This New Year you don’t need new clothes to make heads turn and make you feel fantastic, you’re already wearing the latest accessory, your hair!
The way you wear your hair says a lot about your self grooming habits and your style quotient too. However, you need to have healthy hair if you want to make a fashion statement with them.
Keeping your hair in a healthy condition is the least you can do to make them look fabulous.
Like everything else about true, lasting beauty, healthy hair begins within your body, so start with your diet.
Include lots of green leafy vegetables and sweet juicy fruits. Dairy products such as milk and fresh yogurt will also help. Fresh coconut is also considered excellent “hair food” – sprinkle grated coconut over salads, diced fresh fruit, or rice.
Cooking with certain spices adds flavor to your food and provides nourishment for your hair. Cumin, turmeric and black pepper are some “hair-friendly” spices.
