To show off perfectly healthy hair, a multitasking strategy is necessary, which we will explain here. Finding an excellent hairdresser is like finding a treasure:
Hair says a lot about us and that is why it requires special care and expert hands. There are, however, moments in life - and in the year - in which our hair seems "suffering" because it is weak, dull and lacking in volume. If using shampoo, conditioner and ad hoc masks is essential, these products, alone, may not be enough. Don't panic: there is a solution (or rather, more solutions!) that we will tell you about here. Follow these simple tips to give your hair an energy boost!
Hair dryer and straightener: instructions for use
Those with thick, long hair know it well: a hair dryer is (almost always) a must. Experts recommend drying the lengths naturally, but those who live in the city and do not live in the tropics cannot afford to follow this beauty tip all year round. There is, however, a secret to not ruining your hair: simply keep the hair dryer at a distance of no less than 25 centimeters so as not to expose your hair to high temperatures that can make it more fragile and dull. The same goes for the straightener: use it only if it is really essential.
Being in the sun is nice, but not for your hair
It's good for your mood and, if taken wisely and with the right protection, also for your skin. But not for your hair: the sun makes it duller and drier. When the mercury rises, never give up a protective and nourishing spray, especially if you spend the day at the beach or by the pool. Speaking of the pool; chlorine, like salt water, can fade the color and weaken your hair. Don't forget to put protective oils and sprays and ad hoc cleansers in your beauty case: these are small precautions that can really make a difference.
Lots and lots of pampering for your scalp
Key word: massage. For example, when you are in the shower, to optimize time. The benefit is immediate: thanks to a delicate but at the same time firm massage of the scalp, the blood circulation towards the hair follicles improves instantly.
Our beauty tip: use a regenerating and revitalizing essential oil to make the pampering even more special!
Have you tried these tips yet? Remember that to have truly healthy and strong hair it is essential to review your diet. Below we recommend a real “hair diet” that is easy to follow and customizable. Here is what you can't miss on your table!
Iron, Zinc, Vitamin C, Biotin and Fatty Acids
This is an important mix: each of these substances, in fact, has a specific function. For example, iron can help combat hair loss – in general, a deficiency of this element can be among the causes of effluvium.
What to eat: Meat, eggs and nuts.
Biotin, on the other hand, is involved in the keratin formation process and helps make hair less fragile.
What to eat : Calf liver, egg yolk, cow's milk, cheese, nuts, wheat, brown rice, peas, carrots, lentils, lettuce, cauliflower, and mushrooms.
Like vitamin C, zinc also has an antioxidant effect. Plus, it adds shine.
What to eat : liver, lean beef, wheat germ, mushrooms, fish, chocolate.
Finally, silica must also be added to this list, which makes the lengths stronger and thicker.
What to eat: Whole grains, beans, fruits, and nuts.
Strengthen your hair now to be ready for summer
And here we are with the last piece of advice: better not to waste time and immediately prepare a strategy in view of the hottest season. An ad hoc diet is the first step but it is good to help yourself with supplements rich in the substances already mentioned to be included as soon as possible in your beauty routine. Try it: you will immediately notice stronger and more beautiful hair!
