Giving hair knockout shine
Dietary essential fatty acids help to lock moisture into your hair and
applying them topically is also supportive. By massaging coconut oil into
the scalp you are stimulating circulation and protecting the hair follicles to encourage
hair regrowth and prevent dandruff on the scalp. Don’t just stop at the scalp,
massaging the oil throughout the hair as you would with a conditioner will
leave your locks with a bouncy shine. Coconut oil has endless benefits and can
also be used on childrens hair as it contains fatty acids such as lauric acid
which acts as an antimicrobial against lice when massaged into the scalp.
Avoiding weak broken hair
Pollutants and the daily use of hair products can take their toll on
your hair making it lifeless and weak. With this in mind, a component of hair
that should be encouraged and protected is keratin, a fibrous structural
protein that is partly formed by cysteine sulphide-bonds. By eating eating
eggs, onions and garlic you are providing the cysteine necessary to support
keratin synthesis and as a result, strong and healthy hair.
Fuller hair and a vibrant colour
Deficiencies in nutrients such as PABA, biotin, pantothenic acid and
folic acid can lead to greying of the hair. Ensuring a rich intake of the B
vitamin family along with copper provides comprehensive support for the natural
colour pigments in your hair. When all of your friends are reaching for the
hair dye, you can eat nutritious foods to ensure that your natural colour
shines through. Not only does biotin do wonders for hair colour but it may also
protect the follicles from hair loss. There are a few other gems that should
not be forgotten. Inositol is another member of the B vitamin family that has
been clinically shown to encourage hair growth. Last but not least, zinc
is a mineral which is crucial for healthy hair. Zinc slows the conversion of
testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a process which is linked to male
pattern baldness in men but helps healthy hormone balance in women and
encourages hair strength. Incorporating these simple tips can help you become
the envy of your friends with shiny, luscious locks.
