We run our business on making your hair grow more: dense & strong. Although we would put our hands into fire for the products we make for you, we still have to admit that there are certain ways how you can nourish your hair better by your every day actions. It will cost you nothing extra, just to take a better care of yourself. Lets go through them.
1. Check What You Eat
Your hair needs proper nutrition to grow, just like the rest of your body. Although food by itself is not all required to make your hair grow in full force, it helps a lot.
Make sure to include foods rich in:
-
Protein – Hair is primarily made of keratin, a protein. Eat lean meats, eggs, dairy, legumes, and nuts to strengthen hair follicles.
-
Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Include in your diet fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts. These fats nourish the scalp and encourage hair growth.
-
Vitamins and Minerals – Iron, zinc, biotin, and vitamins A, C, and D. I am not a big fan of getting vitamins to your body in a form of pills. So how to get these ones to your body in a natural way? Eat more leafy greens, citrus fruits, and whole grains.
2. Drink a Lot of Water
Drinking enough water keeps your hair hydrated from the inside out. We all heard the 2 liters of water per day being the official advise and then to be debunked. However, when it comes to helping your hair, drinking more water is always better. And drinking not enough water is literally bad for your hair.
3. Reduce Heat Styling
Yes, this advise is mostly for women: using too much of heat-styling tools like straighteners, curling irons, and blow dryers will weaken hair strands. Try to reduce it to help your hair.
4. Be Gentle with Your Hair
-
Avoid excessive brushing, especially when your hair is wet.
-
Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle your hair carefully.
-
Get a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction.
5. Minimize Stress
Ok, this one is easier to advise than to do, but still: if you can make your life less stressful, your hair will thank you.
It is connected with the fact that your body sends nutrients where they are necessary the most at the moment. If you make your body stressed for long periods of time, you can be sure that very few of the nutrients that flow through your body will get to your hair. Simply because your body knows that for survival you do not need the hair that much.
6. Protect Your Hair from Sun
Some people wear hat not only to hide their balding hair, but also to protect their hair. If you let the sun shine on your scalp for too long (especially at times when the sun is the strongest), your hair will not be happy about it at all.
Conclusion
When you start to take care of your hair, its good to not only to buy hair and scalp products to support the hair externally. You also need to support your hair internally. These are small adjustments that you can do on daily basis.
However, if you already experience hair thinning, or, god-forbid, balding certain areas of your head, these will not be enough. They will add some extra benefit to your hair growth, but they will do just that.
So if you are serious about getting your strong and dense hair back, make sure to combine these tips with some of the hair growth products.
