The doctor listed the habits that have a bad effect on the health and appearance of hair.
To understand whether it is time for you personally to pay attention to your hair, take a small test. Right now, run your hand through your hair to the ends. Now look at the hand. Does she have hair left? Count the hairs. If there are a little more than 3-5, then everything is fine. If there is more hair left in the hand, this is a symptom that something is wrong.
"One of the bad habits for our hair is ignoring protein in food. Keratin is a protein. Building material is needed to renew hair (like any other cells). Protein is the base. The daily norm is 1 g of protein for every kg of your weight. At a weight of 65 kg, you need to eat 250 g of cheese, 300 g of cottage cheese or 300 g of beans every day. Hardly anyone eats that much," says the expert.
Be sure to analyze your diet for the presence of protein sources in it, both animal and vegetable (meat, fish, eggs, legumes, cheese, cottage cheese).
The second bad habit also applies to nutrition - ignoring trace elements. Almost everyone is deficient in zinc, iron, silicon, sulfur, and selenium. It is difficult to fill them with food, you need to add natural vitamins and nutrients.
The third habit is to wash your head with too hot water. It excessively activates the sebaceous glands, as a result the hair quickly becomes greasy and looks unkempt. Wash your head with water at room temperature.
The fourth is the frequent use of means for fixation. They contain many harmful components (perfumes, silicones). They can cause allergic reactions.
The fifth is staying in rooms with dry air. Control the level of humidity at home and at work. If necessary, buy a humidifier. It is useful not only for hair, but also for skin and respiratory organs.
The sixth is the habit of tying a tight tail and other tight hairstyles. Due to such actions, the bulbs become too tense, then weaken. It is especially important to abandon this habit for those with long hair.
And remember that genetics is not the only thing that matters. Harmful habits can spoil even the most successful inheritance.
