TOP 10 FOODS FOR HEALTHY HAIR

Healthy Hair Food No. 1: Salmon

When it comes to foods that pack a beauty punch, it's hard to beat salmon. Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, this high-quality protein source is also filled with vitamin B-12 and iron.

"Essential omega-3 fatty acids are needed to support scalp health," says Andrea Giancoli, MPH, RD, a dietitian in Los Angeles and a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. "A deficiency can result in a dry scalp and thus hair, giving it a dull look."

Vegetarian? Include one or two tablespoons of ground flaxseed in your daily diet for some plant-based omega-3 fats.

Healthy Hair Food No. 2: Dark Green Vegetables

Popeye the Sailor Man didn't eat all that spinach for healthy hair, but he could have. Spinach, like broccoli and Swiss chard, is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, which your body needs to produce sebum. The oily substance, secreted by your hair follicles, is the body's natural hair conditioner.

Dark green vegetables also provide iron and calcium.

Healthy Hair Food No. 3: Beans

Beans, beans, they're good for your ... hair?

Yes, it's true. Legumes like kidney beans and lentils should be an important part of your hair-care diet. Not only do they provide plentiful protein to promote hair growth, but ample iron, zinc, and biotin. While rare, biotin deficiencies can result in brittle hair.

Blatner, who is also a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, recommends three or more cups of lentils or beans each week.

Healthy Hair Food No. 4: Nuts

Do you go nuts for thick, shiny hair? You should.

Brazil nuts are one of nature's best sources of selenium, an important mineral for the health of your scalp.

Walnuts contain alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that may help condition your hair. They are also a terrific source of zinc, as are cashews, pecans, and almonds. A zinc deficiency can lead to hair shedding, so make sure nuts are a regular on your healthy hair menu.

 

Healthy Hair Food No. 5: Poultry

Chickens and turkeys may have feathers, but the high-quality protein they provide will help give you the healthy hair you crave.

"Without adequate protein or with low-quality protein, one can experience weak brittle hair, while a profound protein deficiency can result in loss of hair color," Giancoli tells WebMD.

Poultry also provides iron with a high degree of bioavailability, meaning your body can easily reap its benefits.

 

Healthy Hair Food No. 6: Eggs

When it comes to healthy hair, it doesn't matter whether you like your eggs scrambled, fried, or over easy. However they're served up, eggs are one of the best protein sources you can find.

They also contain biotin and vitamin B-12, which are important beauty nutrients.

Healthy Hair Food No. 7: Whole Grains

Sink your teeth into hearty whole grains, including whole-wheat bread and fortified whole-grain breakfast cereals, for a hair-healthy dose of zinc, iron, and B vitamins.

A whole-grain snack can also be a great go-to food when your energy is zapped halfway through the afternoon, and you've still got hours to go before dinner.

Healthy Hair Food No. 8: Oysters

Oysters may be better known for their reputation as an aphrodisiac, but they can also lead to healthy hair -- and who doesn't love that?

The key to their love and hair-boosting abilities is zinc -- a powerful antioxidant.

If oysters don't make a regular appearance on your dinner plate, don't despair. In addition to getting it from whole grains and nuts, you can also get zinc from beef and lamb.

 

Healthy Hair Food No. 9: Low-Fat Dairy Products

Low-fat dairy products like skim milk and yogurt are great sources of calcium, an important mineral for hair growth. They also contain whey and casein, two high-quality protein sources.

For some healthy hair foods "to-go," try throwing a yogurt or cottage cheese cup in your bag when you head out in the morning to snack on later in the day. You can even boost their hair benefits by stirring in a couple of tablespoons of ground flaxseeds or walnuts for omega-3 fatty acids and zinc

Healthy Hair Food No. 10: Carrots

Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, which promotes a healthy scalp along with good vision.

Since a healthy scalp is essential for a shiny, well-conditioned head of hair, you'd be wise to include carrots in your diet as snacks or toppings on your salad.

TIPS FOR GREAT SKIN...

When you meet people, what do they see?  Your face, your skin, that’s what.
Your skin condition can say a lot about your health and your lifestyle.  Did you
know that your skin is the largest organ of your body?  An adult human skin
weighs around 5kg (11lbs) and has a surface area of 2 sq. metres (22 sq.
feet), which is approximately the size of a double bed.  Even with your clothes
on that’s a lot of target for damage from the outside – injury, sunlight,
cigarette smoke, environmental pollution.  So your skin can be damaged by
what it is exposed to, and at the same time, it reflects internal emotions (e.g.
when you sweat or blush) and conditions (especially the health of your
digestive system).  The condition of your skin is closely dependant on what you
eat and drink.


Nutrition and Your Skin
Nutrition is fundamentally involved at every stage of your skin development.
Collagen makes up 70% of your skin and depends on vitamin C.  Dry, rough
skin (caused by the build up the protein keratin on the outer layers) can be
prevented by Vitamin A.  The membranes of skin cells are made from essential
fats.  Dry skin can be caused by a lack of these fats.  The flexibility of your
skin is reduced as you get older mainly because of oxidation damage caused
by free radicals – from pollution, cigarette smoke, fried and burnt foods,
sunlight.  This damage can be limited by nutrients such as vitamins A, C, E and
selenium.  Lack of zinc can lead to stretch marks and slow wound healing, and
is associated with a wide variety of skin problems from acne to eczema.


