EAT YOUR HAIR STRONG AND HEALTHY

And I said: ‘Just the tips...’

We've all experienced it at least once. That favorite hairdresser is no longer your favorite hairdresser. Goodbye long locks, and I said... Now I'm going to help you, darling, because with my tips I'll conjure up a few centimeters, okay: millimeter ponytail again in no time. Au naturel. You don't have to go to the Albert Cuyp or lay down hundreds of euros at the hairdresser. Just pure nature. In the context of saving, we only need to run to the Appie for a moment. Your shopping list will look like this for the time being:

1 Sweet potatoes. They are full of beta-carotene, which not only promotes hair growth but also gives you a healthy scalp.

2 Eggs. A boiled egg for breakfast or an omelet to take to work. Eggs contain a lot of omega 3 and biotin. And the latter is one of the most important vitamins against hair loss. So don't throw away the yolk, because too much protein blocks the absorption of biotin. Don't be scared of the yolk, sweetie.

3 Bell peppers are full of vitamin C. And vitamin C is full of antioxidants that strengthen your hair follicles.

4 Oysters. Hair breakage or hair loss often occurs due to a zinc deficiency. So slurp up those oysters.

5. Salmon. A delicious salad with smoked salmon tonight? Salmon is a vitamin and protein bomb. Proteins ensure a healthy scalp and also stimulate hair growth.

6. Nuts. A handful of nuts as a snack. Definitely do it. Really, superfood for your hair when it comes to stimulating hair growth. This snack contains magnesium and calcium as well as that biotin.

7. Last but not least: my favorite, especially in the fall. Brussels sprouts. And not as a mash, but in a delicious salad or from the oven. Mmmm... I can't wait.

8. When you want long locks, you really have to believe in it. Brussels sprouts are packed with folic acid. And that is important for healthy hair follicles (hair what?) and thus your hair growth. In addition, folic acid ensures good blood circulation, allowing the right nutrients to reach the scalp faster.

And um, a tip for next time. Do it a little differently. ‘No more than necessary’ can sometimes save you a few millimeters. That saves you a kilo of Brussels sprouts.
