Hormones
This is something that most people are completely unaware of. Hormones significantly affect your overall health, as well as your hair. They are not something you have complete control over, but many people are surprised to find just how much control they do have over hormones. The two easiest ways to balance your hormones are to eliminate stress and get enough sleep. This is obviously easier written than done, but if hair and overall health really matter to you, then it’s worth a shot. Sleep needs to be given priority over other activities and things that cause stress need to be eliminated or moderated.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil can be the ultimate revitalizer. Many people do not realize just how many benefits it contains, specifically when it comes to hair. If you were to look at the ingredients list to a lot of natural hair products, coconut oil is often one of the first ones. The problem is that a lot of the hair products that most people use to look good for a single day actually cause a lot of long-term damage to their hair. Sure, that extremely powerful gel might give your hair just the look you wanted for today, but continued use will likely start giving your hair a dead flat look as it struggles to maintain healthy growth.
Fake it
One way people are discovering to give themselves the look they want without damaging their hair is something called hair extensions. These are exactly what they sound like and they actually work to improve the overall look of your hair. You can get real hair from donations, or purchase synthetic extensions that are made to look just like real hair. The perk of extensions is that no damage is done to your hair, and if you do not like the look somewhere down the road you can change it overnight. While these are not a long-term fix, many people are using them because they like being able to change their hairstyle overnight.
Proper eating
Remember all of those times growing up when you were told to eat your vegetables? Turns out that was real. Eating the right foods actually has a significant impact on how healthy your hair looks. The two biggest vitamins that are contributors to healthy hair growth are Vitamin C and Biotin. As crazy as it sounds, spinach is actually a huge producer of Vitamin C. But don’t worry, if you are not a fan of spinach there are also plenty of citrus fruits that produce nearly the same levels. Something as easy as drinking orange juice with your breakfast in the morning can yield great results. There are plenty of other ways to dramatically improve your hair, but many are unhealthy in the long run and are expensive to do. These solutions have been proven to work and they are easy to implement. The best part is that they also will provide other benefits to your body and health.
