Restore glossy hair with a healthy diet

A full, glossy head of hair is on a lot of our wishlists, and now it appears that alongside using a hair loss treatment, eating healthily can prevent our barnet looking thin and stringy.
Glenn Lyons, clinical director and senior trichological consultant at the Philip Kingsley Tricology Clinic in London, told the Daily Mail that our hair is a "barometer" of our general health.
"Hair loss is a much more widespread problem for women of all ages than anyone realises. There are several factors that can cause it," he explained.
"If a person is anaemic or their nutrition is not correct, that will affect the whole of the head. The crown is an area where women can show thinning for genetic reasons, too, or because of stress."
Mr Lyons noted that diet has a huge impact on our tresses, but it is important to eat balanced meals and not skip a food group.
"Protein is very important for the growth of hair cells [and] good quality carbohydrates such as whole grains are also very helpful for hair to provide the energy that the cells need to grow. Getting enough iron is essential, too. Good fats are as good for hair as they are for the body. We can’t live without them," he commented.
Our hair grows fast compared to other cells, but if we are not getting enough good nutrition, our body will decide that hair cells are non-essential and will divert nutrients to other areas, so the downside of being on a diet is that your mane could end up looking dull and lank.
Try using an organic shampoo to give your tresses bounce and life, and conditioning it every time you wash your hair.
You could also indulge in a deep treatment, such as Fushi’s Really Good Hair Oil, which contains avocado oil, argan oil and jasmine to restore your tresses back to their luxuriant best.

- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021I have acne. I have been using jojoba oil only but I noticed my face is sometimes dry. If I add carrot oil will it help moisturize my face and clear the spots or should I join argan oil to the mix?
- Ashwagandha Dosage for AnxietyFeb 04, 2021I found a supplement that is 500 mg, 120 Count. Do you recommend taking 1 capsule daily? or 2 capsules? I also take thyroid medication and an SSRI among other things.
- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenFeb 04, 2021Hello Dia, Thank you for your comment. Research is confusing when it comes to testosterone levels with PCOS and using Ashwagandha. As it is an adaptogenic herb, it will 'adapt' to the environment of the body to support hormonal balance. A huge therapeutic benefit of Ashwagandha is its ability to balance cortisol levels, which could improve stress and symptoms of PCOS also. If you are currently using any medications or under medical supervision, please seek advice from your practitioner to ensure there are no interactions. I hope this helps :)

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 20, 2021Hi Simie, thank you for your message. Ashwagandha is safe to be taken alongside other supplements including Vitamin E and Calcium. We would advise you check with your GP for interactions with estrogen medications for menopause as there are different variations of these medications. I hope this helps :)
