A Diet for Your Hair

Self Portrait Tuesday: Straight Hair

Over the years, I have lost a lot of hair. Unlike most people, I’m a little grateful for the loss. I used to be an afro-freak child. Every trip to get a haircut ended with the statement, “Hey, Buffy, come over hear and get a load of this freak’s hair!” There are probably men out there who fantasize about having the hands of three hairdressers ruffling through their hair, but as a child, it just made me feel like a defective.

My mom said that having children is how she lost her hair, but I don’t think so. At the same age my mom had me and my sister, I lost a considerable amount of hair. I, however, had no babies to blame it on. I guess it’s just an age thing.

Over at Yahoo!, this article claims to be able to help you grow healthy hair:

The recommendations are simple:

  • Eat plenty of iron-rich protein
  • Load up on Vitamin C
  • Be sure to get your Bs (folate, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12)
  • Don’t forget the Zinc

I never know what to think about diets like these. Yeah, all those macro-nutrients ARE important for a healthy diet. Will it grow hair? Man, I’m to the point of skepticism with ANYTHING that tells me it will make me lose weight. I’m sure there are people out there who feel the same about promises of hair growth. It all sounds like snake oil to me…
