More hair tips for men
- Prevent hair loss by having a well-balanced diet. Foods high in vitamins and minerals such as iron, zinc and vitamin B12 can help to revitalise thinning hair, so eat lots of leafy greens, nuts, beans, fish and lean meats. A good dietary supplement can also help cover whatever your diet is lacking.
- Just as heat is harmful to the hair, so are the multiple chemical processing treatments offered in salons. Chemically straightening or lightening your hair causes damage to the hair shaft, weakening it and resulting in hair loss.
- If you perspire a lot or live in a humid country, consider daily shampooing to keep your hair looking good. Combined with regular scalp-cleansing treatments, this stimulates the scalp and prevents the build-up of residues from pollution, dead skin cells and styling hair products for men.
