Hair isn't just thread like pro­jec­tions that grows straight out of our scalp, but it is in­deed our crown of glo­ry that we def­i­nite­ly need to take care of. Our hair to­tal­ly fin­ish­es our dai­ly looks, so let us jour­ney in­to the av­enue of ter­mi­nat­ing bad hair days. Main­tain­ing healthy lus­cious locks goes be­yond te­dious rou­tines of past­ing tons of top­i­cal prod­ucts along our tress­es. Healthy beau­ti­ful hair be­gins with­in. Dai­ly in­take of di­etary sup­ple­ments and the in­clu­sion of fresh veg­eta­bles and fruits are just as or more im­por­tant than over­load­ing our hair with hair emol­lients and con­di­tion­ers. Our body needs to be healthy in or­der for our hair to be healthy.

Rea­son be­ing, hair ob­tains its nour­ish­ment from the root. With­in the root, the hair for­ma­tion takes place at the bulb, which is like a womb if so to speak. The blood sup­ply sur­round­ing the bulb pro­vides nu­tri­ents to pro­mote op­ti­mum growth and healthy hair. This is why scalp ma­nip­u­la­tions and mas­sages are very im­por­tant. When the scalp is stim­u­lat­ed, the blood is cir­cu­lat­ed; it pro­vides nu­tri­ents to the hair and pro­motes hair growth. A prized tip is to hold small por­tions of the hair ap­prox­i­mate­ly one inch away from the scalp and pull up­ward with medi­um ten­sion. Re­peat the process through­out the head; do not use too much ten­sion to pull your strands out of your head. A rhyth­mi­cal cir­cu­lar mo­tion through­out the scalp is al­so a great tech­nique but of course it is more re­lax­ing to have some­one to do it for you.

Wa­ter is an­oth­er cru­cial fac­tor that in­flu­ences the health of hair. Our bod­ies are com­posed of 60 to 70 per­cent of wa­ter. Hair are like plants that needs to be wa­tered dai­ly. The rec­om­mend­ed con­sump­tion of wa­ter isn't just 8 glass­es of wa­ter a day, but half of our body weight in ounces of wa­ter and a bit more if you are re­sid­ing in an ex­treme­ly hot cli­mate. Some es­sen­tial sup­ple­ments that aids in the longevi­ty of our hair are vi­t­a­min Bs, Ds, omega 3s just to name a few. Quick fix rou­tines are tem­po­rary, not per­ma­nent. These tips are most ben­e­fi­cial when it is fash­ioned as a lifestyle and not a fad and you will see no­tice­able im­prove­ments.
