SHORT-CUTS TO BEAUTIFUL HAIR

Having beautiful, healthy, glossy hair is not just for the rich and famous or the lucky few who are born with stunning hair. Hair is comprised largely of keratin protein. In order for you to have healthy and glossy hair, you need to maintain healthy levels of ample protein. Eating seeds, nuts, beans, sprouts, fish and whole grains can obtain good sources of protein.

Minerals are important because they maintain healthy hair.

Healthy kidneys = Healthy hair

Your kidneys produce lots of fast-growing healthy hair. If you suffer from hair loss, it is a good idea to pay special attention to your kidneys by drinking plenty of water and avoid too much salt intake.

Good sources of minerals can be obtained by eating sea vegetables as nori, hijiki and wakame. Wakame has high levels of calcium.
