Legumes for shiny hair
A healthy hair is also one that appears consistent and shiny: also for this reason it is good to include legumes in the variety of foods to be placed at the table. In particular, beans, which have a fortifying action, and lentils, which help strengthen the hair shaft and therefore also say goodbye to brittle hair. The consumption of vegetable, rich in both proteins and B vitamins and iron, prevents hair loss, strengthening it and stimulating the body's production of keratin
Castor oil
Castor oil in the past was considered a panacea for all ills and among the grandmother's remedies for hair loss there was a recipe based on this oil, combined with egg and honey. And indeed castor oil is one of the best for strengthening hair and scalp thanks to its emollient, anti-inflammatory, but above all strengthening properties and able to rebalance the skin's sebum.
Castor oil packs are therefore recommended, especially if the hair is dry, brittle or broken. Also excellent for rebalancing the sebum in case you have the problem of so-called "greasy hair". These must be done before the normal shampoo.
Rice water
Rice water is one of the best natural, ecological and DIY remedies for taking care of hair. But above all at no cost: just set aside the cooking water for the rice and apply it on the hair to form a sort of coating that wraps the strands thanks to the starch contained in it. Another precious component that we find in rice water is inositol, which is a carbohydrate capable of repairing and protecting hair from roots to ends.
