6 Best Natural Vitamin Supplements for Hair Loss

We can’t bear the sight of seeing strands of our lovely tresses on our combs. However, did you know that a big cause behind your hair fall could be the deficiency of vitamins? Did you know that hair loss due to vitamin deficiency is known as telogen effluvium? Therefore without further ado, let us get into the essential vitamins that one should consume to battle against the problem of hair loss.

⦁ Biotin or Vitamin B7


Biotin is one of the key vitamins that can help you battle against hair loss. As you all know hair is made of keratin and keratin is formed with the help of cell enzymes and biotin. Therefore, a proper amount of biotin is extremely crucial for good hair, nails and skin.

Now since biotin is water soluble, the body often is unable to store the required amount. Therefore, to prevent hair loss, try taking biotin in the form of eggs, salmon, whole wheat bread, peanut butter, avocados, raspberries, and raw cauliflower. You can also take biotin in the form of supplements but make sure to check out for side effects when you do.

⦁ Vitamin C



Say hello to juicy, yum citrus fruits because they have lots of vitamin C which are vital for hair loss control and hair growth. Now hair is composed of collagen and collagen synthesis can take place only with the help of vitamin C. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant which helps you get good skin as a bonus, too. Therefore, enrich your diet with vitamin C by consuming lots of citrus fruits like orange, grapefruit, strawberries and also from broccoli, guava and raw green peppers.

 

⦁ Vitamin A



Carrots aren’t the key to only brilliant eyesight but they’re also an effective weapon when it comes to fighting against hair loss. Vitamin A is required for cell growth and it produces sebum or the natural oil in your hair, which will you help you fight against hair loss due to breakage. While carrots are the most evident source of vitamin A, other delicious options include dried apricots, sweet potatoes, mangoes, spinach etc.
 
 

 ⦁ Vitamin E



A lot of people call vitamin E the wonder hair ingredient. Not only does vitamin E act as a powerful antioxidant that repairs and builds tissue, it is important for countering hair loss and promoting healthy hair growth. Not only this, applying vitamin E capsules topically on your scalp can improve blood circulation and promote hair growth. Therefore, always remember to take your healthy dose of vitamin E through avocados, almonds, broccoli etc.

⦁ Vitamin D



Most urban women suffer from vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is responsible for stimulating new cells and tissues. While the easiest way to get vitamin D is to soak in the sun for around 15-20 minutes, that might not be the best option in summers. Therefore, it is important to supplement it through diet. Include foods like fish, cod liver oil, eggs, mushrooms, salami and sausages to get your requirement of vitamin D.

⦁ Niacin or Vitamin B3

Our hair is made up of nutrients. Replenishing the scalp by improving blood circulation and flow can take place with the help of vitamin B3. It helps in bringing blood, oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles. Niacin can be consumed by eating fish, avocado, chicken and sunflower seeds.

Jacqueline Fernandez Diet Chart, Fitness, Makeup, Beauty Secrets




With looks that could kill, Jacqueline entered Bollywood in 2009, and her debut movie was Aladin. This movie was an absolute disaster; however, Jacqueline managed to get noticed because of her charm and enigma. She was crowned Miss Sri Lanka in 2006, as has been on a roller coaster ride ever since. I would say Jacqueline is a complete package of glamour and beauty. She is good looking, has the right mixture of glamour and wit, dresses well and has those killer dance moves. Ever since she shone bright in the movie ‘Kick’, there is no looking back for this natural Sri Lankan beauty. In this post I will bring you some of the best beauty and fitness mantras of Jacqueline Fernandez as she is never shy of revealing her skin and diet secrets.




She can be as exotic as you want, and as Desi as you can imagine. Jacky is able to carry off any look, any attire with equal comfort and ease. Her figure is just perfect and her looks are absolutely mesmerizing. It is no secret that most of the Bollywood actresses have to deal with a harsh life as they have to be in total control of what they eat. Apart from controlling your hunger pangs away, it is equally essential to work out almost every day, and not to forget that the beauty regime has to be in sync with the fitness!

