The Secret to Growing Long, Healthy Hair

long healthy hair

We are all aware of the many health benefits Biotin and Keratin have for our bodies. In fact, when most people think about growing their hair, strengthening their nails, and improving their skin, they often turn to Biotin supplements and Keratin-infused products.

While these two products work wonders, there’s an often overlooked and disregarded supplement that can help you see quicker results. If you haven’t guessed by now, the secret supplement I’ve been talking about is Bamboo!

Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world! Certain species of bamboo can grow between eight to 10 centimeters in a single day.

Not only does it grow rapidly, but it also remains both strong and flexible in the process. It’s said to be as strong as steel, and as firm as cement, and it grows to timber size in about 11 months.

Bamboo contains up to 70 percent of vegetative silica– that’s the greatest amount in any plant! Also known as Silicon, silica is a combination of silicon and oxygen, two of the most abundant elements on the planet.

It is a trace mineral that can be found in the body that slowly depletes as we age, and if we are lacking this mineral it can not only cause our hair to weaken and shed, but it can also impact our nails, skin and other organs in our bodies, as well.

Many hair companies incorporate bamboo extract into their products because it helps lock in moisture and creates shine while adding strength and elasticity.

These companies are fully aware of silica’s ability to improve hair texture, prevent split ends and accelerate hair growth. This nutrient-rich ingredient also has protective antioxidant properties and improves hair health through its silica-rich nutrient base.
