4 essential vitamins for healthy hair
Each of us wants to have beautiful and well-groomed hair, but we must be aware that not only its color, hairstyle or haircut are important, but especially how healthy it is. Although we use more and more styling products to give the hair its desired look, in many cases we only mask the real problems we face, such as: brittle and damaged hair, dandruff, hair loss, excess sebum of the scalp etc.
Here are the vitamins that play the most important role in maintaining hair:
1. Vitamin A
A deficiency of this vitamin is seen in dry, thin hair with a predisposition to dandruff. All these symptoms will implicitly cause hair loss. But be careful! Vitamin A is responsible for the production of sebum, so it should not be consumed in excess. If you make sure you eat vitamin A-rich foods daily, you should not take any nutritional supplements. Among the foods high in vitamin A, we list: oranges, carrots, mango, pumpkin. If you smoke or take an aspirin-based treatment, your absorption of vitamin A may be prevented.
2. Vitamin B
We are talking here about vitamin B12 from the existing B complex. B12 creates red blood cells, nourishing the hair follicles with nutrients and oxygen. This way, your hair will grow faster and healthier. Vitamin B prevents hair loss. You can find it in potatoes, bananas, beans, lentils, peas, cereals.
3. Vitamin C
If you regret that you have dyed your hair a too dark shade, you can use Vitamin C for bleaching. Mix a few tablets of vitamin C with a sufficient amount of shampoo, two tablespoons of conditioner, mix and apply on hair. Leave the mixture to act for about an hour under a plastic shower cap and then wash your hair. The effect will be instant.
Daily intake of vitamin C will combat hair loss. In addition, the antioxidants contained will give shine to the natural color.
Oranges, kiwis, red peppers are great sources of vitamin C.
3. Vitamin E
Vitamin E increases the absorption of oxygen in the scalp, thus reducing excess sebum. Eat cereal, almonds, corn oils, soy or sunflower for an optimal intake of vitamin E. Applied with your favorite hair oil, it forms a protective layer.
