Biotin: the “beauty vitamin” autumn ally
Summer is over and the worst phase of the year begins for hair. Among the best nutrients, useful for regaining the beauty and health of your hair, there is biotin, also known as vitamin H, vitamin B7 or vitamin B8. Let's find out its use together.
After the summer, it often happens that you find your hair “emptied”, that you are unable to obtain the desired volume, that you lose more hair than expected and that the remaining hair feels thinner, finer and more damaged.
As we know, this is due to physiological events that are both cyclical and natural, to which we must add the consequences of attacks of wind, salt, sand and summer sun. This can only create a certain anxiety (even more than that of returning!), especially since the newly found city pollution certainly cannot improve the situation... For this reason, it is always better to take cover as soon as possible. Here's how.
The autumn hair care kit
Delicate shampoo, restructuring conditioner and nourishing mask are 3 very valid aids for the well-being of the hair, for the maintenance of a healthy and structured hair and for the strengthening of the shaft and the hair fiber. Unfortunately, even if this would seem to be the perfect survival kit for the care of the head, in the autumn period very often it is not enough. This is because the action of the classic "trio" is unfortunately limited in time. Here are the ingredients that contribute to maintaining beauty from the inside.
The reasons for a winning choice
One of the fundamental substances for the care of our hair is biotin. This vitamin intervenes in the formation of keratin: the protein that makes up the hair. Keratin is able to strengthen the hair fiber by “closing” the scales that form in its most external part: the cuticle.
But there's more! Biotin helps restore the lipid balance of the scalp. Sometimes you may feel itchy or see a slight flaking, which is particularly common after the summer and is particularly uncomfortable. All the more reason to try taking biotin, don't you think?
How and for how long to take biotin
Biotin is mainly known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H or vitamin B8 and is part of those water-soluble nutrients that cannot be accumulated by our body because they are expelled daily through urine. This is why it is important to take it every day with protein foods such as meat, eggs and dairy products. You can also ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice on using a supplement such as a food supplement .
Caution: It is always good to keep in mind that supplements should never be considered as substitutes for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
