To make hair harder, you can start from multiple aspects.
Firstly, dietary regulation is an important factor. In your daily diet, you can increase intake of foods beneficial for hair, such as walnuts, black sesame seeds, and black beans. These foods contain abundant linoleic acid, which can help improve dry and coarse hair, making it darker and shinier.
Avoid using excessively hot hair dryers or straighteners, reduce chemical treatments such as dyeing and perming, choose mild shampoo and conditioner, and regularly trim split ends to reduce hair damage and maintain natural hair hardness. Regular scalp massage can also promote blood circulation and increase blood supply to the scalp, aiding healthier hair growth.
Appropriate scalp massage also helps strengthen hair. Massaging the scalp can improve blood circulation, providing better nourishment to hair follicles, thereby improving hair quality. Under a doctor's guidance, you may take certain medications that promote hair growth, such as Tianma Shouwu tablets or vitamin B2 tablets, which can help make hair darker and shinier.
