Some other tips for healthy hair to take biotin daily. I have done this for years and it has made my hair fuller and shinier. Also, drink lots of water, and maintain a healthy diet, drinking herbal tea helps too! If you’re washing your hair every day, stop, this dries your hair out and is doing it serious damage. Instead just wash it every other day or even better every two days, on your days not washing it dry shampoo will be your bestie. Another tip is to stop using so much heat on your hair, let it naturally dry, or at least use a heat protectant.
