Sure, some of it is genetic and some of it has to do with how we treat it (the products we use, styling tools we rely on) but a lot of it also has to do with how you feed it. No, we’re not talking about DIY hair masks (although you can click here for that!). According to the “ healthy hair experts ” at Infusium 23, eating a well balanced diet is the key to unlocking beautiful hair. Salmon is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B-12 and iron, all of which keep hair lustrous and strong and the scalp well moisturized so hair doesn’t appear dull and dry. Dark green vegetables (think spinach and broccoli!) Beans are rich in protein and promote healthy hair growth. Nuts carry many benefits for hair! Poultry is a great source of protein. Hair static solutions too! Eggs are also a great source of protein and contain biotin and vitamin B-12 which are both essential to hair health. Cucumbers are not only rich in water, but also silica.

I tend to apply some sort of serum on almost every head of hair that I curl which I think is a major contributor to why my curls get so perfectly piece-y. I think the only real way to gauge your love for a hair serum is to put a drop in your palm and try it on your hair! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6: L’Oreal EverStyle Smooth + Shine Serum: This is an awesome budget friendly alternative! 7. 8.
Hair Tutorial: The Perfect Mermaid Curls Although “perfect” is a relative term, this method for curling hair is pretty much perfect by my standards, mostly because it isn’t fussy.

Supplies: 1″ curling iron, brush, and hair sprayTime: 45 minutes (for thick hair) All of the magic happens with Revlon’s “Helen of Troy” ceramic 1″ curling iron.

All this while hopefully adding some value to what is read in new ideas, unheard suggestions or simply by giving reminders of what might be known dead inside you already. I certainly find that in reading lists from other people. This was my most difficult list I’ve made after admiring sproutwatches.com and while I was hoping to make a list of 100 ways to be more humble, I really struggled coming up with unique ideas that didn’t have too much overlap and were not just a large list of different words or minor actions to be more humble.
