Hair Food

Are you feeding your hair?

Products are wonderful & helpful in maintaining & making our tresses look {GO}rgeous... however, what you EAT is important as well. What we put IN our bodies is essential to get that full bodied texture & shine that won't fade everytime we remove product from our hair.

Sooo... what is Hair Food you ask?

#1 WATER!

Drink plenty of water. By weight we are about 65% water so HYDRATE yourself! This will help your scalp and follicles and ensure the blood is circulating well to feed the hair with vital nutrients. Which leads me to...

#2 Nutrients!

Increase your intake of essential fatty acids & protein: including nuts, seeds, dark, rich veggies and good quality olive oil and nut oils for cooking and salads. Hair is 97 % protein. The rest is made up of amino acids,minerals and trace elements.

It's important to try different fruits and veggies to see what your body likes & needs. Don't be afraid to go to your local farmer's market or grocery store and ask for different reciepes and/or help to identify something new! Salmon is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, B-12 and iron this high-quality protein source helps to support a healthy scalp. Top it off with a little swiss chard... which is a terrfic source of vitamins A and C, this aids your body in producing sebum; nature's conditioner secreted by your hair. There are tons of reciepes out there...

Add a few red beans, walnuts & fresh cilantro to a nice mixed salad! Why not skip the white bread for a nice whole wheat 7-grain? Small healthy choices go a long way and the results are worth it!

Let's get to cookin', get to eattin' and get to GROWIN' ORGANIC HAIR!
