When it comes down to it, research will tell you repeatedly that the best thing for your hair is a healthy diet full of protein. Research indicates that protein-deficient hair is less intense but as elastic as meat eaters. We must all of us, especially vegetarians and vegans, keep our hair away from heat and chemicals as much as possible to keep it as strong as possible.
Many vegans use supplements, but some who avoid meat may have weaker hair without proper supplementation. Nutritionists say that animal products provide us with large quantities of protein, vitamin B12, calcium, iron, omega-3 fats, vitamin D, and zinc. Foods naturally containing these nutrients are beans, nuts, whey, brown rice, and dark leafy greens. If you must add nutrients to your diet, take them as over-the-counter pills.
In short, the answer to the original question is no; a vegetarian diet will not end up helping you keep your hair healthy but will force you to take more measures to ensure your hair stays healthy.
Of course, it’s often impossible to reverse the effects of hair loss, no matter how healthy your diet or the supplements you’re taking. If you’re facing hair loss leading to a drop in self-esteem or confidence, it may be time to seek a solution, such as a scalp micropigmentation. The artists at Hairline Ink have years of experience giving back the appearance of a full head of hair through SMP.
