6 simple lifestyle changes to encourage healthier hair growth

Your lifestyle plays a crucial role in determining your hair health. Here are some essential changes you need to make in your lifestyle to promote healthy hair growth.

Stay hydrated

It is essential to consume an adequate amount of water to stay hydrated. Dehydration can cause hair fall and make your hair brittle and dry.

Consume a balanced diet

Add foods rich in vitamins C and D, iron, zinc, biotin and omega-3 fatty acids to your diet to prevent hair fall. Consume seasonal fruits and vegetables like mangoes, grapes, cucumbers, etc to improve your hair health.

Maintain your hair wash routine

Maintain a proper hair-wash routine as sweaty and flaky scalp may lead to hair fall and damage.

Reduce heat styling

Heat styling can lead to hair fall and hair thinning. Avoid straightening or curling your hair using styling tools. Avoid using a blow dryer to dry your hair.

Engage in physical exercise

Follow an exercise routine as it helps reduce stress levels and prevents hair fall. It also helps improve blood circulation to your scalp and boosts hair growth.

Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption

Smoking and consuming alcoholic beverages in excess result in hair loss and decrease the blood flow to the scalp.
