As with the skin, food is a key element when it comes to taking care of our hair. An inappropriate lifestyle, with an unbalanced diet and unhealthy habits such as drinking alcohol, smoking or eating a lot of sweets can seriously harm the condition of our hair.
Modifying, therefore, the eating routine can become a kind of preventive action with the aim of making the hair look healthy and radiant and, in this way, avoid a multitude of problems. In the following we detail an example of a five-day detox diet that enhances precisely this area.
