At The Refined Man, we’re passionate about more than just great haircuts. We believe that looking your best starts with feeling your best, and that includes taking care of your hair. After all, the health of your hair is often a reflection of your overall health.
The Inside-Out Connection
Our hair is made of keratin, a protein produced by hair follicles. These follicles rely on a steady supply of nutrients from your bloodstream to function properly. When your body is healthy and getting the vitamins and minerals it needs, the hair follicles can thrive, resulting in strong, shiny hair with a healthy scalp.
Signs Your Hair Might Be Trying to Tell You Something
Here are some things to watch out for in your hair that might be indicative of underlying health issues:
- Dry, brittle hair: This could be a sign of dehydration, nutrient deficiencies, or thyroid problems.
- Excessive hair loss: While some hair loss is normal, sudden or significant shedding can be related to stress, hormonal imbalances, or even certain medications.
- Dandruff: While dandruff can sometimes be caused by dry skin, persistent scalp flaking can also be linked to scalp conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
Taking Charge of Your Health (and Hair!)
The good news is that by taking care of your overall health, you can also support healthy hair growth. Here are some tips:
- Eat a balanced diet: Make sure you’re getting enough protein, vitamins like biotin and vitamin A, and iron to nourish your hair follicles.
- Manage stress: Chronic stress can contribute to hair loss. Techniques like meditation or exercise can help.
- Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water keeps your scalp healthy and promotes hair growth.
- Get enough sleep: Your body repairs and restores itself during sleep, so aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night.
