We fuss over it; if its not just right or one hair is out of place we have to fix it. That’s right I’m talking about your hair. Hair is so important to people because it completes the look plus it is one accessory that you can’t get rid of. Additionally, if your hair looks bad, or dry or frizzy you can’t hide it. People see your hair no matter what you do to it and if you try to hide it with a hat or a bag (just kidding) people wonder why. Even though the majority of people who fuss over their hair are females, don’t let the men fool you, they fuss over their hair just as much, that is if they have hair. And if they don’t have hair or its falling out then that’s a whole other story. But anyways, we spend thousands of dollars a year on our hair, to make it look shiny, smooth, silky and perfect. However, what if I told you that you could get perfect hair right at home without having to spend money on all of those expensive hair cuts, highlights, perms, etc. Here are five do it yourself tips to get you the perfect hair in no time. 1. Hair along with skin and nails are part of the body’s Integumentary system. This system protects the body from damage. So it is important to keep all components of this system healthy and working properly. To do this it is important to eat a good balanced diet. Nutrition along with the proper intake of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants especially Vitamin E will keep hair looking shiny and smooth. Additionally hair is made up of 25% water, therefore to keep our hair hydrated it is important to drink at least 8-10 glasses a day. 2. Hair loss is a very stressful topic for both men and women. However, there are ways to slow down hair loss or even reverse the affects of hair loss. Biotin is a water soluble B-complex vitamin that can help regenerate hair follicles. The best way to get Biotin is through the food products that contain it. Mix bananas with honey, yogurt and low-fat milk into a smoothie and drink daily. Otherwise taking vitamin supplements such as Vitamin B6, B-complex, zinc and saw palmetto will help as well. Remember don’t stress about hair loss.
