Other tips

Gelatin is a great addition to hair care and maintenance, but also remember these important cornerstones of hair care:

• Protect your hair from the sun’s rays during the brightest hours of the day.  If you spend time on the beach or otherwise in direct sunlight, it is advisable to protect your hair with a hat or scarf. UV radiation can dry and lighten hair.
• Always prefer natural shampoos and hair products, and do not use paraffin-containing substances on your hair.
• Do not wash your hair with hot water as this will dry your hair. Prefer warm water and perform the last rinse with cold water: you will immediately notice how shiny your hair becomes.

• Brush your hair using a wide brush. Brush your hair gently, not tearing and shaking.
• Allow the hair to dry naturally, or use the cool setting of the hair dryer.

Flaxseed oil

Nuts

Nuts are one of the best ways to increase the amount of fatty acids in your diet. Enjoy a few handfuls of raw or roasted nuts a day, but avoid salted, oil-fried and otherwise processed nuts.
