Beauty tip: 3 ways to get longer, stronger hair

1) Viviscal Maximum Strength Supplements
These supplements help nourish thinning hair and promote more healthy growth. The active ingredients in Viviscal Maximum include a patented AminoMar C marine Complex, Horsetail Extract (an organic form of silica which increases the strength of hair) and Vitamin C.

Take two tablets daily for the first three to six months, followed by one to two tablets daily to maintain healthy hair growth. ($60 per box of 60 supplements, viviscal.ca)

2) Aveda Invati
With natural ingredients such as turmeric and ginseng, the Invati system helps to reduce hair loss due to breakage by 33 percent. For best results, it’s recommended to use the three-step system:
‘ Invati Exfoliating Shampoo (200 mL, $30)
‘ Invati Thickening Conditioner (200 mL, $30)
‘ Invati Scalp Revitalizer (150 mL, $69)

Available at aveda.ca.

3) Stock up on iron and vitamin C
Iron is essential for your body’s growth and development, and that includes hair. It’s a component of many proteins and enzymes that maintain good health, including hemoglobin, which transports oxygen in the bloodstream. Vitamin C actually helps your body absorb iron. Try taking an iron supplement with a glass of orange juice. Of course, speak to your doctor first.
