Using traditional methods designed to improve hair health is a bad idea that may harm rather than help. Trichologist Olga Kokhas spoke about this, according to reports Radio Sputnik.
The expert noted that the use of onion in hair masks can damage the skin and also disrupt the immune barrier. Instead, it would be better to pay attention to preparations containing onion extract.
“We cannot extract beneficial properties in the required concentration from plants such as chamomile, nettle, birch, onion, garlic and red pepper. “That’s why industrial extraction is being done,” he said.
Homemade oil-based masks are also dangerous. They simply attract moisture, promoting hair loss.
Before that, nutritionist Marina Shakhova saidWhat products will help preserve the beauty of your hair? The diet should include nuts, seeds, fish, legumes, vegetables and fruits, eggs, dairy products and green vegetables.
According to him, it is important to get Omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, vitamin E, vitamin C, zinc and iron from foods for healthy hair.
At the same time, Shakhova emphasized that alcohol, sugar-rich foods, as well as fatty and processed foods can negatively affect hair, including contributing to hair loss.
