Did you know that to have beautiful hair, you need to use the right products, but also pay attention to what you put on your plate? Taking care of your hair also means paying attention to your diet, because as Christophe Nicolas Biot often says: "What happens on the inside, shows on the outside". So what's good for your skin and figure is also good for your hair. That's why, with the arrival of summer, it's time to make good resolutions and pay attention to what you put on your plate to maintain beautiful hair.
Acid-base balance
Today, our diet, made up of processed products, is essentially acidic, to the detriment of basic substances known as alkalis. This imbalance creates dysfunctions and is harmful to skin, hair and health in general. On the hair side, this generally translates into problems such as greasy hair, hair loss, dandruff... Hair is polluted and suffocated by poor nutrition.
Hair is the barometer of health, and poor general health is often revealed by hair loss or thinning hair. In such cases, a change of diet is imperative.
Each hair root is fed by blood. As a result, hair accumulates toxic substances circulating in the body. A balanced acid-base diet is therefore essential. Detoxifying herbal teas, minerals and alkaline baths are ideal.
Christophe Nicolas Biot, a great believer in the alkaline diet, offers the Maison de Coiffure all the information and products you need to follow Dr. Jentschura's alkaline cure.
