- Eat a balanced diet your hair loves healthy food rich in plenty of essential fats, carbohydrates, protein and fresh fruit and vegetables. For essential fats, go for oily fish and vegetable oils. With carbohydrates opt for whole-wheat options (bread, pasta), pulses and brown rice. On the protein, front try to avoid red meat – substitute it with fish, chicken, eggs and nuts instead.
- Drink lots of water and minimise the amount of alcohol you drink as this dehydrates you.
- Remember hair loves Vitamins B, C and E, GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid) and the minerals zinc and selenium. Make sure you’re getting plenty of these in your balanced diet, take a supplement.
Adjust your regime to rehydrate your hair
