Hair is affected by more than what you do on the outside. Diet, lifestyle and the supply of important nutrients all play a part. But which vitamins and minerals are actually relevant to hair, and what should you look for in a supplement?
When we think about hair care, it is usually shampoo, conditioner, treatments and other products that come to mind first. But the normal health of your hair is also connected to what the body is supplied with through the diet.
A varied and balanced diet is therefore an important starting point. Certain vitamins and minerals have documented functions connected to hair. Among others, biotin, zinc and selenium contribute to the maintenance of normal hair.
So what do these nutrients actually do, where do we find them, and when can a supplement be a practical addition?
What role does diet play for hair?
Hair is a natural part of the body and is affected by a range of factors. Age, genetics, lifestyle, diet and the hair's own natural cycle can all matter for how hair feels over time.
Through a varied diet the body gets the vitamins, minerals, proteins and other nutrients it needs. There is therefore no single food and no single vitamin that is on its own the answer to strong, healthy hair.
There are, even so, certain nutrients that are especially relevant when we talk about maintaining normal hair.
Which vitamins and minerals matter for hair?
Biotin
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is perhaps one of the nutrients most often associated with hair.
Biotin occurs naturally in eggs, nuts, seeds and certain vegetables, among other foods. The vitamin has several functions in the body and contributes to the maintenance of normal hair.
It is therefore also a common ingredient in supplements developed with hair in mind.
Zinc
Zinc is an essential mineral the body has to get through the diet. It is found in meat, dairy products, wholegrains, nuts and seeds, among others.
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, skin and nails, and also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Selenium
Selenium is a trace element that occurs naturally in fish, eggs, meat, nuts and grain products, among others.
In the same way as biotin and zinc, selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails. Selenium also contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

Hair nutrition as part of everyday life
As with the rest of hair care, it is not only about what you do on a single day. Good routines over time are what matter.
In a busy week it is not always easy to plan every meal around all the vitamins and minerals the body needs. A healthy, varied diet should always be the starting point, but for anyone who wants to supplement it, Hair Luxious can be a simple part of the daily routine.
With just two tablets a day you get a carefully composed supplement containing biotin, zinc and selenium, which contribute to the maintenance of normal hair, alongside a range of other vitamins, minerals and plant extracts.

A complete routine for your hair
Your hair is affected by many things: diet, lifestyle, and how well the body's need for important nutrients is being met. It is worth thinking about care from the inside as well as the outside, in other words about the everyday habits around meals, sleep and stress as much as about the products in the bathroom cabinet.
Hair Luxious is a carefully composed combination of 25 vitamins, minerals and plant extracts, including biotin, zinc and selenium, which contribute to the maintenance of normal hair. It is designed to sit alongside a good diet rather than replace it.
Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
