Hair health lies in these products
Pay attention to foods that contain vitamin B8. This vitamin regulates hair growth, dryness, greasiness, and emotional stress. These foods contain vitamins for hair growth:
- sprouted wheat;
- rice bran;
- oatmeal;
- orange;
- peas;
- peanut;
- grapefruit;
- lentils;
- raisin;
- melon;
- cauliflower;
- carrot;
- peach;
- White cabbage.
You should also add egg yolks to your diet in a reasonable amount.
You also need to take care of a sufficient amount of zinc in the body (liver, pine nuts, peanuts, beef, beans, peas, lamb, pork, wheat, buckwheat, oatmeal, duck, turkey).
Interesting fact about zinc. The highest levels of zinc are found in oysters (if they are fresh) and champagne (good!).
Before you start adjusting your diet and adding what you think is necessary, consult a doctor. After all, a good doctor will first of all send you for tests to determine how much zinc you have in your body, because it is a metal, and also whether you have enough vitamin B8. It is desirable that the entire group of B vitamins be in sufficient quantities in the body. This is the work of the nervous system and other things.
The most beneficial cereal for hair is millet.
It is also worth considering the hardware. Most of it is not in meat, but in thyme and cocoa.
Fish is also important for hair, namely sea fish. It is better to choose fish that is not artificially grown. For example, if the choice is between farmed salmon and sea bass, then it is better to choose perch. Also a good fish is sea coho salmon.
Hair health also depends on the presence of magnesium in the body, which allows us to relax the nervous system. When there is stress, the nerve endings are excited with the vessel, the vessel spasms and the hair feels extremely uncomfortable, and then falls out.
Magnesium can be found in the same animal products and green vegetables and fruits. Greens with meat and fish will be an excellent option for healthy hair.
Combing hair after washing
It is better not to comb clean, wet hair, but if necessary, you can only use a wooden or plastic comb; metal ones should be excluded. It is better to dry your hair naturally; sometimes you can use a warm towel. Long hair should be combed from the ends, moving towards the roots, and short hair should be combed from the roots.
To style your hair and create a hairstyle, it is difficult to do without a hair dryer. With the help of hot air, hair becomes softer and easier to style. Now they have begun to produce hair dryers with cold air, thanks to which you can better fix the modeled hairstyle.

Chinese medicine: what determines the condition of hair
Diagnosis by external signs occupies almost a central place in traditional Chinese medicine. The entire surface of the body is closely connected with the internal organs, and its condition in certain places clearly indicates the health or imbalance of certain organs.
Let's start with the most pressing - from the head.
HAIR ON ONE'S HEAD
The condition of the hair directly depends on the condition of the blood and Essence - a special vital energy that is stored in the Kidneys.
Hair growth depends on the nutrition of the Kidney Essence. If it is sufficient, the hair grows well and has a healthy and shiny appearance. If it is weak or depleted, the hair will be thin, brittle, dull and may break.
The quality and color of the hair also depends on the essence of the Kidneys: if it is (and is still) strong, the hair will be thick and its color will be bright. Otherwise, the hair becomes thinner and gray.
Early graying means severe depletion of the Essence, and at the same time this may already be a signal of a decrease in reproductive capacity: it also directly depends on the condition of the Kidneys.
But the thickness and shine of hair depend on the condition of the Liver. Dullness, brittleness and dry hair indicate a lack of blood, for which the Liver is responsible.
Hair loss also indicates a lack of blood. The stronger the weakening of the Liver, the more hair leaves the head. And it is the Liver that needs to be restored, and not rub something supposedly miraculous into the head, which again the Liver, as the main organ for removing toxins from the body, will have to deal with.
You can, of course, disguise the condition of your hair - this is basically what the entire beauty industry is aimed at. A variety of chemical products are designed to give hair a healthy and shiny look - almost instantly.
However, this is chemistry. And this chemistry is absorbed by the hair and skin and enters the body. And in fact, it turns out that the already weakened Liver, Kidneys and Lungs now have to spend their strength on this problem. As a result, they are weakened even more: the quality of the hair is even worse. A vicious circle that leads far from health.
Well, the conclusion is not new and simple: beauty is also inside.
But this is not all the relationship between hair quality and the condition of the main internal organs.
BODY HAIR
The condition of body hair reflects the condition of the Lungs, since they are the ones that disperse protective Qi (one of the types of energy responsible for the body's resistance to external threats) and fluids throughout the skin and hair.
