Catherine is very passionate about Healthy hair and can help you to achieve your hair goals for this year.
“We are seeing more and more cases of hair shed, thinning hair, scalp irritation and even the hair texture changing and becoming brittle”
1. Shampooing
While shampooing, concentrate on the scalp, a clean healthy scalp helps to cultivate healthier hair growth.
Don’t be afraid to shampoo too often, as long as it’s a good shampoo even every day is perfectly ok!
2. Scalp
If you suffer with an irritated scalp, try to avoid leaving you hair wet. This can breed bacteria creating inflammation while suppressing growth.
3. The condition
Use a good shampoo and conditioner. In the long run it will really help your hair to look its best. Our hair behaves differently as the seasons change, one minutes it’s smooth and the next it’s frizzy. It’s easy to go straight for the nearest frizz control solution you see but it might not be what you’re hair needs. A continuous consultation and hair assessment is the best way to know exactly what your hair needs
4. Styling products & styling
Ever wondered why there are so many to choose from? So many of these products do the same thing but the composition of each works differently on different hair types. Products can also come with a big price tag so getting the right ones for your hair type is important.
5. Vitamin B
Did you know that B-vitamins are key to promoting fuller, healthier hair? They play an essential role in helping your body produce red blood cells, which carry oxygen and vital nutrients to the scalp and hair follicles -crucial for hair growth!
You can find B-vitamins in a variety of foods, such as almonds, fish, whole grains, and leaty greens.
The best source of vitamin B12, in particular, comes from animal-based foods. So, if you’re following a vegan or vegetarian diet, it’s important to consider adding a B12 supplement to your routine to ensure you’re getting enough of this essential nutrient.
6. Vitamin C
This antioxidant fights off free radicals that can slow down hair growth. Vitamin C helps your body produce collagen for stronger strands, and boosts iron absorption-a must for healthy, vibrant hair.
Incorporate Vitamin C-rich foods like strawberries, peppers, and citrus into your diet to supercharge your hair growth journey!
7. Get your vitamin D
Most of us have a vitamin D deficiency and Vitamin D is very important for optimum hair growth. As we don’t product enough Vitamin D from the sun, taking a supplement is a good idea.
8. Keep hydrated
Water is the number one moisturizer. Just like every other part of an organism, a living thing, our hair needs water to function effectively.
9. Get your iron levels checked
If you are not getting enough iron through your diet this can cause excessive hair shed. You may also find that the hair won’t grow past a certain length. It’s a good idea to get blood tests to check your iron storage before taking supplements because this could have the adverse effect!
10. Get regular trims
The hair growth cycle means our strands are all growing independently and at slightly different times. Keeping the ends sharpened every six weeks helps hair look healthier, thicker and fuller. It also keeps those split ends at bay meaning you’ll see the extra growth rather than it breaking off.
