A few healthy tips!

Regularly participating in a healthy diet is the most important aspect of healthy hair. After all, your body provides the nutrients your hair needs to thrive. The products you use are also very important as they are in such close contact with your hair. Anyone can achieve healthy hair easily with consistency.

Diet
1. The way you eat is very closely related to the health of your hair. Hair's main content is protein. Eating a diet rich in proteins is a great way to keep your hair strong and avoid breakage. Meats, nuts, soy and dairy all contain great amounts of protein. In addition, drinking plenty of water is a very important aspect of your hair's health. It detoxifies all impurities from your body and hair, reducing clogged hair follicles.
Products
2. Pay attention to the products you use on your hair. It's best to use a bristle brush rather than a comb to avoid hair breakage. In addition, your shampoo and conditioner are vital to your hair's health. Natural products are ideal as they do not contain preservatives and sulfates that clog hair follicles and inhibit the production of natural oils.
Washing and Conditioning
3. You hair's natural oils provide much needed moisture and nutrients to your hair. Washing your hair every day prevents natural oils from dispersing throughout your hair, causing it to become brittle and weak. It's best to wash your hair only three or four times a week. In addition, a bi-weekly deep conditioning treatment will keep your hair properly hydrated
