Eat your way to healthy hair
Apart from the right shampoo, conditioner and treatment, the other secret to thick, healthy strands is in the food we eat. Each strand of hair is made up of cells that require nourishment. Protein is vital for healthy hair growth so ensure it is always present in your diet.
