SECRET TO HEALTHY HAIR
Did you know haircare can be as easy as incorporating certain vitamins in your diet?
Who does not want long and healthy hair and what should one not do to attain it? From trying a variety of products to spending hours at a salon, we have tried it all. But did you know that haircare can be as easy as eating certain vitamins?
Here are a few vitamins that are equivalent to pixie dust for the hair:
- Biotins
Biotins are one of the most commonly suggested and effective vitamins that promote healthy hair. It is B-complex vitamin that promotes healthy hair by increasing the hair’s elasticity. It protects against dryness which also helps prevent breakage. Also, Biotin helps produce keratin which is a primary component for healthy hair.
You can easily incorporate them in your diet through the intake of brown rice, oats and leafy green vegetables like spinach.
- Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an ingredient we often use to combat cough, cold and flu. But did you know that it is equally effective in promoting healthy hair? It is the building block for collagen, a vital structural protein that boosts healthy hair growth. In addition, it helps the body derive iron from leafy veggies and since it is rich in antioxidants, a vitamin C deficiency can lead to split ends and hair loss too.
Try adding oranges, bell pepper and broccoli to your diet to get a dose of this nutrient, and healthy and lustrous hair.
- Iron
Iron is one of the most essential nutrients that are vital for the body to function properly. Its deficiency can cause your hair to become thin, dry and dull. This is because iron helps to carry oxygen to the roots of the hair, making it essential for the growth and the overall health of the hair.
If you’re prone to hair loss, incorporating iron-rich foods is one of the simplest things you can do to prevent further loss and get healthier hair. Lentils, spinach and sesame seeds are a storehouse of iron that one can try.
- Vitamin E
Vitamin E is rich in antioxidants and improves body’s blood circulation by increasing the oxygen uptake. This in turn promotes hair growth. The nutrient also helps in repairing and rebuilding tissues, so damaged strands are taken care of.
Add beans, nuts and soybeans to your meal and reap the benefits of this vitamin.
That is as simple as it gets and your shortest way to get long and shiny hair!
