Hair follicles get nourishment from the blood supply that is directly from hair papilla. If you want beautiful hair you must have a good supply of nutrients to your hair follicles.  For this, you need a good level of nutrients and especially, vitamins A, C, B, and E in your blood.

  For hair health, prevent your scalp from being dry, itchy, and damaged.  Vitamin E prevents the scalp from becoming itchy and is covered with flakes. As it nourishes the skin of the scalp and makes it a healthy scalp. It will prevent hair damage and the breaking down of strands.

 Further, vitamin E with Essential oil and other oil such as coconut oil or castor oil when applied on the scalp and strands keeps the hair fizz-free and locks the moisture of the hair. This will protect the cuticle of the hair, to prevent environmental damage to hairs.

 Vitamin E also prevents the hair to become split ends, a possibility that occurs due to dryness and damage. Applying Vitamin E on your scalp and hair reduces chemical damage that occurs when we apply chemical-based shampoo and other hair care products.

 nutrition level,

scalp level and

 to the strands

 Damage to scalp

 It is caused by chemicals used for hair styling, shampoo, conditioners, etc. It increases cell damage and flakes on the scalp that directly clogs the oil gland associated with a hair follicle and this prevents moisturizing the hair strands.

 Itchy scalp damages hair muscles and increases hair loss. 

Vitamin E when applied on the scalp, repair the cells of the scalp, keep it flake-free. Reduce irritation on the scalp. This decreases hair fall.

Damage to hair follicles

The lack of nourishment to the hair follicle prevents the growth of hair follicles.  This is visible through retarded growth of air, damaged hair strands, and hair fall. So, for healthy hair, we must have all nutrients in our food especially vitamin A, E, B, C, and proteins.

 Vitamin E which is present in our nutrition helps in reducing free radicals and cell damage. It increases oxygen supply to hair follicles. It also prevents oxidative stress to the hair follicle and thus nourishes the hair follicle for better hair growth.

Damage to hair strands

 The environmental damage to hair occurs at the level of strands due to hairstyling. It makes our hair dry and infectious scalp. This increases incidents of dandruff and other damages.  For hairstyling, we use hairspray that directly damages the cuticle and keratin of the hair strand. This damage appears in form of split and over-drying of hair strands. All these damages are preventable by minimizing the use of chemicals. 

Using heat also damages our hair, this damage also appears in the form of split ends, decoloration, and breaking of hair strands.
