Nutrition is important when it comes to caring for your hair. If you are colouring it, straightening it, perming it or using a hair dryer you also increase your chances of hair loss.

Air conditioning, chemicals in shampoos and hair products, hair dyes, gels, sprays etc. all take their toll. Yes, food and illnesses do affect hair loss but don’t blame it all on your ill health if you are using the above toxic substances.
