Never again in the molt

The temperature drops and the leaves flutter down from the trees. But not only those leaves are fluttering down. I don't know how it is for you, but my pillow is already full of hair in the morning, and wearing a light sweater is currently not the best idea.

In the autumn, some people lose more hair than usual. Sounds crazy, but it is something explainable. Do you remember I told you why you really need melatonin? This hormone is not only responsible for your sleep, but also for your hair growth cycle. It becomes more active with a lot of sunlight. In spring and summer, your hair grows faster and is stronger than in autumn. In the fall, the days get shorter and we get less sunlight on our heads, resulting in a melatonin deficiency. Your hair then becomes brittle, grows slower, and falls out earlier. So it's time to give that mane a boost. And with this.

1. Eggs

By now we know that cracking an egg in the morning fights off that snack attack around eleven o'clock. But that same egg is also very good for a healthy mane. It is a source of biotin and vitamin B, which ensure healthy locks. Not a fan? Then unroasted nuts, fatty fish, and avocado are good alternatives. Add eggs to your diet. It doesn't matter if they are fried, boiled, or scrambled, eggs are an amazingly simple source of biotin and vitamin B. Biotin (B8) is not only easily obtained through eggs, but also through peanuts, almonds, salmon, and avocados.

2. Meat

I am not a big meat eater and you will never find a piece of pork on my plate. Still, a pork tenderloin now and then is not a bad idea. This meat contains all the vitamin B you need and helps transport oxygen to the skull with the help of red blood cells.

3. Spinach

Folic acid and iron in green leafy vegetables not only give us a boost during our monthly celebration, but they also strengthen our hair roots, making your hair grow easier and faster.

4. Lentils

Replace your piece of meat a bit more often with a spoonful of lentils or beans. They contain a lot of fiber and iron, which in turn ensures shiny and strong locks. By adding vitamin C, the iron is better absorbed.

5. Spice it up

An extra red pepper in your pasta sauce or rice dish does your hair a lot of good. They contain a lot of vitamin C, iron, and collagen. With this perfect cocktail, oxygen is well transported to your hair roots.

6. Sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes contain a lot of beta-carotene and vitamin A, so they are not only good for a healthy mane, but also for the rest of the body.

7. Oysters

You love it or you hate it, but the slimy stuff is packed with zinc and thus helps repair tissue. Zinc ensures that the sebaceous glands around the hair follicles work well, which in turn leads to healthy and shiny hair full of resilience.

8. Nuts and seeds

Unroasted nuts and seeds provide zinc in the body. By regularly taking a handful (not overdoing it, of course), you also keep dandruff at bay. So don't overdo it, as too much zinc (for example, through a supplement) can limit copper absorption in your body.
