Evaluate Your Protein Intake

Evaluate Your Protein Intake Healthy hair relies on adequate protein intake, so if you aren’t getting enough, your hair could be paying the price.

Adding just a couple of servings of protein to your daily diet can revamp your hair. However, if you are getting enough, adding more probably won’t do much for you.
