Healthy Hair From The Inside Out
Like skin, hair can lose moisture, lustre and bounce with age. Haircare, hydration and targeted nutrition can help hair look and feel its best.
Beautiful hair starts with putting moisture back, both topically and from within. When washing your hair, choose mild products containing ingredients such as fatty acids and protein to help protect the outer layer. Always rinse well to avoid residue, which can leave hair looking limp and may build up on the scalp. Finish with a cool rinse to help smooth the hair cuticle. Try to avoid styling products that contain high levels of alcohol, which can be drying, and minimise frequent use of blow-dryers, straighteners and curling irons. When using heated styling tools, keep temperatures moderate and consider using a heat-protective product. Feed your follicles Your haircare routine should not stop at the shower. Hair relies on a range of nutrients to maintain its normal growth and condition. Aim for a varied diet rich in zinc, magnesium, potassium, iron and quality protein, along with colourful vegetables, fruit, wholegrains, nuts and seeds. Protein is particularly important because hair is primarily made from keratin. Including protein from foods such as eggs, fish, lean meat, legumes, nuts and seeds can form an important part of a hair-friendly diet. Staying well hydrated matters too, particularly in warmer weather or when exercising regularly. Don’t forget your scalp Healthy-looking hair also begins at the scalp. Treat it with the same care you give the skin on your face. Avoid excessively hot showers and vigorous scratching or brushing, and gently massage your scalp while shampooing. This can help lift product build-up while making an everyday wash a relaxing self-care ritual. Lifestyle factors matter as well. Stress, restrictive dieting and poor sleep can affect overall wellbeing, so supporting hair health is another good reason to prioritise nutritious food, regular movement, adequate rest and time to unwind. While there is no single magic ingredient or quick fix for dry or thinning hair, changing your haircare habits and adding specific hair-supporting nutrients to your diet can make a
difference over time. “Good hair days” are not about instant perfection; they are built one healthy habit at a time. Hair Ritual is a delicious daily drink from Nutra Naturals that makes it easy to incorporate targeted hair nutrients into your day. Hair Ritual contains nine essential nutrients to support your hair, including biotin, zinc, iron, iodine, selenium, vitamin B6 and selected B-group vitamins. It also contains AnaGain™ Nu, a plant extract derived from organic pea sprouts. Taken together, these nutrients support normal hair growth in one convenient daily dose; simply add one teaspoon to 150 ml of cold water, stir and sip. We suggest pairing Hair Ritual with Nutra Naturals Collagen Beauty, which contains collagen peptides, vitamin C and biotin to support and maintain healthy skin, hair and nails. Together, the two products offer a complementary inside-out approach: Hair Ritual for targeted hair nutrition and Collagen Beauty for broader beauty support.
