Dietary changes

A protein rich diet aids in restoring strength to thin hair. Remember, hair is 98percent dead protein only and foods like soy, fish and lean proteins provide the wanted nutrients minus the unwanted saturated fats. An unresponsive scalp can be stimulated with a vitamin rich diet. Vitamin B12, B6 contain biotin essential for hair re-growth. This essential nutrient is found in green leafy vegetables, eggs, Soya products and liver. Omega-3 fatty acids promote healthier and shinier strands. Walnuts, almonds and fatty fish contain this.

You must begin these techniques for caring for thin hair during the earlier stages, rather than wait till you have permanent and irreversible damage. Balance your nutrition; keep scalp clean, increase use of thickening shampoos and conditioners and check with your doctor if medications like contraceptive pills are increasing thin hair and breakage.
