It was always such a problem trying to simply style my thin and brittle hair. The shampoos and conditioners work but my scalp always reverted to dry and flaky with thin brittle hair. While trying to get my hair to look as long and voluminous like Rapunzel’s, I came across nutritional supplements to promote the same.
Nourish yourself to longer and thicker hair by adopting some foods into your diet. Gear up and get your bands ready for buns and ponytails for your long thick luscious mane. These hair healthy nutrients include zinc, protein, selenium and biotin. Protein and biotin are especially quite vital for stimulating hair growth and promoting thickness.
