Hair is a form of self expression and self love. Our innermost thoughts, our character; the type of person we would like to be are all expressed through our hair. If not only subtly. This is why so many of us are on our personal hair revitalisation journey. Whether this is with modern hair treatments or acestrial remedies. This is why I have gathered together a hair nourishment and revitalising guide. Here’s how to restore damaged hair.

Hair Revitalisation

Understanding hair health basics is as important as treating your hair. Hair is primarily made up of protein. More specifically keratin. Which I’m sure you will have come across on this journey. Keratin determines the strength, the elasticity and the structure of your hair. Hair breakage and split-ends are a direct product of keratin depletion. This is why modern hair treatments advertise keratin-rich products to promote a healthy hair structure.

How exactly does our keratin deplete and wither away? There are many causes for hair damage, such as: chemical treatments; harsh hair products; heat styling and environmental exposure. 80% of hair damage is attributed to external factors like heat and pollution. Hence these factors should be taken into serious consideration when restoring damaged hair naturally.(Journal of Trichology, 2020)

Common Hair Issues and Causes

These are the most common scalp issues:

• Hair Loss – The main cause of hair loss is poor nutrition and stress. Genetics may also play a role.
• Dryness – Chemical treatments are disastrous for dryness. And stay away from heat styling tools.
• Dandruff – A dry scalp or product buildup can both cause dandruff. Fungal infections also cause dandruff.
• Split ends – The culprit here is lack of moisture as this causes breakage.

Hair loss solutions are quite self explanatory once you know the root cause. Either fix your nutrition, avoid chemical treatments or refrain from using heat styling products. And preventing split ends with a moisturising hair mask.

Holistic Hair Care Practises

Does your daily hair care routine need adjusting? Maintaining natural hair requires a comprehensive hair care routine that may combine natural or professional treatments.

Here are a few healthy hair tips:

1. Balanced Diet:  It may seem unrelated but  holistic hair care requires you to eat a balanced diet. As vitamins and minerals are a must for strong healthy hair. Balanced diets improve hair growth by up to 30% within three months (British Journal of Nutrition, 2019).
2. Drinking water:  As mentioned earlier a dry scalp causes many hair conditions.Simply drinking plenty of water is a solution for this.
3. Avoid over – washing:  Another healthy hair tip is to simply avoid over – washing. To preserve the natural oils you may have.
4. Heat protectant:  If using heat styling products are absolutely unavoidable. Make sure you use heat protectant sprays. Or simply embrace your natural hair texture.
