It is normal that with all the handling, the use of products and artifacts on our hair causes it to weaken and lose life with the passage of time.What is not normal is that we do absolutely nothing to remedy it, and that is exactly what we will take care of in this post.
How to get healthy hair with volume?
1. Recover strength in your hair
First of all, it is very important that we act quickly before weakened and lifeless hair.
This detail has a solution: what you do not have is if you let it die completely and do nothing for it.
The first thing we recommend when you notice your weak hair is that you change the cosmetics you are using.
At this point it is preferable that you look for products designed to restructure the hair fibers, as they will make your hair grow strong from its roots.
- Some of the most recommended restructuring products are those formulated with arginine, a complex designed to strengthen the hair fiber.
2. Feed your hair
Hair thinning is not only caused by external factors.
In this sense, there are internal factors such as genetics or hormones that, over time, lose their vitality and cause a loss of strength of our hair.
One of the ways to care for these internal factors is with an adequate diet, through which we provide nutrients to the body so that it maintains its vitality and proper functioning.
These are the nutrients that should not be missing from your diet if you want to maintain the vitality of your hair:
- Iron and copper. Make sure you include foods such as spinach, nuts, seafood, whole-wheat pasta, oats, eggs, parsley, avocado, strawberries, figs, and sugar-free chocolate in your diet. All of them maintain the vitality in the scalp.
- Vitamin B. Foods such as tuna, natural yoghurts, potatoes, kale, brewer’s yeast and turkey meat will help prevent hair loss and the appearance of gray hair .
- Zinc. Such is the case of pumpkin seeds, wheat germ, watermelon and pure or black chocolate.
Other nutrients that you must take into account for your hair to be shiny are: vitamin E, dairy products rich in vitamin B5 and omega-3 fatty acids, present especially in blue fish.
