World Health Day: The Link Between General Wellbeing and Hair Health

Every year on April 7th we celebrate World Health Day , an opportunity to reflect on the importance of all-round well-being.

We often focus on the health of our body and mind, but did you know that your overall health directly reflects on the condition of your hair ? In this article, we will explore how the right diet, lifestyle, and products can help maintain healthy, shiny hair.

The importance of proper nutrition

Hair is a reflection of our diet . A balanced diet provides essential nutrients for hair growth and strength. Here are some key elements:

  • Proteins : They form the basis of keratin , the main protein in hair. Ideal sources are lean meat, fish, eggs, legumes and nuts.
  • Iron : Essential for oxygenating hair follicles. Foods such as red meat, spinach and legumes are rich in it.
  • Zinc : Helps produce sebum, keeping the scalp hydrated. Found in nuts, seeds, and whole grains.
  • B vitamins : Improve blood circulation to the scalp, promoting hair growth. Found in whole grains, meat, fish and green leafy vegetables.
  • Vitamin E : Protects hair from oxidative damage and improves circulation to the scalp. Sources include nuts, seeds and vegetable oils.
  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids : Keeps hair hydrated and flexible. Oily fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts are great sources.

Avoiding processed and sugary foods helps prevent hair from weakening. Also, proper hydration is essential: drinking enough water keeps hair elastic and shiny.

Lifestyle and hair health

Our daily habits profoundly influence the health of our hair . Here are some things to consider:

  • Stress Management : Chronic stress can cause hair loss and weakening of the hair. Relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation and physical activity can mitigate these effects.
  • Quality Sleep : Getting enough sleep allows the body to regenerate, also promoting healthy hair.
  • Avoid smoking : Smoking weakens the hair, making it dry and dull. Quitting smoking improves blood circulation, which also benefits the scalp.
  • Sun Protection : UV rays can damage your hair. Wearing hats or using products with sunscreen helps protect your hair during sun exposure.

Choosing the right products

In addition to a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle, using the right products is crucial to maintaining healthy hair . Opting for organic products, free from harsh chemicals, can make a difference.

For example, the Cutié Sebum-Balancing Shampoo is formulated with natural ingredients such as burdock , horsetail , sage and fructooligosaccharides , which help regulate sebum production and strengthen the hair structure.

The health of your hair is closely linked to your general well-being. Adopting a balanced diet , managing stress and choosing natural and quality products are fundamental steps to maintaining strong and shiny hair. Take care of yourself 360 degrees and your hair will be a reflection of it.
