foods for thought

take care of your body, take care of your hair with the foods you eat!
according to WebMD, these are the top ten foods for a gorgeous head of hair
salmon
dark greens such a spinach
beans
eggs
poultry
nuts
oysters (ew)
low fat dairy
carrots
wholegrains
seems easy to follow right? your hair is mostly made of keratin, a protein also found in nails, so obviously i recommend getting enough protein! how can you grow a protein if you arent eating enough of it to replace the source? you can find lipids in you hair too, when i started eating nut butters, i noticed a HUGE difference. my hair is very course, not so soft, but when i added nuts to my diet during recovery, i noticed that my hair is significantly smoother and who wouldnt want that? (;

oh and dont just worry about your locks! your hair starts at the scalp.
healthy scalp = healthy hair!

get enough b-6 and sulfur
you can find them in:
cabbage
fish
onions
cucumbers
sweet potatoes
wheat germ
the list goes on!

try avoiding a lot of fried foods, but i think thats pretty obvious (:

try these suggestions out and see if you can tell a difference!