1. A glass of lukewarm with Apple Vinegar-Cider(one tea spoon) in the morning.

2. Fernandez uses face wash by Cetaphil, and then applies moisturizer by La Prarie

3. Her beauty regime is incomplete without using a great toner. As she has a troublesome T-Zone, cleaning and toning are a must do rituals.

4. She uses lip balms by Dermalogica.

5. Miss Fernandez also trusts home made products and packs, her favorite ones are honey and Yoghurt based.

6. On her recommendation list is Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-Oil by The Body Shop.

7. She loves her Youth Serum, for glow and radiant skin.

8. You will never spot her without lip butter, sanitizer and a face spritzer

9. Jacqueline recommends using ice cubes on her face to get rid of tiredness and dullness. However, ice cubes should be wrapped in cotton.

Makeup Regime of Jacqueline Fernandez


What is it that makes her look ravishing and gorgeous all the time? Lets talk about her favorite makeup.

1. She uses a Primer before using anything on her skin. This evens out the appearance of open pores, and ensures that her makeup lasts longer. By the way, she loves The Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Minimizer.

2. Jacqueline uses BB creams instead of foundations, as foundations do not allow the skin to breathe effectively!

3. Her favorite compact is NC41 by MAC

4. Her eye contour is enhanced by products from Bobbi Brown.

5. Her favorite colors for blush and lipsticks? Pink, Red & Peach.

6. Jacky’s favorite fragrance is Issey Miyake. Other than that, she loves L’Occitane’s Rose fragrance.

7. Miss Fernandez swears by The Body Shop’s Brazil Nut Body Butter and Body Mist.

8. Always remove your makeup before going to sleep at night.

Jacqueline Fernandez Hair Care Routine

As her hair has to go a lot of nuisance day in and day out, she ensure that they remain pampered with the best hair care products, at least for some time. Hence, she goes for a head bath straightway after undergoing a hair styling session. Hair massage? Yes, champi is her favorite. Her preferred oil is hot Coconut oil.

To get that shine and volume, Jacqueline loves using Beer. She also uses Egg white hair mask. Jacqueline loves hair care products from Kerastase. You can also try eating flax seeds, Fish, Nuts and Zinc supplements for great hair!

Fitness Secrets of Jacqueline Fernandez

She constantly works out and trains her body in the gym but what exactly does she do to get that sexy body? Lets spill her work out and fitness tips.

1. A cup of green tea after waking up by seven am!

2. An hour of work out which includes Dancing, Swimming and Kapalbhati. Post that, Sri Lankan beauty indulges in meditation and pranayam.

3. Light weights in the gym.

4. Dancing rigorously

5. Swimming & running every alternate day.

Jacqueline Fernandez Food and Diet Chart

Being careful about your diet is a cliché in the glam industry and Jacqueline is no exception. She maintains her body by eating the right amount of food at the right intervals. Lets take a peak at her diet plan:

1. Jacky never depends on fried food. She always carries dry fruits with her apart from eating a lot of green vegetables.

2. Sushi and Salmon form a major component of Jacqueline’s diet. She does consume sugar though.

3. The Bollywood actress skips dinner a lot times however, not sleep. She ensures that she fulfills her sleep requirement.

4. Few Secrets which are not Secrets Anymore! Eat Bananas, Kiwis, Sweet Potatoes & Dark Chocolates to keep your hunger pangs away.

5. Tomatoes, nuts and Coconut water will keep your blood pressure optimum. So even if you do not eat well, these food items will maintain the flow of blood.

