Demi Moore’s long, shiny hair isn’t just a beauty statement—it’s a testament to the importance of nourishing hair from the inside out.
After winning a major industry award at the Golden Globes, the spotlight shifted to her impressive locks. Experts suggest her approach to hair care offers valuable lessons for maintaining healthy hair, no matter your age.
Moore herself explains her philosophy: “When I’m not working, I try to do as little to it as possible. It’s stressful even having someone touch it. If I don’t have anywhere to go, I don’t put heat on it—I just try to let it do its own thing. And I don’t wash it too often. I get regular tiny trims. The rest comes from the inside out. You have to eat well, all those things.”
Beatriz Robles, a nutrition expert, emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet for healthy hair. “Changes in the appearance, volume, or density of hair can be a sign of nutritional deficiencies,” she explains.
Hair health starts with nutrition. Keratin, a protein, makes up about 90% of each hair strand. Getting enough protein is essential for hair growth and strength. Essential fatty acids, like omega-3s found in fish, nuts, and avocados, keep hair moisturized and support scalp health. Iron, commonly deficient in women, is also key to preventing hair loss.
Vitamin deficiencies can severely impact hair health. Vitamin D, found in egg yolks and fatty fish, aids in the formation of new hair follicles. Vitamin E protects hair from environmental damage, while vitamin A produces sebum, the natural moisturizer for the scalp.
Moore’s minimal-styling approach is in line with expert advice. Overusing heat can strip hair of its natural oils. Research on Dyson’s website explains, “When heat is applied, the natural oils are stripped from your hair, and the water molecules evaporate, changing the hair’s protein structure. High temperatures cause the water to dry up quickly, which affects the structure of each strand and can crack the cuticles, making hair more vulnerable to damage.”
A balanced diet and gentle hair care are the winning formula for maintaining healthy locks. Follow these tips, and your hair will thrive.
