Holidays seem to have come to an end… Except maybe for you, in the back… We see you, there, don’t come bragging as you’ll probably have to go back to your daily routine as well!

As we are all craving for good news to make our days shine brighter, here is something that will surely ease your back to school mood. Today, Termix offers you a new point of you on how to take care of your hair health, with the pleasant collaboration of Jackie Edwards .

Your hair is a reflection of your personality. It is about showing your spirit. Just like Termix brushes, bold is beautiful. It is important to keep it healthy and well conditioned. Looking after your hair isn’t just about the products that you put on it. Your diet and lifestyle can have a big impact on the condition of your hair.

Food to keep your hair healthy

You can keep your hair in good condition from the inside, simply by eating foods that promote wellbeing. Consuming enough protein is essential to help your hair grow – this doesn’t just mean eating more lean meat. Healthy protein alternatives are eggs, nuts, soybeans, lentils and other pulses. Omega 3 fatty acids also promote healthy hair and healthy nails. Try and eat two portions of oily fish a week, such as mackerel. Walnuts, flax seed, and rice are also a good source of fatty acids which are essential to keeping your hair shiny. Zinc and iron are the minerals your body needs to help hair follicles to grow. Foods that are high in both zinc and iron include prawns, oysters, beef and flax and pumpkin seeds.

Natural conditioners

Natural hair conditioners will keep your hair soft, supple and strong. This makes it easier to brush and style. Coconut oil is a great natural conditioner that will make your hair shiny and beautiful. It penetrates the hair shafts and helps to repair any hair damage caused by the weather, styling and blow drying. You can use a coconut hair oil mask and leave it on your hair for an hour, covered by a shower cap. Then simply wash out the oil – you will notice the difference straight away. Argan oil is also wonderful for protecting the hair. It smooths out flyaway hairs and helps taming frizz too. When you are washing your hair, try rinsing it through with a cup of green tea – this is a powerful antioxidant that helps your hair growing and reduces split ends.

Herbal and natural hair dye

Herbal and natural hair dyes are taking the market by storm. We are everyday more conscientious about the products that we use and the ingredients found in them. Some of the things that are found in the majority of commercial hair dyes, such as P-Phenylenediamine (PPD) and Ammonia can cause skin irritation and even breathing difficulty. Natural dyes are very much on trend, they are non-toxic and contain ingredients that are less likely to cause damage to your hair and scalp. They subtly improve the colour and tone of your hair, using ingredients such as lemon juice, beetroot, carrot juice and chamomile. You can use them to top-up and enhance your regular hair colour.

Keeping your hair in great condition means looking after yourself from the inside out. Try these tips to keep your hair shiny, strong and easy to style.
