Super Foods for HEALthy Hair...
We’ve heard it time and time again “You Are What You Eat” when it pertains to gaining/losing weight or trying to maintain good health/wellness too. This phrase also, of course is fitting for when it comes to growing and keeping healthy hair.
Some of those same essential foods benefits the hair. A lack of important nutrients like vitamins A, C, D and E, iron, biotin, B vitamins, zinc, protein and essential fatty acids according to experts (and known from personal experience) will slow down hair growth or even cause hair loss. Therefore, a well balanced diet is encouraged.
See the list of foods below by Healthline “...Best Foods For Healthy Hair...” that we recommend to be beneficial. Start adding them into your daily diet and see the change in your hair...hair will have more luster, fullness, strength, etc. In conjunction with a healthy haircare routine and maintenance products (The Revive & Retain Ultimate Haircare System) results are more promising.
