Have you ever heard of Green Soap??

Image
I had not until I was speaking with someone who consulted me for hair help. I did some research and here is what I found: Using green soap to wash your hair is not generally recommended for regular hair care, especially if you’re referring to the surgical or tattoo-grade green soap (like the kind used in medical or tattoo settings). Here’s why: ⸻ ⚠️ What Is Green Soap?  • Tattoo/medical green soap: Contains alcohol, glycerin, and essential oils, primarily used for disinfecting skin—not formulated for scalp or hair.  • It’s antibacterial, which is good for sanitation but can be too harsh for the scalp and strip your hair of natural oils. ⸻ ❌ Why It May Not Be Safe for Hair:  1.

 Wondering how to get thicker hair? Thicker hair can be influenced by a combination of internal health, scalp care, and smart hair practices. Here’s a breakdown of what can help make your hair appear or actually become thicker: 🧠 1. Nutrition for Thick Hair Hair is made of protein (mainly keratin), so your diet is key.  • Protein-rich foods: Eggs, lean meat, fish, lentils, beans, nuts  • Omega-3 fatty acids: Salmon, flaxseeds, walnuts  • Iron: Spinach, red meat, lentils  • Zinc & Biotin: Pumpkin seeds, eggs, sweet potatoes  • Vitamins A, C, D & E: Help with scalp health, collagen, and follicle strength ✅ Supplements like biotin, collagen, or hair-specific blends can help if your diet is lacking, but always consult a doctor first. 🧴 2.
