Ancient Secrets to Achieve Healthier Hair
The Problem with Modern Hair Care
In today’s world, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of hair products promising instant results. The trouble is, 99% of all commercial hair products are mostly synthetic and contain harsh chemicals that affect hormones, gut health and hair quality over time.
On average, women use over 186 different chemicals on their skin and body throughout the day. This is insane when there are actually amazing natural remedies available, you just need to know where to look. True hair health starts from within, relying on age-old practices that nourish and protect naturally.
Here are some tried-and-tested steps rooted in nutrient-rich, natural living that can transform your hair health from the inside out. Each one returning to simple, bioavailable, and functional nutrition.
Here are five things you need to be doing for better hair:
1. Nourish from Within
Your hair’s health is a mirror of what you feed your body. For stronger, fuller hair, incorporate nutrient-dense foods like grass-fed meats, organ meats, and bone broth. These are rich in bioavailable vitamins A, D, E, and K, essential for cellular regeneration and hair growth. Homemade bone broth and collagen supplements further fortify your hair, promoting elasticity and reducing breakage.
2. Prioritise Gut Health
A healthy gut supports healthy hair. Foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, and kefir, all brimming with probiotics, help balance the microbiome, which plays a pivotal role in nutrient absorption. Quality water also matters, tap water often contains chlorine and heavy metals, which can disrupt hormones and weaken hair.
3. Ditch Toxic Products
Conventional hair products are often laden with harsh chemicals like sulfates and synthetic fragrances that strip your hair’s natural oils, leading to dryness and damage. Instead, switch to natural cleansers like olive oil or beef tallow soap, which gently nourish without the synthetic buildup. Another age-old remedy? Wash your hair with eggs. Packed with biotin and proteins, they cleanse and fortify your hair naturally, aligning with our belief in the power of unprocessed, whole ingredients.
4. Detox Your Environment
Environmental toxins are more prevalent than you might think, and they can disrupt hormone balance, affecting hair growth. Minimise exposure by avoiding plastic, choosing natural cleaning products, and ensuring clean indoor air quality. Hydration is equally essential, spring water or properly filtered water, paired with electrolytes, keeps your hair follicles hydrated and robust. This commitment to detoxification reflects our dedication to holistic, ancestral health that honours the body’s natural processes.
5. Nourish Externally
Weekly treatments can make a significant difference in hair texture and strength. Use extra virgin olive oil as a hair mask to lock in moisture and protect against oxidative damage. Alternatively, try beef tallow, which is packed with vitamins and healthy fats that deeply nourish and restore. At Organised, we believe in the power of these time-tested remedies that work in harmony with the body, just as nature intended.
True Beauty Comes from Natural Ingredients
True hair health isn’t about quick fixes or artificial products. It’s about feeding your body with nutrient-dense foods and embracing holistic practices that support natural beauty from the inside out.
Start with one step at a time, and watch your hair and overall well-being thrive.
