Hair Health From The Outside In

Have you ever experienced that gloom when  you look in the mirror, even with your best makeup and clothes, you still feel like something is missing? You haven't quite hit on the look you're aiming for. For many of us, the problem is our hair. No matter what you try and do to it -- a different style, a new colour, a thorough washing and conditioning -- it just doesn't seem as vibrant as it used to be. The answer to your problem you might just find right here in this weeks journal Hair Health From The Outside In.

Hydration

Many people don't understand the role of water and hydration plays in the body. Too often, they simply drink when they’re feeling thirsty. However, your body telling you it's thirsty is the first sign that you’re actually dehydrated.  Cells require a certain amount of water in order to perform their functions properly. This is true of the cells that live in your hair as well.

Hair cells need lots of water to provide hair with their integrity, strength, and healthy appearance. Being dehydrated basically dries out your skull. When this happens your hair becomes brittle and weak. In some cases, it will even thin out your hair, and for those whose hair is already thin just through genetics, this can result in embarrassing bald spots.

The most recent research indicates that a person should drink eight to ten glasses of water a day in order to keep their body properly hydrated. However, this may not always be so easy to do or even keep track of given the busy rigours of daily life. If you happen to be an active person or someone who exercises a lot, you may need more than just ten glasses of water to hydrate your body. For more water benefits read  and  here and here

Vitamin Drip

What Are Vitamin Drips?

Simply put, vitamin drips are an IV treatment in which potent and concentrated vitamins are placed directly into your bloodstream. They bypass the slow work oral supplements provide and instead give you a powerful boost of health that’s proudly displayed through your hair.

Vitamins

What would an IV vitamin drip be without the vitamins? These molecules not only serve to promote healthy hair but also boost your overall health. For hair, in particular, the vitamins that fall into the complex B category, as well as iron, zinc, and vitamin C, all play a key role in promoting health. They also help your body run more efficiently and promote good health.

According to recent studies, 90% of Americans don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables. The IV vitamin drip takes all the vitamins necessary for healthy hair and puts them in one simple cocktail that will give your hair a needed boost. No more worrying about taking oral supplements every morning. Instead, you can let the powerful effects of an IV vitamin drip do all the work for you.

Stress

Anyone who is stressed -- or has experienced stress -- knows that during periods of high tension your hair can start to shed. While you may not understand the reasoning behind it, your hair is an unfortunate casualty of stress.  Keeping stress at a minimum can really play a major role in the health of your hair.  Meditation is a great way to combat stress and there are many short guided meditations available for free online.

Boost Collagen

Because vitamin drips offer a decent amount of Vitamin C, which helps produce collagen, you can be sure to see an incredible change in your skin and hair. Collagen is a key factor in having healthy hair, skin, and nails. With the ultra-potent source of Vitamin C you get from a vitamin drip, your body will be producing collagen with ease. Ultimately, you may find more than just your hair looking lustrous and rejuvenated after receiving an IV vitamin drip.

You can also boost collagen orally.  There are many options available like supplements, or powders to add to smoothies juices.  So if IV therapy isn't your thing, then you can still get doses of collagen to help improve your hair.
