Nutritional Hair Care

Meaning ❉ Nutritional Hair Care, for textured hair, is the deliberate practice of providing both internal and external bio-available compounds to support the unique structure and growth cycles of coils, curls, and kinks. This approach recognizes that robust hair vitality, especially for Black and mixed-race hair, stems from cellular well-being, influencing strand resilience and moisture retention. It guides a systematized routine, where the consistent supply of specific nutrients—through diet, hydration, and targeted topical applications—acts as a foundational element for maintaining hair integrity. Practical application involves understanding how dietary elements like omega fatty acids or specific vitamins contribute to scalp health and fiber strength, leading to more predictable and sustained results in hair appearance and feel. This gentle, informed care acknowledges the distinct requirements of heritage hair, ensuring its sustained beauty from within.
