Having great hair does not begin and end in your bathroom. You may lather and rinse as much as you like, but the key to great looking hair is actually in your kitchen! As your hair grows one-fourth to half an inch every month, it is the product of the nutrients that you have consumed in that month. By having the diet that promotes hair growth, you can expect to regain lost hair. Bear in mind that you cannot expect to alter the basic characteristics of your hair, i.e. from thick and straight to wavy and curly, by making a choice of nutrients.
