Healthy Hair Tips from Sophie Uliano
Eat your way to healthy hair with
Sophie Uliano's expert advice. For dry hair, she suggests eating leafy greens and carrots for Vitamin A and C to achieve a lustrious look. If you consider your hair to have a greasy texture, add Omega 3 fatty acids and flaxseeds to your diet by eating salmon, sardines, and pumpkin seeds. Broken and weak hair can be strengthened with more protein from foods such as beans, rice, and nut bars. The iodine found in seaweed and plain yogurt is helpful for prematurely graying hair.