6. For a great sleep at night, eat loads of Spinach, recommends Jacqueline!

7. She stays away from tea or coffee

8. Brown rice, salads and lentils for lunch will keep you away from hunger.

Let me confess that I have not seen any of her movies till date, but I find her quite charming and pleasant. Not only is she extremely forthcoming about her diet plan, but she also shared her makeup secrets and brands. Most of the people in the showbiz shy away from spilling the beans, and JF is indeed an exception. I feel that this honesty shows up on her face as well. She is carefree, bubbly, full of life and believes in just being herself. Not many can do that in today’s times.

I would not skip my dinner for anything on planet Earth. Her best beauty tip for me happens to be the usage of primer. It is indeed a must have, and I am going to order one today. Life is extremely tough for all the gorgeous divas, but there is no gain without pain. It becomes tough to acquire a certain kind of body, and needs an equal determination to maintain it. So, despite the fact that I am not a ‘Bollywoodologist’ in real terms, I appreciate our actors and actresses working so hard to look great and soothe our over stretched grey cells.

Fernandez has not only shared what she eats, but also mentioned what you can eat as a regular person to keep fat at bay. We all must have that one comfort food item or drink around, and for her, it is Coconut Water. Jacqueline confessed once that she grew up in Bahrain, and to keep herself hydrated and nourished, she used to always carry Coconut water.

A troublesome T zone can be kept healthy and neat by following most of the tips offered by her. Oily face is a blessing if you are able to maintain it well. It just needs care and attention.

Be careful with what you eat, as you become what you eat. Indulge in some form of physical activity, and do not just because you feel tempted. I am not promising that you will look like her, but you will be a diva in yourself! Drool in and zip you way, before it is too late.

Mouni Roy Beauty Tips and Diet, Fitness Secrets

 

Top Mouni Roy Beauty Tips, Diet Chart, Fitness Secrets

Try compiling a mental list of television actresses who can carry every character and attire with elan and, I am sure, Mouni Roy, a.k.a. Sati of Mahadev will top the list. She’s sexy, gorgeous, hot, beautiful, desi and original! Her screen persona is hard to ignore and her bengali looks are noteworthy. Mouni has recently appeared on the TV series Nagin, and this tv show multiplied her fan following tremendously. She is on Twitter and Instagram, she has already crossed one million followers. In this post we will get into what her daily beauty routine looks like along with her fitness mantras, diet chart, makeup regime and favourite beauty products.
We all know how gruesome their routine is and how hectic their lifestyles are. Hence my curiosity reaches its peak when I flip through the pages and see them smiling and graciously answering questions which are, well, quite irritating as well! Hats off to their dedication and hats off to their patience for sure. She has been staying away from media controversies for quite some time. Her dedication and commitment to the craft of acting is quite prominent, given the fact that she can mould herself easily into every character so easily. I have never been a TV buff, but, can easily figure out Mouni because of her strong screen presence and confidence. She looks different, and she is original!
Her beauty tips and inputs are very easy to follow. She has been quite active all her life, hence fat deposit was something which never rang a bell in her head. Being a Bengali, her skin is flawless and hair dark, wavy and thick. Adding beauty to her appearance is her broad face with sharp features.

 

Mouni Roy Diet and Fitness Secrets:

1. Drink water, at least eight to ten glasses in a day. It sounds like a cliché, and sounds boring as well. However, do not forget this age old trick. Water dissolves all the impurities.
2. She lays a lot of emphasis on keeping the body fit and toned. She is a trained Kathak Dancer, hence she dances away to glory to keep herself healthy and happy. Dance for sixty minutes to burn four hundred calories every day. Thats her most important work out and fitness secret.
3. Do not ever starve to stay fit and thin. Eat after a gap of two to three hours and stay happy. This will boost your metabolism and will put a full stop on your hunger pangs. The key here is to eat sprouts instead of a cheese burst pizza. You don’t need a strict diet chart but healthy and light meals.
4. Mouni is a self confessed foodie. Her favorite cuisine happens to be Chinese and she eats Chinese food once in a fortnight. Sprite is her favorite drink. Though Chinese is her SOS kind of indulgence, she prefers home cooked food most of the times.
5. Wear clothes that you can carry off without any hesitation.
6. Say NO to alcohol and smoking for a sexy body and face.
7. Do not aim at being skinny, if you are not meant for it.
8. She loves her Bengali cuisine and loves spicy dishes.
9. No gym for her!! Only dance for about an hour.

