It is said that you can gauge a woman’s personality by the way she wears her hair. Hair is a very essential part of our personality. A good hairstyle or hair cut can make you look a lot younger than your age. It can chop off years from your face. However, you need to take good care of your hair. Dirty and unhealthy hair are a complete turn off.
The health of your hair depends on various factors and one of them is your diet. A healthy diet rich in proteins and vitamins is the key to healthy hair. Our hair derives its strength from the hair follicles which are rooted deep inside the scalp skin.
When these follicles are surrounded by rich blood carrying cells, your hair gets nourishment and grows healthy. But when these follicles do not have rich blood flowing around them, they become weak and eventually fall out.
Oxygen rich blood cells that are full of irons, proteins and vitamins are like food for your mane. If you don’t feed your hair properly, you end up with poor quality of hair. If you have ignored the health of your hair then it is time to start caring for it. Include fresh fruits and vegetables and loads of water in your diet.
