**Now this bitches hair is always on point!!!** Never a strand out of place, you never see her roots and her color is amazing always shiney. No split ends!! ~~( Don't envy her bitches lol ).~~ I need the number to her stylist asap! Now I asked my BBF who does my hair to give us some tips. **Remember all beauty starts from the inside out**

Forget hair revitalizing shampoos, great nutrition is the most effective way of getting awesome hair!

Shiny, healthy hair is a reflection of a healthy body, so it's like two for the price of one. Just like your body, your hair needs a balanced, nutritious diet to stay healthy. So follow this recipe for healthier hair, and be amazed at the difference it makes!

Water

Water makes up one-fourth of the weight of a strand of hair. Moisture makes the hair supple, so make sure you get plenty of fluids. A key point is NOT to wait until you're thirsty. If you're thirsty, it means your body has already lost more water than it should have, and it's urging you to fill up the tank. Water not only hydrates your body, but helps keep your hair silky and shiny. Ideally, you should drink between eight and ten glasses of water a day.

Protein

Protein is the building block of hair, so a diet for healthy hair contains an awful lot of protein! Protein will give the shaft of your hair more strength, and will reduce the likelihood of dame through snapping and splitting. You can get protein from foods like fish, meat, milk, cheese and cereals.

Minerals

Iron helps to carry oxygen to the hair. Without enough iron, hair and its follicles get starved of oxygen. This means that the �goodness� in the root of your hair is much less effective along the length of the strand. You can increase your iron intake by eating red meat and dark green vegetables, or by iron supplements.
Zinc builds hair protein which helps to prevent hair loss. Meat and seafood are the foods highest in zinc.
Copper is involved in the pigmentation of hair. You can optimize your natural color with a diet with plenty of copper. Who needs hair dye and fake color! Shellfish, liver, fresh vegetables, nuts, seeds and meat are all high in copper.

Vitamins

Vitamin A will give you a healthy scalp, because it�s great for the skin! You can get vitamin A from foods like vegetables - in particular, in carrots. (So it�s good for the waistline too!)
Vitamin B and C are important for good circulation, hair growth and hair color. If you ensure that you have enough vitamin B and C, you�ll have strong, supple strands of hair that do not split. You can get these vitamins from eating foods like fruit, vegetables, cereals, eggs, milk and bread.
So follow this healthy guide� be sure to add in a hefty dose of daily exercise to keep that blood pumping� then add proper hair care on the surface! Go ahead! Try it!

Soon enough you'll be turning down offers to do shampoo commercials!

I hope you ladies try this I'm all about healthy living. I lost weight and went 2 pants sizes down because of minor teaks I've made in my life. It makes a HUGE difference.

Comment by Starr on November 13, 2008 at 5:32pm: They sell vitamins for your hair, skin, and nails at whole foods. You can get it in pill or liquid form. It has worked for me. Between taking that and the hot olive oil treatments, my hair has grown a lot. When my sister was pregnant, she was taking those and her hair and skin were fantastic! I heard taking folic acid will help your hair grow too...
