How to stimulate hair growth?
Hair is put through its paces daily. Fatigue, pollution, and stress are all factors that directly affect the quality of the hair fiber. Hair becomes dull, brittle, and struggles to achieve the length of your dreams. To remedy this, it's important to adopt a healthy lifestyle, use the right care products, and adopt the right beauty routine, as well as resort to a course of dietary supplements.
Treat yourself to a course of food supplements
Hair reveals the state of the body and especially any nutritional deficiencies. Food supplements are the ideal solution to compensate for deficiencies and improve the quality of the hair. Generally presented in the form of capsules, these dietary supplements help hair to become stronger and shinier. The elements found in the capsules that help hair growth include B vitamins, zinc, iron and
keratin . The latter makes hair stronger, limits breakage and limits hair loss. To
promote hair growth , Biocyte offers
Keratine forte® growth . This hair growth food supplement helps
boost hair growth thanks to horsetail and keratin hydrolyzate. The miliacin contained in its capsules improves the
beauty of the hair . Zinc is also necessary for the synthesis of keratin. To optimize hair cell renewal, a course of dietary supplements based on B vitamins (B2, B5, B6, B8) is recommended.
Pamper your hair with suitable treatments
Hair care products are formulated specifically to accelerate hair growth. Shampoo with coenzyme Q10, for example, helps stimulate keratin production. Other treatments coat the hair in a film composed of collagen and various strengthening ingredients. Biocyte also offers keratin treatments in its Hair range, to slow hair loss and promote hair growth . Hair thus appears thicker and stronger. When hair reaches a certain length, it is important to pay special attention to the ends. Indeed, these can easily become fragile. To give them maximum care, use products that include ingredients with moisturizing properties, but which do not weigh down the hair. Fans of homemade treatments can optimize their hair growth with an egg yolk mask. To do this, you need to mix one egg yolk, one tablespoon of olive oil, and one tablespoon of coconut oil. Apply the mixture to the roots and lengths and leave for an hour before rinsing thoroughly.
Promote Hair Growth with the Right Foods
To grow, hair needs the nutrients that blood supplies to its roots. To promote hair growth, a healthy and balanced diet is essential. Don't skimp on foods rich in sulfur-containing proteins, such as tuna or cheese.
Doctissimo also reminds you of the importance of eating oysters and shrimp more regularly. These foods are rich in trace elements, particularly zinc and magnesium. Also, choose foods rich in B vitamins, such as cereals, egg yolks, meat, liver, etc. To prevent hair loss, foods rich in iron should also be included in your diet. This includes pulses, red meat, fish, and milk.
Grow your hair with simple habits
For beautiful hair, use brushes made with natural materials like boar bristles. Synthetic brushes promote breakage. Remember to always apply conditioner after washing your hair. This treatment provides the necessary elements to restore the damaged cuticle. It also helps prevent split ends and breakage, making hair healthier. For the final rinse, use cold water to stimulate blood circulation and keep hair healthy. Also, don't forget to apply your nourishing mask before or after washing. When drying, avoid wrapping your hair in a towel. Instead, air dry it. If you dream of long, silky hair, swap your cotton pillowcase for a satin one. Avoid elastics or iron clips that damage your hair. Also, avoid ponytails and tight buns. Opt for a looser hairstyle. To promote hair growth, space out your coloring sessions as much as possible. Trimming your ends regularly also helps stimulate hair growth.
