Most complaints about hair color are not usually because of the color of the hair itself, but because the hair has a dry and lackluster appearance. You must remember that hair color is a product of genes and absolutely black hair is not an indication of good health. If this were the case, then most Caucasians with blond hair would be considered unhealthy. The task that you need to achieve is to revitalize your hair to the point where you see that dark brown turning auburn.
Hair and skin quality is a reflection of your general health. This is sometimes the reason why deficiencies in the body like vitamin B can result in lackluster hair that easily breaks off. Therefore, the first task is to treat the problem naturally by improving your diet. Malnutrition and under-nutrition are one of the chief reasons for bad hair – to the point that it can even cause alopecia or hair loss. You need to judge what your correct weight is by doing some research on your Body Mass Index or BMI – this will help you figure out if you are underweight or overweight. If you are underweight then you need to increase the amount of food you take according to the new diet, and if you are overweight, all you need to do is exercise while on the new diet.
The diet that you should follow is one that is rich in green leafy vegetables, soy, diary, legumes, and herbs. These will help you increase the amount of vitamins, minerals and trace elements that your body requires. Next is a healthy intake of water. Most people tend to drink water only when they are thirsty. This is incorrect and you must have two glasses of water every half hour. This will cause more urination and this will help your body to remove toxins from the system. This dietary change will take some time to show results, because hair grows rather slowly. Therefore, the next most important thing to do is to work on your hair. Start by applying olive oil to your hair and scalp. This should be done an hour before you go in for a shampoo and can be used whenever you want your hair to seem lustrous. While you can use any shampoo, it is important that you buy a good conditioner. Consult with a hair expert on the brands of conditioner to use. Ideally, you should use a conditioner that is a surfactant and has repairing qualities.
