Healthy Diet = Healthy Hair (#1 tip)
People see my hair and say, “What healthy hair and curls you have.” Little do they know it takes me a lot of time for my curls to look healthy and frizz free! I constantly check on my curls like they’re my stock portfolio…lol
I make sure my hair gets the right nutrition from water, vitamins, healthy diet, exercise and so on. I would rather drink more water and research how to keep my curls healthy while I sit in front of my laptop than exercise! Just making those small lifestyle changes my hair feels stronger and looks healthier!
Right now, for vitamins I take Nature’s Bounty hair, skin, and nails, vitamin pills with biotin. I have taken biotin before then just forgot about it and started taking it again now that I am 44 and noticing my hair is thinning. Since I have taken it, I have noticed that my hair seems stronger and doesn’t look as thin. I take them at night around 7pm with water and a light meal.
As I said vitamins plus a healthy diet might do wonders for your hair. Incorporating salads or veggies into a meal helps your hair with getting nutrients into your body. Plus having salads or veggies might help with portions by filling your stomach with healthier alternatives and you could possibly lose weight too! #yay Who wouldn’t want that?! That’s a whole other topic..lol
