We've all experienced those moments in the supermarket, pharmacy or department store when it's time to choose a new hair care product. We begin to ask ourselves, “What’s the difference between these two brands?” and follow it up with, “is the difference really worth that much more? It’s all soap anyway, right?” Well, in fact choosing the store brand, or other significantly less expensive hair products can actually make a difference in performance. Bargain shopping is always a wise route, but when it comes to hair treatment, cheaper is not always better.


If choosing the right hair care products isn't daunting enough, imagine trying to choose one if you are wearing a wig or a hair replacement system. In this instance, it is wise to consult with your hair replacement clinic for a recommendation. Hair replacement specialists, such as the ones at Transitions of Indiana are familiar with your natural hair type, wig or hair replacement system, as well as your lifestyle, level of personal activity and a host of other factors that can help them make a professional recommendation.


Although, inexpensive products may seem more beneficial for your wallet, this is only a short-term fix. In order to maintain healthy hair, it's a good idea to discuss your options with a professional hair care specialist. Ensure your investment and hair is well taken care of by choosing Transitions of Indiana for your hair care needs. Visit TransitionsIndy.com to schedule a FREE hair and scalp analysis today!

If you look into nutrients needed for healthy hair and skin, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and the foods that contain them pop-up in almost all nutrition guides. So, what are they?

Nutrients Needed:

Vitamins
Vitamin C is a builder of the protein collagen. If you have watched or read ads for skin care products you may know that collagen is our skin’s primary connective tissue. When your skin does not get enough collagen, it sags and bags. Vitamin C is also an excellent antioxidant with properties capable of vaporizing free radicals (harmful chemicals) in the body. Free radicals damage body tissue, including hair follicles and skin. http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/skin/vitaminC/

Vitamin A is a healer. It helps repair and restore cells that might have been damaged. One way to get enough Vitamin A is to eat foods packed with beta-carotene, an antioxidant our liver converts into vitamin A.

Another skin “doctor” is Vitamin E. Vitamin E helps the body repair itself, prevents scarring, and is recommended for shiny, healthy looking hair. Vitamin E pumps up our red blood cells so they can haul more nutrients and oxygen to hair follicles and skin.

Vitamin B-Complex is an important supplement to add to your daily diet for overall health. B-Complex contains vitamins B5, B2, and biotin, all which promote cell growth.

Fatty Acids and Minerals
Essential fatty acids, Omega-3s and Omega-6s (GLA), help heal and moisturize skin and hair. Many of us do not get enough Omega-6 or GLA (gamma-linolenic acid). GLA is a moisturizing agent said to reduce hair loss, and is a natural treatment for dandruff, brittle nails, PMS and arthritis.

There are two mighty minerals that may help keep your hair and skin conditioned, known as Zinc and Selenium. Zinc promotes skin repair, fights acne and keeps the complexion looking fresh. The other mineral, Selenium, joins forces with vitamin E to hunt down free radicals and regulate metabolism. The E-selenium team also assists the body in properly processing food to help transport nutrients to our hungry cells.
