Lacy Fields and Charisma McLaughlin wrote Hair Food for men and women experiencing hair loss and those who desire healthier and stronger hair. Most men and women who suffer from hair loss never consider what they're eating. The foods we consume substantially affect our overall health, including our hair, hair follicles, and scalp. Our hair maintains itself from the inside out, and we need an intake of healthy, balanced, and nutritional meals to aid in our hair's health, growth, and strength. Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp, and a healthy scalp begins with a healthy diet.
