Optimizing our Hair & Nail Health

Our bodies change throughout each season, sometimes being more prone to dryness and irritability. During the drier, colder days it is especially important to keep our hair & nail health up to standard. How do we do this and… what is hair and nail health?
We use our hands for everything, our nail cuticles are important in keeping any infections away and promoting our nail growth. Our hair can get into phases of thinning out and even falling out sometimes, due to lack of proper nutrients or an unideal diet. If this is consistent, there can even be an underlying medical issue that needs to be explored further.
We are sharing our most important tips and tricks to keep our hair health and nail growth optimal!
Make sure you are getting all of your vitamins! B vitamins, zinc, iron and vitamin D are essential for hair growth and thickness. It is no wonder the winter months can make us feel like they are dragging along sometimes - we need to make sure our bodies feel supported!
Castor oil is essential if you are looking to keep your eyebrow, eyelash and hair healthy and growing. By massaging this oil into the areas of your choosing, you can promote the blood flow and increase the hair follicle strength.
Our Nail & Cuticle oil is a must! The essential oil blend helps replenish our cuticles and keep them as lively as possible. This is a great self-care opportunity.
Add a multivitamin to your everyday routine! Vitamin deficiency is a common issue for women and men presenting with hair loss or inability to grow strong hair. Without the proper diet of proper protein and omegas, it can be difficult to have a balanced diet everyday. Simplify your life by one or two supplements a day!
Focus on an anti-inflammation diet and support your gut health. Avoiding fatty foods, fried food, alcohol and sugary drinks will promote the wellness you are looking for in your diet. When your body is in a state of inflammation due to unhealthy eating habits, your body is out of balance and can not work as effectively. Try adding probiotics to aid in your very important gut health.
