Lifestyle Changes to Improve Hair Health

Sometimes you can get lucky and have a beautiful head of hair without much effort. However, for others, keeping your hair in top condition isn’t that easy.

There are routine things you should consider doing to keep your hair in its best condition, like making some lifestyle changes and caring for your hair as best you can. Let’s look at what can be done.

Hair Care Tips

Like the rest of your body, your hair must get all the essential vitamins and nutrients. That’s why maintaining the right diet is crucial. A poor diet could lead to nutrient deficiency and result in worse hair overall; eating plenty of fruit and vegetables provides a lot of what you need. 

If you drink alcohol to excess or smoke, you should stop doing this for the sake of your hair health. Your body will be in a worse condition because of this and your hair could pay the price by becoming thinner, along with other health problems. 

You need to get plenty of exercise too to make sure that your body is functioning as it should be and enough blood is being sent to your scalp. Exercise can help you with immunity as well so you stay healthy – remember, an unhealthy body can detriment your hair.

When it comes to treating your hair specifically, avoid using styling products containing harsh chemicals that can damage your hair. Using excessive hair gel or spray can clog the hair follicles and make healthy growth of strong strands less likely. So you don’t irritate your scalp and it stays in good condition, don’t dry your hair aggressively with a towel limit how often you use a hot hair dryer and don’t point it close to your scalp to prevent damaging hair.

Supplemental Help

While all the aforementioned lifestyle changes can contribute towards better hair, it might not mean your hair stays strong and you won’t experience thinning or hair loss – this is where Sons can help.

Introducing more Biotin and other important nutrients to your system can go a long way towards maintaining strong hair health. By consuming the Biotin supplement, you can help increase the amount of keratin your body produces, a protein that helps your skin, hair, and nails stay strong.

If you’ve tried everything and still see signs of hair loss, it might be time to ask Sons about using prescribed medications, like Finasteride and Minoxidil that can be purchased as part of our Duo Plan. As an oral tablet, Finasteride will block the amount of DHT on your scalp while Minoxidil is a topical formula that revitalises the hair follicles for improved growth.

Taking basic steps towards living a healthier life and avoiding harmful habits for the sake of your hair could see your strands not thin out and stay thick. Explore the Sons website for more.
