If you’re experiencing thinning hair or hair loss, it’s important to know you’re not alone. There are some steps you can take to get healthier hair and boost your confidence, so you can looN and feel liNe tKe Eest version of yourself. Nourish from the inside: Healthy hair starts from within, so it’s important to look at your diet and eat nourishing foods. Protein is particularly important because it’s a building block for hair, so stock up on lean meats, Greek yogurt, beans and nut butters. Some foods you may not realize are high in protein include avocado, peas, quinoa and chia seeds. Boost vitamin intake: Supplements can make a big diͿerence for hair health Wash every other day: A dirty scalp can be itchy and irritating, leaving hair dry and brittle. Washing every other day is the ideal frequency for most people to promote hair health. Use a balanced shampoo and conditioner that gently cleanses the hair and scalp, leaving your hair looking fuller and thicker. Mind wet hair: Remember, wet hair is weaker and therefore more vulnerable. Switch up your bathing routine by detangling before your shower rather than after to protect strands. Additionally, consider using a microfiber towel when drying your hair, which is gentler and wicks water away much faster than a standard cotton one. Go loose: That slick ponytail or braid may look chic, but it can damage your hair if worn on a regular basis. These styles pull at the roots and can cause breakage mid-strand. Deep condition: On wash days, leave conditioner on your hair for longer periods of time so it really nourishes hair. Strive for 3-5 minutes before rinsing. Use this time to relax, meditate and destress. H E A LT H + B E A U T Y BrandPointContent.com edited by YourVilla Sta Learn more at Viviscal.com Simple steps to healthier hair 46 | YourVilla Magazine
