To the hair grow well, were beautiful and shiny, you need to take vitamins. But what vitamins for hair growth are needed and can they be allowed to overabundance? This we will now tell.
What does the hair consist of?
Each hair on your head is a fiber that has become corroded, because it is so dense. An interesting fact: a thin hair is much stronger than a thick hair. That is, the hair of blondes, as a rule, is thinner than the hair of brunettes. This is because the thinner the hair, the more dense the consistency: its scales are more dense than the thicker but friable hair.
These scales can open and open and absorb what is on the hair. This is explained by the fact that the scales protect the hair from external factors.
Scales have this feature: when they get acidic water, they fold up and press against each other. On the outer level it looks like shiny beautiful hair.
Our grandmothers knew about this and rinsed her hair with water with drops of vinegar or lemon juice. We can also do the same, making the hair healthier and more beautiful.
If the hair is rinsed with alkaline water (the grandmothers did this as an infusion of ashes, and we are accustomed to using shampoos), the flakes become hairy, unfold, and the hair can look fluffy, and the hairs themselves become thicker.
Hair health: what to do?
First of all, feed the hair follicle. That is - its root. It is on the health of the follicle that flexibility, plasticity and hair growth depends. And he needs fats, vitamins and proteins. Otherwise, the hair will be dull, will quickly break down and slowly grow.
If the sebaceous glands produce a lot of fat, the hair quickly becomes dirty and has an unsightly appearance. Therefore, you need to clearly balance the diet so that it contains all the substances necessary for you.
If you find brittle hair
Go to the trichologist or dermatologist, who will examine your hair and determine what substances you lack in the body.
If this is not a harmful effect of medications that can badly affect the health of hair, it is worth considering and taking urgent measures.
The cause of unhealthy hair can be an excess of sweet rolls, sweet fruits such as grapes or bananas in the diet, as well as cakes. They are called fast carbohydrates. These substances are rapidly absorbed and quickly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. But the big does not bring much benefit, saturating the body with harmful fats.
To saturate the body with useful fats, include in the diet better fish of oceanic varieties such as trout. You will get vitamins and trace elements necessary for hair growth.
Which are better to choose vitamins for hair growth?
Vitamins for hair growth must contain vitamins A, B, C, as well as iodine, zinc and selenium. Remember that vitamins have the property to stimulate metabolic processes in the body and positively influence the work of all its organs and systems.
If the body lacks vitamins, then hair, nails and skin, like a mirror, are the first to show it. Carefully observe their signals and draw conclusions.
If the hair is thick, shiny, plastic, beautiful, you have no cause for concern. Take vitamins for prevention.
If the hair is brittle, dull, split, consult a doctor for advice to buy vitamins for hair growth. And be healthy and happy!
