Project Hair care- Importance of Nutrients for hair growth

 


Hello, 

I have created a series of hair care in the month of January. In my first post, I have mentioned the structure of hair, and what I am going to cover in this series. Its name was  Let's talk about hair.  My second post was about causes of hair fall. In that post, I tried to cover all those scenarios which cause hair fall or hair loss. That post was named with What are the causes of hair fall?

Hair fall occurs due to many reasons and without working on those reasons we keep on finding the remedies, so before adopting any remedy whether it is a natural way or a cosmetic way, we need to improve our diet and should understand the cause of hair fall.

“If your hair is falling out at the roots, often something is going wrong in your body or in your life situation,” Dr. Bergfeld says

Here are some nutrients required by your hair111 and deficiency of them will cause hair fall.

1. Vitamin A: It is one of the most important nutrients for hair growth. It is responsible for producing natural oil which moisturizes the scalp, known as sebum. Sebum helps in keeping the scalp healthy, and restrict dandruff or dryness. Vitamin A is mostly present in yellow or Orange colour fruits and vegetables. 

2. Vitamin C: This vitamin needs your attention because it plays vital role in hair growth. In most of the cases, vitamin C is the root cause of hair loss/hair fall. It is responsible for the production of Collagen which is a building block of hair. It is required to have vitamin C daily as it protects hair from premature greying, split ends, and weak structure. 

3. Iron: Deficiency of iron is directly related to hair loss. Our hair follicles needs iron for growth and if the body doesn't get the enough amount of iron then hair start shedding off and will weak your hair follicles. 

4. Protein: Hair are made up of protein fibres that means for good volume of hair, high protein diet is required. Less protein means less hair, Low protein diet leads to hair fall, split ends, weak structure which may lead to baldness.

5 B-Vitamin: B-vitamin is Biotin, it also plays a vital role in hair growth. Deficiency of it causes to hair fall. Biotin also helps in the production of keratin which is another type of fibrous protein. Biotin is also considered as the food of the hair. 

Benefits of Water for hair 

Water is the most essential component required by our body, as it helps in the smooth functioning of our body . Even our hair strand contains water so the required amount of water is needed by hair for staying healthy.  It is used for  hydration which results improved digestive system, good skin, and healthy hair. It is required to drink 2 to 3 litres of water for better absorption of nutrients and removal of toxins. If intake of high protein diet, then it is required to drink plenty of water for its digestion.
