Adaptability of food supplements according to hair types
Each hair type has specific characteristics and may require supplements to maintain its health and vitality. Hair needs may vary whether it is dry, damaged, oily, thin or thick.
Dry and damaged hair: which supplements are most suitable?
If you have dry and damaged hair, choose food supplements rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins, such as:
Vitamins A and vitamins E : antioxidants, they protect the hair from external aggressions and oxidative stress.
B vitamins : nourish and strengthen the hair fiber.
Omega -3 : nourishes the scalp and moisturizes the hair.
-
Zinc .
In case of dull and fragile hair, you can also opt for supplements based on keratin, brewer's yeast and spirulina.
Oily or oily hair: what are the risks and benefits of supplements?
Oily hair is a common problem that affects around 40% of the population in France. They are caused by excessive production of sebum by the sebaceous glands of the scalp. This sebum, which has the function of protecting the hair and scalp, can make them greasy, heavy and difficult to comb.
For people with oily hair, dietary supplements are generally safe. On the contrary, some, such as those based on zinc, vitamin B6, nettle or brewer's yeast extract, can help regulate sebum production and improve the condition of the scalp.
However, it is always recommended to consult a healthcare professional before taking any dietary supplements, especially if you are following other treatments.
Fine or thick hair: how to choose the right supplements?
Is your hair lacking volume? Favor food supplements rich in sulfur amino acids (cystine and methionine) and B vitamins, which help to strengthen the structure of fine hair and give it more thickness.
For thick hair, supplements based on vitamins A and E, essential fatty acids and zinc nourish, deeply hydrate and protect the hair from external aggressions.
