Nurturing your hair means making sure it gets all of the essential nutrients it requires for good health, such as biotin, vitamin C, iron and zinc. Eating a well-rounded diet rich in biotin will ensure it gets everything it needs to remain strong.
Here are a few strategies for doing just that.
Apply Oil
Hair oil provides a crucial safeguard against heat damage and helps strengthen your locks, as well as encouraging nutrient absorption to promote healthy scalp development and reduce hair fall.
Before applying hair oil, gently detangle your locks to eliminate tangles and ensure even distribution. Warming up the oil slightly beforehand may also enhance absorption by the scalp.
Choose a natural hair oil that fits your specific needs, such as amla to condition and nourish hair, neem to soothe itchy scalps or black seed oil for its anti-ageing benefits. Ayurvedic oils also boast therapeutic qualities, such as strengthening strands by using ingredients like ashwagandha. If you have sensitive skin, go for milder oils such as olive or coconut instead.
Trim Your Hair
Healthy locks require regular nourishment to remain nourished. To keep your locks hydrated, drink sufficient water and use products with high amounts of nutrients and moisture content.
Regularly applying hair oil is one of the best ways to nourish and strengthen your locks. It locks essential moisture into the strands, reduces dryness and stops frizziness – for best results, apply warm hair oil directly onto the scalp and strands before shampooing your locks.
Unhealthy diet, high levels of stress and limited hours of restful sleep are all contributing to damaged and lackluster tresses. But with proper habits and taking an all-inclusive approach to hair nourishment, you can achieve your dream mane.
Detangling Serum
Hair serums can make your locks lustrous, shiny and soft while making styling simpler. Detangling serum is especially helpful if your locks have thick, kinky or curly locks – it makes detangled knots much simpler to manage after shampooing!
Use a high-quality hair serum containing nourishing ingredients like Shea butter, olive squalene oil and marula oil for maximum hair health and vitality. After washing and conditioning your locks, apply the serum from back to front in small sections so as not to miss any strands of hair. This ensures an even distribution throughout the head and face area.
Reduce Heat Styling
Heat styling is an integral part of many hair care regimens, but overexposure to heat can damage strands if done too frequently. To protect against this damage from heat, the key is limiting exposure as much as possible and using heat protectants or exploring non-heat styling alternatives – these steps should all help your tresses to remain strong!
Heat styling can deplete moisture from your locks, leaving them dry, brittle, and dull-looking tresses. One way to combat this damage is investing in an intensive deep conditioning treatment like Oribe’s Moisture & Control Deep Conditioning Mask which will replenish lost hydration as well as repair any damage done.
Reducing the amount of heat exposure your hair experiences is the single best way to mitigate and even reverse any damage it suffers due to heat exposure. Healthy, strong strands will fare far better in their resilience against heat exposure than dry, brittle ones!
Eat Healthy Foods
Nutrition plays an integral role in maintaining hair health, just as much as using products on it. Registered dietitians have reported that diets containing essential nutrients can improve issues like thinning strands and dry scalp.
Salmon is a high-protein fish with low saturated fat levels and abundant omega-3 fatty acids, helping maintain a healthy scalp and follicles. Other protein-rich options that should be part of your diet include sardines and mackerel.
Dark green leafy vegetables contain essential vitamins A, C, beta carotene and iron to nourish follicles and prevent brittle strands. Try including spinach or kale in salads, or combine these nutritious superfoods into breakfast routine with an exciting Kale, Egg and Avocado Toast recipe!
Folic acid and the B6 and B12 vitamins are also crucial components of maintaining healthy hair, and can be found in various fruits and vegetables, including citrus fruits, tomatoes and whole-grain or fortified breads (buckwheat is an ideal option).
