How does eating too much sugar affect hair health?

Image
  Consuming excessive amounts of sugar can negatively impact hair health in several ways: 1. Hormonal Imbalances : High sugar intake can lead to insulin resistance, which may disrupt hormonal balance. Elevated insulin levels can increase androgen production, potentially leading to hair thinning or hair loss, especially in individuals with a predisposition to androgenetic alopecia. 2. Reduced Nutrient Absorption : Sugar can deplete essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals (e.g., zinc, biotin, and vitamin E) that are crucial for healthy hair growth. It may also impair the body’s ability to absorb these nutrients effectively. 3. Inflammation : High sugar consumption contributes to chronic inflammation, which can damage hair follicles and disrupt the hair growth cycle.

How to know your hair porosity

Image
Hair porosity refers to how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture. There are three main levels of porosity: low, medium, and high . To determine your hair porosity, you can use the following methods: 1. The Float Test • Take a few strands of clean, dry hair (no product or oil on it). • Fill a glass or bowl with room-temperature water. • Drop the hair strands into the water and wait 2–4 minutes. • Low porosity: Hair floats on top, as the cuticles are tightly closed and resist absorbing water. • Medium porosity: Hair slowly sinks to the middle, as it absorbs a balanced amount of water. • High porosity: Hair quickly sinks to the bottom, as it absorbs water easily due to open or damaged cuticles. 2. The Slip Test • Run your fingers up a strand of hair from the tip to the root. • Low porosity: Hair feels smooth, indicating tightly closed cuticles. • Medium porosity: Hair feels slightly textured, indicating healthy cuticles. • High porosity:...
