1. Be Realistic
You also need to plan in advance and start your Wedding Hairstyles Diet well before your big day. It's good to be in the swing of your hair diet six months before your wedding, and to be totally honest the things recommended in the diet are really lifestyle improvements— meaning you should try and implement them anyhow. Stick with your usual hair care routine too and don't neglect essential things like getting your split ends trimmed every six to eight weeks and using a deep conditioning treatment every fortnight or so (if your hair is chemically treated speak to your hairstylist about more regular conditioning treatments).
2. Make Sure You're Eating the Following...
Your Wedding Hairstyles Diet involves eating some essential food and vitamins. Make sure you're drinking/eating plenty of the following:
- Water. Get used to drinking plenty of water. A good rule of thumb is not to wait until you're thirsty as this means your body has already lost too much water, and don't drink so much that you're running to the toilet every hour. Water gives you soft, supple, silky and shiny hair. Skip the soft drinks and drink water instead.
- Fiber and vitamins. Fiber from fruits, vegetables and grains is excellent for the health of your hair. Certain vitamins, also from fruits, vegetables, eggs, cereals, milk, bread nuts and seeds are also ideal; for example vitamin A in dark green vegetables like broccoli and orange colored fruits and vegetables like apricots, carrots and sweet potatoes is good for the skin and scalp. Vitamin B and vitamin C are excellent for hair growth and hair color.
- Protein and sulfur. Protein gives hair strength and will help prevent it splitting. Protein rich foods include fish, meat, cereals, cheese and milk. Sulfur is similar to protein in that it plays a strong structural role in the health of your hair. Eggs, garlic and onions contain sulfur.
- Phytoestrogens. These are plant compounds found readily in flaxseed, soybean and tofu. They are said by some to contribute to your general health, and healthy hair, but speak to your dietician for more advice.
