Would you like to have healthy, shiny hair in 5 steps? It’s Your Lucky Day – Hair Loss Specialist, Dietitian and Best Selling Author Simone Thomas shares their expertise
Our scalp is an extension of our face, so it’s pretty important that we take good care of it, just like we do with a daily skin care routine.
We’ll easily spend £ 80 to £ 150 on face products and makeup, but how often do we actually indulge in professional hair and scalp products?
Or how often do we invest in additions specially designed and developed to protect the health of your hair and scalp?
If you want to keep your hair as shiny and healthy as possible, here are some simple lifestyle changes that can make all the difference to the health of your hair and scalp.
Here are five tips that you can incorporate into your everyday life …
Rule # 1 hydrate
Yes, it’s nothing new, but water (filtered or from a glass bottle) is so important in finding healthy skin, scalp, and hair. It helps replenish skin tissue, follicles, and the actual hair growth.
Water is fuel for the body – think of your body as a finely tuned car that won’t start or run the way you need it to without the right fuel or oil.
In addition, water moisturizes your body, organs and circulatory system and is an important source of minerals that are important for healthy hair growth.
Make sure you drink at least two liters a day and your hair is shining and your complexion is glowing.
Rule # 2 shooters
Nothing feels better on our skin and body than the sun – but it is also the cause of 90 percent of wrinkles, as well as scalp burns and hair follicle damage.
Choose a hair care range that not only protects against hot styling tools, but also against UVA rays (which make us age) and UVB rays (which are responsible for skin cancer).
Skin and hair protection should be just as important as brushing your teeth every day!
For my hair I use Davines SU hair milk and for my face I use a tinted moisturizer with SPF 50 all year round.
Rule # 3 Relax
Easier said than done right? But not only is stress bad news for overall skin health and hair growth, it also messes up your hormones, which can lead to breakouts and disrupted hair growth cycles for long periods of time).
Lack of sleep is also bad news when it comes to hair and skin health. Our bodies, hair, and skin rejuvenate themselves at night, so aim for at least eight hours of rest.

There is nothing more inviting than a nice hotel room with a comfortable bed, fluffy pillows and no clutter. To help you fall asleep, try making your bedroom area inviting and perfect for relaxing, sleeping, and having sex – if it’s on the menu!
For those short on time and feeling exhausted, get into the habit of spending part of your day in need (for me, it is when my boys go to bed at 7pm).
I’ll take a bitter bath or dim the lights, put on nice music, and light a few candles. It doesn’t matter what helps you relax, just make sure you do.
There are some great mindfulness apps out there that can help you get away from the pressures of everyday life, and I love pilates or a bedtime yoga app because of their meditative nature.
Rule # 4 Feeding
Be careful what you put into your body. It’s not rocket science – if you eat trash you likely look and feel like trash.
Your hair needs lots of minerals, vitamins, and nutrients so make sure you keep your body energized on a daily basis, but also for overall health and for it to thrive.

Aim for a rainbow assortment of fresh organic fruits and vegetables, lean protein, oily fish (salmon is great for the skin and hair), and skin-friendly snacks like Brazil nuts (high in selenium) and watermelon (high in lycopene, which is great for fighting aging) and sun damage).
