Are You Starving Your Hair

Blame it on the weather or a terrible cut, but the real reason behind
consistently
bad hair days may be what your eat, not what you use
to style your hair.


The first step in getting healthier hair is modifying your diet, which can be as
simple as cutting out foods that provide no nutritional value, vitamins, or proteins.

HEALTHY HAIR GROWTH: A diet rich in protein, especially soy, is believed
to encourage hair growth.

STOP DANDRUFF: Necessary to repair damaged hair and cells, zinc, which
is found in whole grains, also reduces the incidence of dandruff.

KEEP THE SCALP HYDRATED: Found in flaxseed, walnuts, and salmon,
omega-3 fatty acids act as a natural conditioner of sorts for the scalp.

THE HAIR STRENGTHENER: All types of vitamin B, like B2, B6, and B12,
are beneficial since they carry oxygen and nutrients to the scalps and hair follicles, improve hair strength and regulate sebum production.

FOODS TO AVOID:
When modifying your "hair" diet, you may want to cut your intake of these foods by at half since they can prevent the absorption of B vitamins, iron, and zinc.
* COFFEE
* ALCOHOL
* BLACK TEA
* SUGAR
