1. Drink Carrot Juice
Be sure to drink your vegetables! Carrot juice is loaded with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to aid in hair-health and fight free radicals due to aging. “Carrots have a high concentration of vitamin A, which helps promote hair and scalp health,” shared Lori Shemek, health coach and author of “Fire-Up Your Fat Burn.” Incorporating carrot juice into your morning routine is an easy (and surprisingly delicious) step on the path to happy hair.
2. Eat Protein
Our hair follicles are literally made up of protein, so it only makes sense that protein contributes to hair health. Dermatologists agree that a lack of protein in the diet has proven to be a cause of hair loss. There’s no easier way to incorporate protein into your morning than by eating eggs. Whether you like yours over easy, scrambled, or fried, the protein and biotin in eggs will do amazing things for your hair.
3. Massage Your Scalp
There’s nothing like starting your day with a little mindfulness, and what better way to focus on you than a scalp massage! Dr. Debra Jaliman, a New York City dermatologist, told Reader’s Digest scalp massage increases blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles. Increased blood flow aids in speeding up hair growth and can revive hair loss. Scalp massage can be done in the shower while shampooing, or you can really zen out by using an essential oil mask.

4. Clarify Your Scalp
Healthy hair begins at the root, which means scalp health is crucial in fighting hair loss. Toxins and product buildup can layer on your scalp, creating a heaviness that makes it impossible for hair to grow. A clarifying treatment will both promote healthy growth and improve your scalp circulation. This exfoliating scalp treatment by Kiehl's will revive your scalp in just five minutes, and is a refreshing way to start your day!
