To begin the process of healthy hair, first we need to look at starting with a healthy body. It has been well documented that illness and stress are at least two factors that can lead to hair loss, premature greying and thinning hair. To prevent further hair loss Beauty B's suggestion is to start by getting proper nutrition for your hair.

1. Drink plenty of water. Drink a minimum of 6-8 eight ounce glasses per day. Your hair also contains water so drinking lots of water is essential to promoting hair growth.

2. Eat more foods that are rich in protein. Proteins give your hair strength. Eat lots of Salmon, which is rich in Omega 3 - a deficiency can result in dry scalp and hair. Other sources of protein include liver, fish, eggs, beans, cottage cheese and yogurt. Try incorporating Tofu into your diet.

3. Eat lots of dark green vegetables. They are very rich in iron, which carries oxygen to the hair follicles. Iron is the second most important Nutrient for hair, with Protein being the first. Salmon (mentioned above) is also a good source of Iron. Other sources include: liver, eggs, dates, raisins, and whole grain cereals.

4. Nuts are also a good source of protein, however they are also high in Zinc. A zinc deficiency can lead to hair shedding. Cashews and almonds are a great source of zinc.

5. Wholegrain. Include whole-wheat bread and fortified whole-grain breakfast cereals, as they provide the body with zinc, iron, and B vitamins. As mentioned above, these vitamins and minerals are all essential for proper hair growth.

6. Head Massage. Massaging your scalp with your fingertips will increase circulation in your scalp which is important for hair growth.

If you are still concerned about hair loss and want to seek treatment contact your Doctor first.
