While hair health naturally decreases as you age, if you suffer from dry hair, dandruff, hair loss, and even graying, you may also be experiencing the side effects of having a magnesium deficiency.
Magnesium helps the body absorb and put nutrients to work. One of the most important nutrients magnesium helps to balance is calcium, a mineral necessary for helping to strengthen your bones and teeth. However, when your body is magnesium deficient, calcium can begin to calcify and lead to your hair follicles drying up. Calcium can also latch on and damage your hair from showering frequently in ‘hard water’.
To help treat and save your hair, magnesium, both in pill and in oil form, can provide positive results.
By massaging magnesium oil on to your scalp, you can help to promote hair growth and strength. The massaging will stimulate your hair follicles and help them to absorb the oil quickly, allowing for the magnesium to enter your body through your skin and help to combat the build up of too much calcium. Magnesium oil will also help to soothe your scalp should it be irritated, dry, itchy, or oily. Topical magnesium clears away bacteria and will leave your scalp feeling fresh and your hair feeling strong.
While magnesium oil may work best for some, others are more suited to enjoy the full benefits of taking a daily magnesium supplement. Magnesium supplements can help to prevent and treat the following hair health issues:
Premature graying
Thinning of the hair
Hair loss
Facial hair growth in women
In addition to taking magnesium supplements, you can help to support proper hair growth by:
Reducing your alcohol and caffeine intake
Eating magnesium rich food such as spinach, dark chocolate, almonds, avocado, and yogurt.
Taking Epsom salt baths
Avoiding straightening, curling, colouring, blow-drying, and damaging your hair with heat and chemicals.
