Get Nutrition to Your Hair

  How drinking water helps build healthy hair and helps fight COVID-19. Your hair follicles need water, oxygen and nutrients to produce a great strand of hair. If you're well hydrated, your hair follicles get all the building materials they need to create a thick, strong, well hydrated strand of hair.

  If you're dehydrated, your hair follicles get less water, oxygen and nutrients to build a strand of hair with and can only build a thin weak dry strand of hair.

  If you're really dehydrated, your hair follicles don't even get enough to build a hair. So when you naturally shed a hair, it can't be replaced and that space on your head is empty.

  To demonstrate this, here you can see a bunch of water, oxygen and nutrients that help build a strong strand of hair. When there is less of these building materials your hair follicle can only create a thin piece of hair. And when there's no building materials, your hair follicle is empty because it can't even build a strand of hair.

  When you're dehydrated some hair follicles will be able to build a really thin strand of hair, while others won't even be able to build a hair so you get a combination of thin hair and thinning hair on your head.

Your Body's Survival Priorities

  When you're dehydrated, your body doesn't have enough water to make enough blood and goes into survival mode. Your body prioritizes where to send blood carrying oxygen and nutrients for its survival. Your body's top priority is getting blood, oxygen and nutrients to your brain first, followed by your heart, kidneys, liver and other organs.

  When you're dehydrated, your hair is very low on your body's survival priority list, so it gets very little of the blood and nutrients and water that the hair follicles need to build great hair. When your hair follicles get a reduced amount of building materials, they barely have enough to create a hair. With less blood, nutrients and water they can only create weak, dry, thin, brittle hair.

  Drinking water helps your body create enough blood which increases the amount of blood, oxygen, water and nutrients that your hair follicles receive to make new hair. This helps your hair follicles create thick, shiny, well hydrated, strong strands of hair.

  Drinking Water also helps prevent thinning hair. When you naturally shed hair and it falls out it is normally replaced with a new hair. If you are really dehydrated, when a hair falls out and your hair follicle doesn't have enough blood, oxygen and nutrients to create a new hair, the hair on your head looks and is thinner.

  Drinking water helps your hair follicles receive all the blood, oxygen, nutrients and water that they need to create a new hair so when you naturally shed a hair, it can replace that hair with a new hair. Lack of water can also cause the skin on your head to be dry and flake causing dandruff as well.

  You can put conditioners on thin, dry, brittle hair to try to hydrate it but drinking water to build thick, strong, well hydrated, shiny hair should be your first step to get great hair.
