Healthier Hair: 5 simple hair care ingredients to boost luxurious locks
Shona Wilkinson, Nutrigums expert nutritionist explains five simple hair care ingredients to ensure we wear our hair with pride:
1. Biotin
Keratin is the key structural material that makes up our hair, nails and skin and biotin help to improve the infrastructure of Keratin. Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin, which means our bodies do not store it. This means we must consume it regularly to maintain its levels.
Biotin rich foods such as egg yolks, sunflower seeds and nuts, or sweet potatoes and bananas are all ways you can naturally get biotin into your system which boasts restorative properties including improving the strength and thickness of your hair.
2. Zinc
Zinc deficiency is more common than you might think with older people and pregnant women amongst the affected categories. Pregnant women need more zinc than usual because the zinc in their body is needed to help the developing baby. Likewise, the bioavailability of zinc is lower in vegetarian and vegan foods, so people following these diets may risk running low on zinc.
This is an essential vitamin found in every cell in the body – including hair follicles. So, it is important to keep levels balanced as it can affect hair loss otherwise. Seafood and other meats are a good source of zinc for non-vegetarians, whereas high protein foods such as nuts and beans are good for a plant-based diet.
High-protein dairy foods also contain zinc and milk, yoghurt and cheese are considered high-quality protein-heavy foods which contain all essential amino acids your body requires.
3. Iron
An iron deficiency such as anaemia can lead to brittle hair and nails, so boosting your intake via consuming red meats, dark and leafy greens such as Spinach as well as Iron is dried fruits such as raisins and apricots can support your absorption of Iron. If you do decide to exclude meat from your diet, then this may have an adverse effect on your hair and supplements can help when it comes to rebuilding hair strengthening properties.
Try an everyday plant-based and fibrous hair supplement like the Nutrigums Hair Vitamin Complex that has a combination of all the essential hair vitamins to target problematic areas and unleash the true power of your hair.
4. Vitamin E
Vitamin E is crucial to support a healthy scalp and nourish the hair follicles. Found naturally in almonds, avocados, and leafy greens, it can help boost hair growth with its conditioning effects. For those using heat and styling products on their hair this can damage it, but vitamin E rich foods and oils can support shine restoration. You can also buy shampoos and conditioners that are vitamin E fortified.
The vitamin’s antioxidant properties also help to reduce the amount of oxidative stress and free radicals that cause the hair follicle cells in a person’s scalp to break down, causing hair loss and ageing.
5. Vitamin B & C
Folic acid, otherwise known as vitamin B, supports healthy cell growth and is responsible for keeping the red blood cells in your body healthy. Those suffering from anaemia and fatigue are also usually low in vitamin B and therefore may suffer dull and thinning hair as a result, so should consider supporting their diet with an everyday supplement.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that supports our overall health, it helps to reduce oxidation. Like vitamin E, vitamin C helps reduce oxidative stress, something which can influence the shedding of hair. Praised for its anti-ageing and brightening benefits, vitamin C is also involved in the production of collagen, which helps rebuild the keratin that makes up your hair, skin, and nails.
