You never get a second chance to make a first impression. How your hair is upkept and presented can be one of the first things someone might notice, so you want it to look its best, well-groomed, and healthiest. It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to ace that job interview or look tres chic on that blind date, thicker and fuller hair can help you look your best during either. But like so many other things in life, the misconceptions always seem to cloud reality. So, here’s a list of facts to help you achieve the hair you’ve always wanted.
Eat healthy
Your mother always said “you are what you eat.” And well, mother knows best. One of the major factors in hair health is your diet. Health experts recommend two servings of fish a week for maintaining a healthy heart, but this also applies to your hair as well. Fatty Acids and Omega 3’s (which fish have a lot of) are very beneficial for hair health, so adding nutrition to your diet can make a noticeable difference.
Hair products with natural ingredients
Just like eating too many overly processed foods, shampoos with too many acidic properties can be harmful. The best ways to maintain healthier looking hair are natural ingredients. Consult your stylist if you’re unsure what’s best for you.
Exercise
Getting out of your chair and hitting the gym isn’t just helping you get that six-pack—it’s making your hair grow a little bit healthier. It’s quite simple, any exercise promotes circulation of the blood. This in turn will help your help circulate to your hair follicles which promote healthier hair.
Less heat, more hair
Some things in life are unfortunately unavoidable and the summer sun happens to be one of them. While it might be hard to abstain completely from the heat, making a considerable effort will help you avoid breakage that the sun causes. It’s also good to exercise caution when using a straightening iron or hair dryer, excessive use can cause a considerable amount of damage.