If your lung function and energy levels are normal, your body hair will be shiny and healthy. And this is also an indicator of a large amount of protective Qi, which in turn provides what is commonly called immunity in Western medicine.
If the Lungs are weakened, the hair on the body receives insufficient nutrition and becomes dull, brittle and dry.
A very sad option is when the hair begins to thin. But this should always be compared with the initial amount of hair in a particular person.
The initial amount of hair indicates the state of the Kidney Essence: the more there are, the stronger the Kidney Essence, and the (by the way!) the higher the reproductive capacity. This is no joke.
Many people are upset that the hair on their body is thick and dense, and they dream that it will become invisible, or even better, completely disappear. And I, as a specialist in traditional Chinese medicine who knows the real relationships in the body, have an almost 100% method for such people: you can “nail” the Lung meridian, weaken it to a minimum - and there will simply be no hair on the body.
True, almost simultaneously there will be no immunity (which also depends on the condition of the Lungs), and after a short time, unfortunately, there will be no life.
So, in theory, you should be happy – both about the presence of hair on your body and about its quality. This means that the Kidneys and Lungs are functioning correctly and are protecting your health.
Yes, very often what we perceive as a flaw is actually an indicator of something very good. And the information above may not make everyone love all their body hair (the “glossy” standards of beauty are too strong) ... but at least it will allow you to look at your body from a new point of view: as an ideal biomachine in which everything is beautiful .
Hair is an indicator of our health
Healthy hair is when you can boast of beautiful and shiny hair. It is a real pleasure to look at them and touch them with your hands. If the hair does not hurt, it is strong and does not split, and the scalp does not have problems with dandruff. Hair can noticeably become dull when we are under stress. When we get sick or simply don’t eat right, we start smoking, don’t get enough sleep, abuse alcohol and resort to physical exercise much less often.
Women's hair is at risk in the spring, during pregnancy and when breastfeeding a baby. And if we are not yet sick, and the body is working hard (because we have to work hard to earn money, taking extra hours), the hair immediately reacts - it becomes brittle and falls out in much larger quantities. And in order for it to crumble less, hide your hair from exposure to severe frost and direct sunlight.
If you wore a Panama hat or a straw hat while on vacation, you won’t be able to help but notice how much softer your hair has become. Now they shine with their beauty and there are no difficulties with styling at all. Because after proper rest, your hair will style much faster!
Hair requires daily care. But before you start, you need to know exactly what type of hair you have and what shortcomings it has. Girls, remember the lessons of your labors. What kind of hair is there? Not just light or dark. First of all, this is normal hair. If you are less fortunate, then you have brittle, oily or problematic hair.
And since the hair roots (hair follicles) are located deep under the skin, the scalp also needs to be taken care of. That is, the healthier the scalp, the fewer problems you will have with your hair. Remember that you should not come to the hairdresser with unwashed hair. If the scalp sweats a lot, it means that the hair is dirty and begins to emit an unpleasant odor. What to do in this case? Wash!
If your head sweats often, then you should wash it more often, because more dust settles on such property. As a result, the hair becomes sticky to the touch and its appearance is extremely unpleasant. Moreover, dust contains a huge number of microorganisms that we do not need.
The living part of the hair is located under the skin. It is through it that the hair receives the nutrients it needs. And what we see with the naked eye is the dead part of the hair. Although more beautiful.
Why don’t mothers and grandmothers advise us to dye our already luxurious hair? Because under the influence of chemicals, hair loses its protective layer. Moreover, the unique original color given to you by nature is lost. And don’t forget that perming your hair also has a detrimental effect on it.
It has been scientifically proven that the older a person is, the darker his hair is compared to what he had at birth. But albinos do not change hair color. Just as he was pure white, he will remain the same until his death. We inherit the thickness of our hair, its oiliness and waviness.
If your hair becomes tangled, this is an unhealthy sign. They need to be treated urgently! Curly hair does not shine as much as straight hair. Also, healthy hair is elastic hair. If you meet a girl with a waist-length braid, it means her hair has been growing for more than six years. We tend to believe that we will soon go bald when we notice rapid hair loss due to hormonal imbalance or stress. But in fact, even a hundred hairs lost per day are considered normal! And since not everyone can effectively treat hair on their own, it is best to consult an experienced trichologist.
Be healthy!
