Beauty From the Inside Out

The health of our hair, nails and skin reflects what’s going on inside our bodies. By focusing solely on aesthetic health from the outside it produces limited results.

  • Hair Health

    All components of the hair structure require nourishment and energy for growth.

    How does hair get damaged?

    Environment, hard water, stress, medications, hormones, chemical services, heat/mechanical friction.

  • Skin/Scalp Health

    Skin requires topical nourishment as well as internal.

    The scalp ages 6x faster.

    The scalp is the most porous skin and absorbs everything we put on it.

    Product buildup blocks the hair follicles.

  • Gut Health

    If microbes become unbalanced it can lead to inflammation which can trigger the skin.

    Your gut is like soil. You have to feed it nutritious food & good bacteria to support good digestion which affects the health of hair, nails & skin.

You aren’t what you eat. You aren’t what you digest. You are what you absorb!

“Virtually every nutritional deficiency can affect the health of our hair, nails & skin.” (George Washington School of Medicine)

Beauty Nutrients

Cell renewal, repair & turnover.Slows the aging process. Keeps scalp hydrated. Anti-inflammatory. Opens up hair follicle growth

Protein

Skin is primarily 25% protein. Produces collagen to fight wrinkles. Helps repair tissue. Carries nutrients to cells. Building blocks for healthy cells.

Carbs

This nutrient maintains skin integrity and structure. Slows hair loss. Speeds up follicle recovery (thicker hair!) Promotes cell reproduction, tissue growth.

Vitamins A, C, D, E

Essential vitamins synergistically support overall skin and hair health.

Vitamin A: prevents sun damage, fortifies the epidermis, and sustains scalp moisture for vibrant skin and healthy hair
Vitamin C: promotes healthy hair growth, collagen production, and combats dandruff

The process of creating a routine to support your specific hair type and texture.

A cycle of products that have different purposes but are all working together for a common goal of healthy, nourished hair.

Superfood Food-Hair Connection

One of the easiest ways you can take care of your hair is by eating a balanced diet, and certain deficiencies in your diet can cause hair loss. While there are several culprits, two of the most common are an iron deficiency and a vitamin B12 deficiency. You can take iron and B12 supplements, but these nutrients can also be found in many foods. Incorporate plenty of dark greens, nutrient-rich fruits like berries, and good proteins into your routine, and avoiding excess dairy, which has been linked to hair loss.

Berries

Berries are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants—both of which are key to protecting your hair and boosting collagen, which is essential for strengthening hair and keeping your tresses hydrated and smooth. 

Leafy Greens

While kale is a health food powerhouse, spinach is the true star. It has vitamin A and additional vitamin C, but also a great source of iron. While vitamin A helps the scalp to produce sebum, which moisturizes your scalp and hair, and iron promotes hair growth and repair. 

Eggs

Eggs are essential for two reasons: they are a great source of protein—which is key in preventing hair loss—and they are high in biotin, a vitamin known for its hair-growing powers.

Legumes

Nuts contain vitamins B and E, zinc, and fatty acids—all of which aid in overall hair health. Beans are also rich in zinc and contain additional hair-helping nutrients like biotin, iron, and folate. 

Vegetables

Red and yellow sweet bell peppers and sweet potatoes contain high concentrations of vitamin C, vitamin A, and beta-carotene.

Avocados

Avocados are packed with vitamin E and healthy fats that can repair hair damage.

Seafood

Shellfish are a good source of vitamin D and salmon has omega-3 fatty acids to promote healthy, shiny hair.
