Holistic Hair Care Routine To Nourish Your Hair from the Inside Out

Hair care is an essential routine for both men and women. Everyone wants healthy and nourished hair but only washing hair isn’t enough, hair care requires proper grooming and using the right products that suit your hair type. Hair also reveals your overall health. Healthy hair means good health and hair that is frizzy and dry in nature means your body is not healthy enough, so you may try changing your diet and lifestyle.

Maintaining a healthy scalp is equally important. Just like other parts of skin, scalp also produces natural oil called sebum it protects your scalp from infection but if too much sebum is produced it gets stored and can lead to greasy scalp causing infection like ringworm and even headlice, it is essential to wash your scalp thoroughly to avoid bad odour, infection, itching, and greasiness therefore a healthy hair care routine is necessary. Creating a holistic hair care routine is not just about the products you use externally but also focusing on the internal factors.

Phimedy has researched a comprehensive study to keep your hair healthy, nourished and strong. Here are few of them:

1. Maintain a Nutrient-rich Diet
   

• The first step for healthy hair is maintaining a healthy diet.
• Ensure your meals consist of a good amount of vitamins, proteins and minerals.
• Intake food products like spinach, greek yoghurt, sweet potato, cinnamon, eggs, oysters. These food products will improve the texture, growth, and blood flow.
• Make sure that your diet intake includes vitamin A, C, D, E, biotin, and zinc for healthy hair growth.

2. Stay Hydrated
   

• Much like a plant, hair also needs water to stay hydrated. Water is a key element for hair growth.
• Hair needs moisture to grow but if the required amount of moisture is not acquired then it will lead to hair damage.
• Drinking an adequate amount of water can prevent hair problems like itchiness, brittle hair, dandruff, etc.
• Drink at least 8 glasses of water is a must and also incorporate hydrating food items like watermelon, cucumbers, and oranges into your diet.

3. Manage Stress
   

• Stress can affect your overall health including hair as well.
• Practice stress management techniques like medication, yoga, deep breathing exercises to reduce stress.
• Stress weakens the shaft of hair resulting in split ends.
• Get enough amount of sleep as it rejuvenates hair growth

4. Standard Trims
   

• Trim often as it initiates healthy hair growth and cuts apart the damaged hair giving a bouncier appearance.
• Trimming hair also promotes improved hair texture resulting in smoother and softer hair.
• It also ensures that hair looks well-maintained and fresh.
• Trimming hair on a regular basis reduces tangling and breakage of hair.

5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
   

• Sulphates:- Sulphates are harsh chemicals that strip off natural oils from your hair and scalp, leaving dryness, irritation, and flaking behind.
• Parabens:- This chemical is widely used in products to prolong their shelf life but at the same time it is one of the most harmful chemical that can affect your natural hormone balance and cause skin infection.

• Polyethylene Glycols:- It is used as a thickener in most of the hair products but at the same time it is a harmful chemical and can lead to hair damage.

• Triclosan:- This chemical is banned from using in antibacterial soaps but is used in products like toothpaste, shampoos, deodorants and more. Triclosan can lead to potential health risks.
