Syreeta Scott, owner of Duafe Holistic Hair Care, knew it was time to make a lifestyle change when her grandmother died of diabetes.
'What I knew was that I come from a family filled with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attack, you name it,' she said.
So, to combat the seemingly hereditary effects of unhealthy lifestyle choices, Scott became a vegetarian. While she is no longer a vegetarian, she is still mindful of what she eats and understands that the way she eats and lives directly affects the health of her hair.
Foods that encourage natural hair health, she said, include avocados, leafy green vegetables and plenty of water. Her favorite breakfast is plain oatmeal with flax seed, strawberries and coconut oil. This meal provides her with the ever important omega 3-6-9 fatty acids which are thought to lower the risk of heart disease, promote healthy skin and raise HDL or 'good' cholesterol.
