Smoking and Your Hair

Well, trichologists are making advances everyday understanding the hair and its interaction with the rest of our body. One of their latest studies involves smoking. We don’t need to tell you smoking is bad for oyur health right? And it is also for your hair.

Smoking can cause dull, lank and smelly hair. Giving up smoking can make your hair appear shiny and healthy. Smoking doesn”t only affect the look and smell of your hair, it can also cause it to break off. Smoking stops enough oxygen and nutrients flowing through your body, which means your hair doesn”t get the right amount of the essential nourishment it needs to stay healthy.

A study involving 268 men over 30 found that the men who smoked were more likely to suffer from premature aging and grey hair.

So there you have it, another reason to quit smoking.
