Hair and nails: how to strengthen them naturally (complete guide)

To stimulate hair growth , all advice is good to take. Food supplements, rich in vitamins, minerals and plant extracts, are very often used to have longer and healthier hair.

How to promote hair growth?

To promote faster hair growth , it is useful to know and understand the life of hair.

Hair grows from its root, which develops under the scalp within a small envelope called the hair follicle. It emerges from the root through the papilla, positioned at the base of the root and through which blood arrives and nourishes it. This mechanism will allow the hair to grow.

In a second step, blood circulates from the papilla to the matrix, in which the hair's reproductive cells are located.

The life cycle of a hair varies depending on each person's genetic makeup. For a man, it is generally 3 years, while for a woman, it can be up to 4 and a half years.

The best tips for growing your hair quickly.

Factors that affect hair growth

Some people have no difficulty growing their hair , while others find that it is almost non-existent.

Hair growth varies from person to person, depending on health issues, age, and hair type. Straight hair grows faster than kinky hair, for example.

Hair growth also depends largely on the blood supply to the root, and therefore on diet. In addition, the health of the hair root must be taken into account; its development must not be disrupted by impurities that could suffocate it and slow hair growth.

Finally, seasonal changes influence hair growth. During the summer, hair growth is stimulated by the sun, while during winter and autumn, this process is slower.

Food supplements, the beauty solution for hair

While a healthy, balanced diet is essential for maintaining healthy hair, sometimes a little boost is appreciated to stimulate hair growth or slow hair loss .

Various factors in daily life such as stress, emotional disorders, nutritional deficiencies, the use of unsuitable hair products, certain illnesses or even taking certain medications can be responsible for excessive hair loss and make it much more fragile.

The food supplement represents a one-off aid to prevent these problems and compensate for a dietary deficiency in various nutrients.

Today, there are a large number of "Beauty" or "Hair" food supplements in the form of capsules, tablets or even gummies . They often contain B vitamins (including biotin/B8) and/or plant extracts that support the quality of the hair fiber.

Biotin, better known as vitamin B8, is frequently cited for hair beauty. It participates in the production of keratin (a major protein in hair) and thus contributes to strength and shine.

The effectiveness of beauty food supplements

Targeted hair beauty supplements are suitable and appropriate for everyone.

However, each hair fiber has specific needs : fighting dandruff, relieving a sensitive scalp, limiting hair loss, stimulating hair growth following excessive hair loss or repairing hair lengths damaged by styling appliances and/or repeated coloring.

It's true that people who want to take care of their hair have a very specific beauty routine : shampoos that promote hydration, masks and treatments to nourish the lengths, gentle and regular brushing to limit tangles or even less frequent use of heating appliances to prevent hair breakage. Nutrient supplements (vitamins, minerals, plant extracts) will accompany and complete this beauty routine to ensure healthy hair.

  • Purify and cleanse the scalp ;
  • Strengthen the hair fiber and limit breakage;
  • Slow down hair loss;
  • Boost hair growth.

Delicure hair food supplement

Délicure's “Hair & Nails” food supplement

 

Délicure now offers Hair & Nail Capsules based on stinging nettle , horsetail extract and bamboo extract (source of silica ). This plant-based combination, made in France, aims to support the quality of keratin, strengthen the hair fiber and contribute to the appearance of the nail.


Vegetable silica (bamboo & horsetail) + nettle

Silica extracted from bamboo and horsetail is a classic in "hair & nails" formulas. It contributes to the strength and appearance of the hair fiber. Nettle , traditionally used in herbal medicine, completes the approach by providing plant compounds useful for the hair.

Dosage & program duration

3 capsules per day , preferably during a meal with a glass of water. For visible and lasting results, aim for a 2 to 3 month program, renewable if necessary.

Directions for use

Make taking it part of a regular routine (breakfast or lunch) so you don't forget. Combine the treatment with a healthy lifestyle (diverse diet, stress management, gentle hair routine) to optimize growth.

As a precaution, seek medical advice if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, have a child, or are taking medication. This supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.

Focus on Délicure's "Absolute Relaxation" gummies

Alongside a hair treatment, it is possible to combine it with other food supplements offered by Délicure.

In particular, the “stress” gummies , which are composed of a patented saffron extract, the most concentrated extract in active ingredients on the market, and vitamin B6.

Indeed, stress can cause hair loss . Managing stress can therefore help protect the scalp and encourage more peaceful growth.

Beauty advice from Délicure

In addition to an internal treatment that nourishes the hair fiber from the inside and supports growth, it is strongly recommended to use natural treatments based on vegetable oils .

They nourish the hair from the outside and some of them participate in the microcirculation of the scalp. They should preferably be "organic" and 100% natural.

Castor oil, for example, is known to promote faster, healthier hair growth.

To make your hair grow faster, gently massage your roots with a few drops of organic oil once a week. This treatment is just as beneficial for your nails.
