HELLO there folks, it is me again. And yes once again we are on the “can we grow our hairline again.”
For some of you this is boring because you have all your hair perfect. But I get 100s of messages from people stressed out because they have no hairline. It is real and I feel for them because I experienced the same thing because of medical issues for years. It is not ego, it is reality. Every person has the right to feel beautiful all round – it is a God-given right. And I would urge people out there who are perfect to maybe be a little bit more considerate and understanding, of those of us who are not so perfect. After-all tomorrow you may need my advice, and I am sure you would appreciate it is I also took time to answer you. So having said that, let us continue…..What we eat is just as important as what we feed our hair. I promise you people, diet plays such an important role in hair, nail and skin. You are what you eat believe me!
Understand the role that diet plays. Most hairline treatments focus on topical care, but hair originates within the body, so internal health is just as important as external health.
Your body sends the nutrients you consume to your organs and other essential tissues first, so even if your body is receiving enough nutrition to remain healthy, it may not be receiving enough to keep your hair in good shape.
Certain nutrients play a more direct role in hair care than others. Consuming foods that are rich in these nutrients can give your struggling hairline an additional boost from the inside.
Nutritional supplements that contain these helpful nutrients can also make a difference, but in most cases, your hairline will derive greater benefit from direct food sources than it will from artificial supplement sources.
Consume more omega-3 fatty acids. Good sources of omega-3 include fatty fish like salmon and tuna, flaxseeds, walnuts, and Brussels sprouts.
Omega-3 clings to the hair shaft and cell membranes in the scalp, where it strengthens your hair follicles and encourages growth. It also makes your hair less brittle, so strands around your hairline will be less likely to break off as they grow back.
Get more zinc into your diet. A few sources worth considering include chickpeas, wheat germ, beef, veal liver, and oysters.
Zinc encourages tissue growth and repair within the body, so if your hairline troubles are linked to a damaged scalp, a little extra zinc can make a big difference.
Additionally, zinc also encourages glands along your scalp to produce oils that keep your existing hair healthy and vibrant.
Eat plenty of protein. Meat and legumes are some of the greatest sources of protein you can find. Include more chicken, turkey, eggs, peanuts, beans, peas, and lentils in your diet. Greek yogurt also provides a considerable dose of protein.
Hair is almost entirely made of protein, so if you don’t consume enough protein, you’ll never be able to re-grow your lost hairline. Protein deficiency can also cause your remaining hair to thin out and turn grey.
Look for foods containing iron. Iron can be found in a wide range of foods, including dark leafy greens, whole grains, red meat, oysters, beans, and clams.
Iron improves blood flow around the body. Without it, blood won’t be able to carry enough oxygen to the cells around your scalp, and you won’t be able to reinvigorate dormant follicles.
Get plenty of vitamin A and vitamin C. Sweet potato, carrots, dark leafy greens, squash, and apricots are all high in vitamin A. Guava, bell peppers, kiwi, oranges, and grapefruit are all high in vitamin C. For me I have as much vegetables in salad and as much fruit in smoothies every day. I do not have time to think about what vitamins I have taken or not, so it is easier to ensure I have everything in my meals.
Both of these vitamins help your hair follicles produce natural oils called “sebum.” This oil keeps your hair hydrated and reduces the risk of breakage.
Note that consuming more than 15,000 IU of vitamin A on a daily basis can actually cause further hair loss, however
Avoid magnesium deficiency and selenium deficiency. Nuts and fish can be good sources of both nutrients. Halibut, almonds, and cashews are rich in magnesium. Halibut is also rich in selenium, as is tuna, shrimp, sardines, and Brazil nuts.
Magnesium plays a crucial role in many different biochemical bodily functions, including hair growth.
Selenium allows the body to make selenoproteins, which can help stimulate dormant hair follicles.
