Healthy Foods for Our
Nappy Hair
Have you ever wanted to have shiny black hair? As a child growing up, I had always wanted long straight black hair, kind of like Wonder Woman. Silly as it sounds today, I actually thought that long straight black hair would not only get me a lot of male attention but also popularity. In today’s society, long shiny black hair has come to symbolize beauty, youth, vitality, and good health. Keeping healthy hair is not only a sign of good physical health but also demonstrates an outer reflection of a deeper and more grounded state of self-love. Hair is the first thing people see and it’s the crown that channels energy into the body through health. It is the first place in the human body that absorbs any energy such as food from internal and external environments. Once you begin to understand that, you realize the importance of nourishing your hair and in doing so you are also satisfying the needs of our vital organs for optimal health.
A healthy balance diet filled with vitamins and nutrients such as Vitamin A, C, B6, B12%2 is a great place to start. With the picture above, Yogurt is a great source of vitamins for your body internally and externally. Yogurt spreads easily along the hair shaft coating it with nourishing ingredients. The protein in Yogurt strengthens hair strands which aids in hair preservation. The fatty acid in yogurt will help shine and smooth tangled hair, making it easier to comb which results in luscious hair. Yogurt also acts as a gentle cleanser, working to clear the pores of your scalp and eliminating dandruff. Like tomatoes and banana, yogurt also strengthens hair follicles. The enzymes in yogurt will combat dandruff and help soothe an itchy scalp. Hair that is dry or worn out from over styling would really benefit from a Yogurt hair mask.
