A hair imbalance can have various origins: nutritional deficiency, constant stress, lack of sleep... To overcome this, it is not enough to multiply cosmetic treatments or frequently change your hair routine but to be able to listen and understand what what our hair has to tell us.
Hair, the mirror of the soul
The condition of our hair is a good indicator of our mental and physical health.
Thus, knowing how to interpret your hair imbalances is a way of understanding what is wrong and of remedying the problem encountered. For example, repeated breakages, a strong presence of dandruff or a lack of radiance can be due to a mineral deficiency, a poor diet or a stressful lifestyle.
In fact, eating a varied and balanced diet is often more beneficial to our hair than applying an intense nourishing mask. This is also where the secret lies for your hair to be healthy: having a stable and healthy lifestyle .
1. Stay hydrated
When we talk about hair health, we often forget that a lack of water can be the cause of a lack of vitality. As you know, our body is made up of at least 60% water: an essential element for the proper functioning of the internal system that helps transport oxygen and nutrients in the blood.
So to have beautiful hair, you have to start by hydrating yourself well.
Indeed, this guarantees the preservation of the scalp and promotes the circulation of blood to the roots, through which the hair draws all the nutrients necessary for its growth. While a lack of hydration causes this area to dry out, which can ultimately affect the condition of your hair. So to avoid a substantial fall, repeated breakage or a significant presence of dandruff, start by increasing your water consumption.
Know that it is advisable to drink at least 1.5L to 2L of water a day to be in good shape, so think about it and you will see the difference.
2. Practice a regular sporting activity
Doing sports regularly is beneficial to our body, our mental state but also to our hair. And yes, practicing a sports activity reduces stress, one of the main causes of a capillary imbalance, also brings discipline and strengthens mental balance.
No need to rush to the gym to burn off all your calories, the important thing is to do an activity that you enjoy, that relaxes you and helps you eliminate toxins from your body. Go for a bike ride, a sit-up session every morning, a regular 15-30 minute jog, yoga, or just meditation before you go to sleep. The idea is that you can have a moment just for yourself, to refocus on yourself and release all the negative tensions that can alter the state of health of your hair.
Playing sports makes you happier, improves physical condition and strengthens hair vitality, so what are you waiting for?

As you will have understood, to have beautiful hair, you have to eat well.
It is proven that an unbalanced diet can have negative effects on the condition of your hair fiber. For example, an iron deficiency can dry out your hair and make it dull and brittle. So to prevent these problems, be sure to have a good supply of proteins, vitamins and minerals, because they participate in the production of keratin, help strengthen the hair fiber, provide hydration and cleanse the scalp.
You will find all the nutrients you will need in the following foods:

- eggs , which boost hair shine,
- legumes , rich in iron,
- green vegetables , which are high in vitamin A and C,
- dried fruits , loaded with magnesium and vitamin E
