through snapping and splitting.
You can get protein from foods like fish, meat, milk,
cheese and cereals.
Minerals
In addition to water and proteins, minerals are equally
important. Remember, your hair, like the rest of your body
thrives on the natural resources.
* Iron helps to carry oxygen to the hair. Without enough
iron, hair and its follicles get starved of
oxygen. This
means that the 'goodness' in the root of your hair is much
less effective along the length of the strand. You can
increase your iron intake by eating red meat and dark green
vegetables, or by iron supplements.
* Zinc builds hair protein, which helps to prevent hair
loss. Meat and seafood are the foods highest in zinc.
* Copper is involved in the pigmentation of hair. You can
optimize your natural color with a diet with plenty of
copper. Shellfish, liver, fresh vegetables, nuts, seeds and
meat are all high in copper.
Vitamins
* Vitamin A will give you a healthy scalp, because it's
great for the skin! You can get vitamin A from foods like
vegetables-in particular, carrots.
* Vitamin B and C is important for good circulation, hair
growth and hair color. If you ensure that you have enough
vitamin B and C, you'll have strong, supple strands of hair
that do not split. You can get these vitamins from eating
foods like fruit, vegetables, cereals, eggs, milk and
bread.
Just follow this good food guide to healthy and great
looking hair. You could do without all the artificial
chemicals.
