Hair and Nails

Hair and Nails 

There are a lot of beauty trends now days concerning hair and nails...The Anti-aging hair products are a part of the last trend for hair care. AGING HAIR ?!... Yes, exactly and they even say there are like 8 signs of aging hair, or the hair stylist would tell you to buy some specific products, or to use a specific anti-aging hair elixir, because, you know, your hair ages with you!!! Freaking hilarious...

Just stop this marketing madness... How can your hair be aging when it is already dead? Yes, both your hair and nails are made of dead cells. Imagine if they were alive. It would be a torture to get a haircut or to clip your nails would be like the bravest thing in the world. But that elixir thingy sounds kind of dark if it can bring the dead back to life...;) 

Damage made to the hair body cannot be repaired by biological processes, but by the help of cosmetology, much can be done to  improve hair and to make sure that the hair cuticle remains intact. But this is another topic. Thank you lord for cosmetology!!! :)

Hair care on the other hand is essential, because the living parts of hair, such as the hair follicle, hair root, root sheath, and sebaceous gland, are beneath the skin. If the scalp is not washed in a regular manner, it can create a breeding ground for infection. The scalp skin must be kept healthy and clean, for a healthy hair production.

What I am saying is that care of the hair and care of the scalp skin may seem like they are different routines, but they are essentially intertwined, because hair grows from beneath the skin. 

It is better to stick with the basics that are proven to be good for your hair. New doesn't always mean better!...  I will not mention any hair care brand name, just yet. But please, tell me in the comments if you have a holy grail hair product.  

What about nails? It is said that having a biotin supplement is going to make your hair and nails much stronger. I have had biotin for about 2-3 months before. But I have noticed that it is more the food intake that does the job. I will tell you a little story to illustrate this better.

10-15 years ago I found a little kitten in the steps of my apartment. He was so small, thin and scared. His fur was full of bald patches and he had tearful eyes. I just couldn't resist and brought him home. For about two weeks my family gave him a special diet, which consisted mostly of proteins. We boiled 2-3 eggs and he ate them daily, beside other things. After approximately one month you would not recognize him. His fur was shiny, healthy, and he was full of energy... 

I gave you this example because it is not much different for us, too. Your diet is essential and it reflects in your  skin, hair and your overall wellness. Eat as healthy as you can, take care of your hygiene routines and you will have a great canvas for make up, hair styles and nail art. 

That's my two cents for today.
