Dietary Trichology

Meaning ❉ Dietary Trichology speaks to the direct relationship between what we consume and the structural well-being of textured hair. This field considers how specific nutrients contribute to the unique growth patterns and distinct strength found in coils, kinks, and waves, moving beyond surface-level attention to foundational support. Understanding this connection allows for a more predictable approach to hair health, transforming routine care into a thoughtful system where internal inputs reliably support external efforts. It encourages a deliberate approach to dietary choices, recognizing their tangible impact on hair density, strength, and moisture retention for Black and mixed-race hair. This perspective highlights the deep understanding of internal care, aligning personal wellness with the vibrant expression of one’s heritage hair.
