In the 21st century, hair-related problems emerged as one of the most problematic concerns of our lives. Many factors contribute to our dull, damaged, brittle, and falling hair, and our sedentary lifestyle and environmental pollution mainly lead to these issues. These include poor hair care routine & dietary habits, using overheated styling equipment, chemical treatments, and sun overexposure, among others. With all these problems in place, protein is the ultimate solution for reviving our lost hair texture and strength. Just like protein improves our body's internal health, we also need it for our daily hair care rituals to keep our tresses healthy and strong.
Proteins are the chemical building blocks of our body called 'amino acids that help us build and repair muscle bones. Similarly, our hair comprises a particular protein called 'keratin,' which should be strengthened and improved by protein. So when our hair feels limp, weak, or lifeless, it may indicate protein deficiency. But when we add protein to the hair care regimen, it boosts our hair with various nutrients that reconstruct and strengthen hair strands, making it strong from the inside. One way to pamper our hair with protein is by using Ayurvedic protein-enriched hair oil, suggests Dr. Sanchit Sharma, Founder & Executive director, AIMIL AYOUTHVEDA. He shares insights on how Ayurvedic oil enriches hair.
