-
Eating Animal Proteins: Let's start with the foundation of hair health—nutrition. Incorporating ample animal proteins into your diet can work wonders for your mane. Rich in essential nutrients like keratin, animal proteins help in strengthening hair strands, promoting growth, and adding a natural shine. Remember to opt for locally-sourced, organic, pasture-raised, grass-fed, and regeneratively farmed when possible. Wild caught SMASH fish (salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, herring) provide powerful omega-3 fatty acids for hair and skin health.
-
Stopping Hormonal Birth Control: Surprising, isn't it? Hormonal birth control can impact your hair health. Some women experience changes in hair texture and thickness due to hormonal fluctuations. If you're considering a change, consult with your healthcare practitioner about your options. To learn more about the symptothermal method, a Fertility Awareness Based Method, read here! To regulate your hormones and cycles, try my organic Soothe tincture.

Shampooing Less: Give your hair a break! Over-shampooing can strip away natural oils, leaving your hair dry and prone to breakage. Opt for a simple and natural shampoo and consider washing your hair less frequently to maintain its natural oils and balance.
-
Hair Oiling (Including Amla Oil): Indulge your hair in some much-needed TLC with regular oiling. Amla oil, in particular, is a powerhouse for hair health. Packed with antioxidants and essential fatty acids, it nourishes the scalp, strengthens hair follicles, and promotes overall hair growth. Massage your scalp with warm amla oil and let it work its magic.
-
Rosemary Hair Mist Oil: Say hello to a refreshing and aromatic addition to your hair care routine. Rosemary hair mist oil not only provides a delightful fragrance but also stimulates blood circulation in the scalp, promoting hair growth. Mix a few drops of rosemary essential oil with a carrier oil, and spritz it on your hair for a revitalizing experience. *Recipe coming soon to my social media & blog posts!
