Healthy Hair For The Big Day

Diet has a significant impact on your hair. Conditioning and looking after your hair is vital however the food and drink you put in to your body can effect how your hair looks, feels and grows.

Hair should grow on average 1 inch every month, however many women have the same problem of not seeing results.
Regular hair cuts do make a difference, try having half an inch off every three months if you really want it to grow. Getting too much cut off is simply cutting away what you have grown. The stronger your hair is, the better it will look. Split ends cause breakage and without any trims, hair will break off and you will not see growing results.

Daily use of hair straightening and heat products need to be cut down to see results. Turn down the heat on your hair dryer and let it dry naturally every now and then. Always apply a great hair serum and use a wide tooth comb to prevent pulling out hair with a harsh brittle hair brush.

First things first, diet is essential to your hair. Our hair is made up 5% of water and 95% protein. One of the best things for your hair and body is water. Drink as much water as you can, try and drink more and start today!

Lean meat

Lean cuts of beef or poultry provide great sources of protein. As our hair is mostly protein, food high in protein will really make a difference.

Salmon

Rich in protein and vitamin D, the omega-3 fatty acids are so beneficial. Your body can’t make those fatty acids, which your body needs to grow hair.

Eggs

Packed with protein, eggs contain four main minerals, zinc, selenium, sulphur, and iron. Iron helps cells carry oxygen to the hair follicles. Instead of frying an egg, save those calories and poach in a pan of boiling water and few spoonfuls of vinegar,this will prevent the egg from breaking.

Sweet Potatoes

Vitamin A helps protect and produce the oils that sustain your scalp. Sweet potatoes contain antioxidant beta carotene, which your body turns into vitamin A.

Spinach

Rich dark, leafy vegetables contain iron, beta carotene, folate, and vitamin C. These are great for your scalp and hair follicles.

Walnuts

Walnuts have a significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids. They’re rich in biotin and vitamin E, which helps protect your cells from DNA damage.

Greek Yoghurt

Greek yoghurt is high in protein, vitamin B5 and vitamin D. Go for the low-fat option and mix with fruit for a healthy snack.

Blueberries

Vitamin C is critical for circulation to the scalp and supports the tiny blood vessels that feed the follicles. Strawberries, kiwis, sweet potatoes and tomatoes are also great alternatives.

Along with drinking plenty of water and eating a healthy diet, suppliments are great to take too.
