Are you seeing more hair on your chin and less on your head? Could this be a hormone imbalance? Could this be that you have a vitamin deficiency?

These questions are just some of what’s asked when you see chin hair increasing and hair on your head decreasing. Funny as this scenario can be, it actually happens to women, especially those transitioning through menopause.

Guess what? It can happen to you even if you’re not having challenges with menopause. So what’s a girl to do?

You can start with Eating the Right Foods in order to have healthy hair. This is a good place to begin, after all you are what you eat and your hair is part of the body you’re feeding.

There are some people that will not take meat out of their diet if their life depended on it. I know I’ve seen this happen. But according to Dr. Oz and co-author Dr. Rozin, there is a connection between animal fat and people going bald. A high fat diet leads to the production of dihydrotestosterone, also known as DHT. DHT is known to cause severe damage to your hair follicles. It blocks proteins and vitamins from nourishing your follicles.

Black Hair Care and You’re A B C’s …Vitamins that is!

Vitamin D – There have been studies done that indicate not getting enough Vitamin D can actually lead to hair loss. Good news! As long as you’re getting adequate amounts of sunlight, your body will produce its own Vitamin D. What is an adequate amount of sunlight? At least 30 minutes a day, before noon and after 3:00pm.

Vitamin A – is known to encourage healthy black hair. It aids in keeping your hair follicles lubricated by promoting healthy sebum or natural oil on your scalp.

Vitamin C – we typically think of Vitamin C for getting rid of flu and cold symptoms. But Vitamin C like Vitamin E is an antioxidant and it improves the amount of blood that circulates to your scalp. This is important for growing healthy hair.

Vitamin B Complex – This vitamin might be considered a food within itself. It contains biotin, (which is known to prevent premature graying and promotes hair growth), panthenol, (prevents hair loss) and niacin (which increases circulation to your scalp).

Green Foods for Growing Your Beautiful Black Hair

Kale, spinach and broccoli are excellent sources of Vitamin A and C that your body needs to produce sebum (oil produced by your body). Having these veggies as part of your nutritional intake, they are bound to help you produce your body’s hair conditioner, naturally.

Water is your body’s natural source for hydration. Dehydration is responsible for dull, ashy gray skin as well as your dry brittle hair.

Stress and Your Beautiful Black Hair

Stress is no stranger to your black skin and hair. But you can seek out tranquil and relaxing environments that will help ease your mind. Meditation, yoga or even a relaxing walk will increase your blood circulation and help you relax.

A good nights sleep will naturally help you rejuvenate your body and mind. A warm oil scalp massage, two to three times a week, will help stimulate and moisturize your scalp, thereby helping you to relax and sleep well.

No matter what type of hair you were born with, these suggestions can help you keep your beautiful black hair healthy and stimulate its growth.
