Healthy hair diet and tips to get shiny and thick lustrous hair

There are two parts to ensuring that your hair becomes healthy and shiny. The first involves ensuring that your new growth of hair is healthy and normal and the second requires that you condition your existing hair for a lustrous look. Ensuring that the new growth of hair that you have is in good condition requires that your diet is proper as malnourishment and weight loss are major contributors to hair loss and rough hair.

Let is first understand the dietary component. A good diet is very important, not just for your hair but for every single cell in your body. A bad or a deficient diet is a known contributor for lackluster hair and even hair breakage. The first task is to ensure that you are the correct weight for your height. You might have to do some research on the internet to figure out exactly what is your optimum weight but once you do figure it out, set a target to increase or reduce your weight to that level. Generally, if you are between five feet and three inches and six feet tall, your weight should be between a hundred and ten to a hundred and thirty pounds heavy. This should be an adequate marker for you to decide whether you need to increase your body weight. However, whether you have to increase or decrease your food intake, one change that you will have to make is to ensure that your food is healthier and this means eating lots of vegetables, salads and limiting the intake of meat to a bare minimum. It is also necessary that you change your cooking medium to olive oil or plant based oils. This can also be supplemented by the intake of multivitamins as these ensure that you are healthy. This will start to take immediate effect on the new hair growth. This is important to understand; changes to the hair will only take place to the new hair that is growing and not the existing hair that has already grown.

For making changes to the hair that has already grown, you might have to enlist the expertise of a hair stylist. This is because the reconstruction of hair requires certain specialized conditioners to be used. The first type of conditioner that has to be used is a reconstructor. This conditioner works by rebuilding the polymer structure of the hair, then the use of a hair tightening conditioner will also be required to give the hair a shine. On your front, at this point, all you need to do is proper hair care and ensure that your hair is protected from dust and dirt and also ensure that you protect it from mechanical damage like harsh combing, tightly tying buns, etc.