Foods to Keep You Young and Beautiful
Foods that can enhance your appearance need to feature as many of the
following as possible: antioxidants, antibacterials, fibre to clear toxins,
essential fats to support skin and reduced levels of saturated fat and sugar.
The sorts of foods where you’ll get this kind of combination are fresh fruit and
vegetables, wholegrains, fish, pulses, nuts and seeds.
So, to improve your skin, include the following in your diet:
 Apricots, cantaloupe melon, carrots, eggs, liver, pumpkin, red peppers,
watercress - contain Vitamin A and beta carotene.
 Blackcurrants, broccoli, citrus fruits, kiwi fruit, papaya, peppers, potatoes,
tomatoes, sweet potatoes and sprouted seeds – contain Vitamin C.
 Almonds, avocado, eggs, hazelnuts, olive oil, Sunflower seeds, walnuts –
contain Vitamin E.
 Brazil nuts, cabbage, chicken, eggs, liver, molasses, mushrooms, onions,
seafood, tuna – contain Selenium.
 Almonds, chicken, cauliflower, carrots, cucumber, eggs, oats, potatoes,
sardines, tuna – contain Zinc. reduce your intake of these:
 Alcohol
 Coffee/tea (no more than 2 cups per day)
 Sugar
 Saturated fat (found in meat and dairy products)
 Cigarettes
and think about these other factors:
 Avoid strong sunlight and use a moisturiser with at least SPF15 in (sunlight
causes oxidative damage and speeds the ageing process of your skin).
 Wash your skin with a gentle oil-based cleanser, not soap, and consider
what is in your skin products such as your moisturiser (many cosmetics
contains strong petroleum/alcohol based substances –remember these are
absorbed through the skin).
 Take regular exercise (it stimulates blood flow, which will enhance delivery
of oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells).
 Drink plenty of water (6-8 glasses per day (1- 1½ litres)) to hydrate the
skin.  Too little water can be a major factor in dry skin.
 Consider taking some nutritional supplements: a good quality multivitamin
and mineral supplement; vitamin C; an antioxidant blend (containing at
least vitamins A, C, E, zinc and selenium); and an essential fatty acid
supplement (linseed oil, fish oil or evening primrose oil or oil blend).
Remember supplements should be considered as an addition to a good diet
and healthy lifestyle, not a replacement for one.
 Use a skin brush for your body (upward strokes working from feet to torso)
and an exfoliation cream for your face.  Exfoliation helps to clear blocked
pores and smooth away dead, dry skin.


If that sounds a lot to think about, don’t let it put you off.  You can have the
skin you deserve, the skin that reflects a healthier you.  Just take it step by
step.  First introduce apricots, cantaloupe melon etc (the Vitamin A foods).
Then when you’ve worked through introducing the healthier range of foods,
start reducing the alcohol and sugar.  In no time at all you’ll be on the road to
better health and better skin....

7 steps for creating perfect smokey eye

STEP 1 – GETTING YOUR EYES READY

Begin by applying a light shade of concealer to the under eye area, and all over the top lid. Your mineral makeup foundation is a great concealer for this step and prepares your Eyes for the eyeshadow that you are going to apply.

STEP 2 – USING THE LINER

First, line both the top and bottom rims with an eye pencil, paying close attention to going into the lash line itself.

If you have small eyes apply liner starting from the middle of the under eye to the outside of the eye. If your eyes are large feel free to line from corner to corner.

Hint: If you are using liquid liner you can place dots on the lash line and then follow the dots to get a perfectly straight line. I knew those connect the dot puzzles I did as a kid would come in handy some day!

STEP 3 – ADDING THE SHADOW

With a small eye shadow brush or a q-tip, soften the edges of the eye pencil line.

Apply a dark shadow using a sponge-tip applicator, smudge brush or a q-tip directly over the penciled area and smudge. (If you prefer, you can use your finger tip.)

The shadow helps to set and soften the look.

STEP 4  - THE FINAL TOUCH

Next apply a lighter shadow in a neutral tone with a larger eye shadow brush, I like to use the wet/dry brush.

Encircling the entire eye area, be sure to soften and graduate outward for that perfect blended look.

Add Mascara!

STEP 5 – CLEANING UP THE “TERRITORY”

Brush away any shadow that has fallen below the eye with a fluffy brush and clean up any areas that have smeared with a q-tip.

STEP 6 - GOING SUPER-DRAMATIC

Want a more dramatic look add more Shadow and Mascara! If you are looking for the most dramatic effect be sure to curl those lashes and apply 2-3 coats of black mascara!

Hint: Want your eyes to look larger – Pull your liner upward when lining your bottom lashes instead of out from the top liner! This will make your eyes look larger and rounder!

STEP 7 – FINISHING UP THE LIPS

If you want to go for a classic smoky eye look, lightly line lips with a natural color and add some sheer color in peach, caramel, or barely there pink.
