2. Eat healthy… like, really do it
There are no studies which have identified specific foods for improving one’s hair but a general observation is that a balanced diet which is good for the whole body also works for the hair too. If you don’t consume the right amount of nutrients, you may end up losing hair and the process of regrowing it will take a much longer time. A balanced diet will keep your follicles healthy and happy.
You need to track the kind of food you eat on a day-to-day, identify the bad items, and replace them with nutrition-filled ones like:
Protein-Infused Meals
High quality, lean protein is one of the best nutrients for great hair: chicken, turkey, fish, and eggs are great sources of protein.
Fish or Walnuts
Omega 6 Fatty Acids are found in fish, flaxseed, canola oil, pumpkin seeds and walnuts.
Vitamin-rich foods
Leafy, green vegetables are excellent sources of vitamins A and C, besides being full of calcium and iron. For example, green peas are great for taking in multivitamins + iron while carrots do fantastic on vitamin A.
3. Keep a Clean Lifestyle
At a first glance, you might wonder how a healthy lifestyle has anything to do with your hair. Well, it’s all connected in a way or another. There are indirect factors that we might cross off, but in reality, can be affecting your physical, including your hair.
Keep your body hydrated
Drink up to three liters of water a day. Remind yourself by keeping a bottle next to you or download any app to remind yourself automatically.
Smoking kills… hair
Avoid smoking cigarettes as they contain harmful toxins that could also affect your hair.
Don’t stress out!
Always breathe and exercise yoga to stay calm. Stress can make your hair prone to fall faster.
Don’t be a night owl
It’s better to sleep early and wake up early to keep your body rejuvenated and your hair strong.
