5 EASY RECIPES THAT YOUR HAIR WILL LOVE – HAIR STRENGTHENING AT HOME IN WINTER

In the previous part of our blog, we began exploring the topic of hair strengthening. We aimed to recommend fruits and vegetables that can greatly support the health of your hair, and they are also delicious if you take a few minutes to prepare them.

Hair strengthening at home will be the focus of the second part of our blog as well. Furthermore, fruits and vegetables remain in the spotlight since many ingredients in our kitchen might be more beneficial when consumed rather than used as a hair mask.

This time, we’ve gathered vegetables and fruits that will protect your hair from the harsh winter conditions. On gloomy, frosty winter mornings, many of us don’t want to get out of bed, which is understandable as our bodies’ vitamin reserves might be depleted by the end of the year. The same goes for our hair! We can’t emphasize enough that hair strengthening is possible at home. Nourishing your hair is essential in every season, but winter poses the real challenge.

We’ve compiled 5 surefire recipes that your hair will love, and while ensuring your natural shine, you’ll also enjoy a tasty meal! Here are 5 vegetables and fruits that shouldn’t be missing from your plate in winter.

1. PUMPKIN

WINTER INDULGENCE!

A true versatile classic. Its color hints at its beta-carotene content. Additionally, it is rich in vitamins A and C. Copper, which is also found in pumpkin, has a favorable effect on our hair.

Copper is a fundamental component of melanin (the pigment that gives hair its color). By ensuring adequate copper intake, we have a powerful weapon against graying and fading.

MAPLE SYRUP PUMPKIN – SPICY SNACKS FOR TEA TIME!

Ingredients:

Cut the pumpkin into thin slices, then toss them in a bit of olive oil and drizzle with maple syrup. Add a pinch of salt and some paprika. Place the slices on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) until tender. Enjoy warm.

2. LEMON

THE POWER OF VITAMIN C!

Lemon is incredibly helpful in maintaining both beauty and health. It helps boost collagen production and, with its toning effect, cleanses and disinfects. The vitamin C it contains aids in iron absorption and increases the resilience of hair strands.

Interesting fact: According to research, lemon is the only food that contains anions, which are negatively charged ions. This can neutralize the electrical charge of hair, providing significant help for uneven, thin hair.

Moreover, it excellently conditions dry and brittle hair. Treating dry, damaged, and stressed hair is no easy task, and getting rid of these problems might seem impossible, but it’s not!

LEMON WATER - DON'T JUST EAT IT, DRINK IT TOO!

Ingredients:

Halve the lemon. Squeeze the juice of one half into a glass. Cut the other half into wedges or slices. Add cold mineral water to the freshly squeezed lemon juice, and finally, mix in the mint or basil leaves.

3. BROCCOLI

ITALIAN REMEDY!

It’s safe to say that zinc is one of the most important minerals for our hair. Hair strengthening at home? With zinc? Yes! It’s crucial to pay attention to zinc intake since many hair-related issues, such as hair loss and thinning, are often caused by a lack of zinc.

Broccoli is rich in zinc and also contains several other essential vitamins. It’s also a source of folic acid, which plays a vital role in iron absorption. Interestingly, the combination of zinc, folic acid, and B vitamins in broccoli can even delay hair graying.

BROCCOLI PASTA – NOURISHING, HEALTHY LUNCH ITALIAN STYLE!

Ingredients:

Separate the broccoli into smaller pieces and chop the tomatoes. Steam the broccoli until tender, then add the tomato slices and cook briefly with the broccoli. Cook the pasta in the broccoli water. Drain the pasta and sauté with the cream for a few minutes, then add the broccoli and tomatoes. Finally, top with pesto.

4. PLUM

REVITALIZATION!

One of the stars on our list is the plum, recommended for its high iron content. Iron plays a crucial role in supplying oxygen to hair follicles. For effective hair strengthening at home, iron ensures proper oxygenation for the hair follicles.
Due to its iron content, fresh or dried plums can address several issues such as hair dryness, discoloration, thinning, and breakage of hair ends. All these problems can be linked to iron deficiency.

Plums are rich in beta-carotene and vitamin A, both vital for building strong and healthy hair. However, due to the beneficial effects of plums on our digestive system, it’s essential to consume them in moderation and consider other alternatives for oxygenation.

PLUM-BACON ROLLS – TAKE CARE OF YOUR HAIR EVEN WITH THE APPETIZER!

Ingredients:

Cut the bacon slices into 2-3 pieces each, then wrap each plum with a piece of bacon. Pierce each with a toothpick and place the bites on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 10-15 minutes. Serve warm.

5. BANANA

GENTLE CARE!

Thanks to its natural oil, vitamin, and carbohydrate content, the banana can serve the purpose of hair strengthening in ways that few fruits or vegetables can match. Its remarkable potassium content is responsible for the elasticity, softness, and shine of our hair. It hydrates and contributes to preserving hair color.

However, bananas are slightly high in carbohydrates, so it’s best to use them sparingly. Therefore, we recommend another effective option:

NUTELLA BANANA SMOOTHIE – THE ELIXIR OF ENERGETIC MORNINGS!

Ingredients:

Cut the banana into small pieces, then blend it with the milk, Nutella, and vanilla sugar until creamy.

Hair strengthening at home isn’t a difficult task if we keep in mind that continuity of care is one of the most important aspects. It’s worth paying attention to maintaining regularity to ensure that our hair is always adequately nourished, thus preserving its health.

While the quality of our hair may be a genetic predisposition, we have the power to decide on the appropriate care for our hair type. Our hair perceives and reacts to all external and internal influences affecting our body. In many cases, if it doesn’t receive the proper personalized care, it can become problematic.

The foods we consume daily influence our well-being, health, and the condition of our hair. Therefore, the most routine and natural care we can provide is by paying attention to our diet.

It’s important to strive every day to ensure that the right nutrients, vitamins, and trace elements enter our bodies, preferably in natural rather than synthetic forms, in the form of fruits and vegetables. Just as the development of problems is a process, so is progress and healing, which are worth investing time and energy into.

We also recommend our oxygen therapy treatment, which helps with hair strengthening among other benefits. Oxygen therapy fundamentally nourishes hair follicles with vitamins and replenishes them with valuable minerals using medical oxygen. This guarantees natural hair growth and strengthening.

Trust in the healing power of nature for your hair!
