How do I get my hair silky and shiny?

Treat your hair from the inside out


Having soft, supple, and strong hair isn't enough to have a complete range of hair care products in your bathroom. The secret to healthy, perfectly healthy hair actually lies in what you eat. A rich, varied, and balanced diet is essential every day. Dietary supplements are also excellent sources of vitamins and minerals essential for beautiful hair.

How to properly nourish your hair?

To take care of your hair, you have invested in specific shampoos and hair care products. While using the right care is essential, it is not enough. As the online portal of the well-being and health magazine Doctissimo points out , the beauty of your hair also depends on the nutritional intake you provide to your body. To keep your hair beautiful and strong, it must be nourished with sufficient protein, zinc, iron, sulfur, and B vitamins every day.

Furthermore, the consumption of foods containing saturated fats should be avoided. Essential for preserving the beauty capital of hair, proteins are involved in the process of keratin synthesis. Sulfur is responsible for cementing the proteins that make up keratin together. To promote this fusion, sulfur must combine with zinc, which in turn binds to the sulfur end of the protein and helps it attach to another. Iron, for its part, is the element responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the hair roots.

Also essential, B vitamins not only promote blood circulation in the roots, but also stimulate the renewal process of the cells that form the hair follicle. Specifically, vitamin B5 helps hair growth. Vitamin B6 is involved in the metabolism of keratin proteins. Finally, vitamin B8 effectively regulates sebum production within hair fibers. The Scientific Institute of Food Hygiene (ISHA) recommends a daily intake of 50 to 60 g of protein, 1000 mg of sulfur, 15 mg of zinc, and 15 to 20 mg of iron.

What to eat to have beautiful hair?


To strengthen your hair and restore its beauty and vigor, include foods rich in vitamins and minerals in your diet. Below is a short list of foods to use in your recipes:

— Salmon, mackerel, sardines, and trout. Rich in protein and omega-3, these fish improve the elasticity of hair fibers and slow down the aging process of cells.
— Eggs. High in protein, eggs boost keratin production. In addition to strengthening hair follicles, eggs help hair regain shine and suppleness.
— White meat such as veal or poultry is a good source of protein.
— Lentils, soybeans, and other legumes like beans are rich in protein and iron.
— Seafood, especially oysters, contains a high amount of zinc. This trace element helps combat hair loss.
— Green vegetables like broccoli and spinach contain iron and vitamins A and C. These active ingredients actively fight against premature aging of hair cells.
— Avocados have the advantage of being rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids. Highly nourishing, avocados deeply hydrate hair fibers and protect them from external aggressions. To take advantage of its benefits, you can add it to a salad, eat it for dessert, or apply it directly to your hair as a hair mask.

Treat your hair with food supplements


To nourish and maintain hair from the inside out, dietary supplements can also be good allies. Formulated with horsetail and alfalfa extracts, minerals, vitamins, and keratin, the Keratine forte® Full Spectrum dietary supplement from Biocyte laboratories stimulates hair growth thanks to horsetail. It also helps hair regain vitality and strength. Acting directly at the heart of the hair fiber, the Keratine Max Capillaire dietary supplement from Biocyte laboratories nourishes hair fibers and adds volume to hair.

It benefits from a formula rich in K-AMINE complexes which consists of the 18 amino acids of keratin and Horsetail extracts. This formula was specifically created to get as close as possible to the original composition of each hair fiber.

Composed of a box Keratin forte food supplement of 180 capsules, the food supplement Strong Keratin is intended for those wishing to carry out a complete program based on keratin.

As a reminder, dietary supplements should always be consumed as part of a varied and healthy diet. It is essential to adhere to the indicated doses.
