You run your fingers through your hair and notice a few extra strands. The bathroom drain clogs up a little faster. Your hairbrush suddenly looks fuller than usual. And before you know it, you’re wondering if something is seriously wrong.
The truth is, seasonal hair fall is quite common. Many people notice more hair shedding during the monsoon or when the weather begins to change. Humidity, temperature shifts, stress on the scalp and even changes in your routine can all play a role. While it’s normal to lose around 50 to 100 strands a day, seasonal shedding can make it feel like you’re losing much more.
The first instinct for many of us is to buy a new shampoo or invest in an expensive hair serum. But healthy hair doesn’t begin in a bottle. It starts with what you eat.
Hair needs protein, iron, healthy fats, vitamins and antioxidants to grow well. If your body isn’t getting enough of these nutrients, your hair is often one of the first places where it shows.
The good news? Some of the best foods for your hair have probably been sitting in your kitchen all along.
