Fish Oil Fast Fact #209: Is “Oily” Hair the Healthiest Hair?
If you have ever gone a few days without showering, then you are probably laughing to yourself right now after reading the title of this post. After all, we all know that greasy, oily, slick hair is not healthy – and it’s not very pretty either. But when is oil good for your hair? We all have heard about mayonnaise conditioners (even if we haven’t tried them), and there are myriad olive oil hair masks and oily leave-in hair conditioners out there tempting us with the promise of long, luxuriant tresses.
Still not convinced that dousing yourself in cooking oil is the way to go? Do not worry. There is a way to get all the “oil” your hair needs – and help your heart and mind at the same time. Sound too good to be true? Probably. But it is. Fish oil is great for your hair, and you do not even have to bathe in it!
Skip the slick bath and the twenty shampoos and rinses to get the oil out; you can help your hair by getting plenty of omega 3 fatty acids in a daily fish oil supplement. Nutritional deficiencies show up first on your head, and since most people do not get nearly enough omega 3 fatty acids, the odds are that dry, brittle or thin hair can be alleviated – if not cured – with a daily dose of fish oil.