 

Mouni Roy Beauty Secrets:

1. To add glamour in your life, ensure that you learn to accentuate one feature; be it shoes, attire, hair, eyes, lips, anything for that matter. Miss Roy believes in the same philosophy as well and loves to highlight her eyes. She is never without the eyeliner or kohl.
Her dry skin needs regular moisturization and hence she drinks a lot of water, and applies moisturizer on her face as well.
2. Mouni’s love for lip balms is well known. She prefers balms to gloss or lipsticks. She has a huge collection of lip balms. Also, she applies lip balms after every three to four hours. This keeps lips health and moist.
3. Thats one of her favourite beauty tips. Another essential item is Sunscreen. She does not step out without the sunscreen and relies on the best brands to protect her skin from the damages. She categorically states that it is important to consult a Dermatologist before using any beauty product as they are the right people to guide and help you with regards to the need and overall maintenance of your skin.
4. Mouni ensures that she does not apply makeup in any form when she is not shooting. Once her shooting is over, she immediately removes the makeup with the help of oil based cleansers.
5. Her best friend is an Aloe Vera gel which keeps her skin nourished.
6. She is a huge fan of massages. She loves her body massage. Her weekly schedule includes a body massage. Apart from this, she never misses her facial cleanup appointment every week.
7. Many moons ago, Mouni’s mother used to apply an ubtan made of Haldi and Malai for a great skin. Now, since she has no time to stay back at home, Mouni gives this beauty regime a miss.
8. Hair and head massage, as & when applicable and available.


Mouni Roy Make Up Tips


1. The key to a great makeup lies in the way you apply your foundation. Always prefer a foundation of great quality.
2. Highlight just one aspect of your face. Great, heavily embellished eyes will go well with a neutral lip color. If your lip color is really loud, then forget about eye makeup. A little tinge of mascara and kohl would be enough.
3. Looking beautiful is one thing, and you should strive hard to be beautiful. Your body language, clothes, grooming, accessories, everything plays an important role in creating the glamorous you.

 

Her Favorite Cleansing Routine:

Apply Aloe Vera gel at night on your face, and then wash off your face with water. You can store the gel in the fridge for best results. This will keep your skin nourished and hydrated.

Mouni Roy Favorite Beauty and Makeup Products Brands:

  1. Products from Clinque & Lancome, especially
  2. Moisturizer by Lancome
  3. Moisturizing cream by MAC
  4. Oil cleanser by MAC
  5. All the products by The Body Shop

 

Mouni Roy Favorite Beauty Tip:

When in Rome, do as Romans do. Similarly, beauty wise, try to use products which are indigenous as these products understand the climatic conditions rather well. So, next time, do not shy away from using Sunsilk or Head & Shoulders or Patanjali as the makers understand the basic climatic conditions.
Hence concluded that beauty is not a matter of chance or luck, but it is a holy (blame it on Mahadev nostalgia) amalgamation of hard work, focus, determination and commitment.
Every time I try to figure out the factors which differentiates between ‘us and ‘them’ it is the will power, or the lack of it which takes away the storm. I am still struggling to lose weight and getting rid of patches, and after reading and writing about beautiful actresses like Mouni Roy, I feel inspired and motivated to take the right step next time.
But do not forget that you need to lose weight and not your determination and confidence. Stay fit, eat what you like in moderation, and balance out your binge sessions. Moreover, do not lose sleep over anything. Sleep is a must to do thing, and stop thinking too much about anything and everything that has happened to you (Or maybe things which could not happen)!
These are some of the beauty, makeup, fitness and diet secrets of Mouni Roy. Life is too short and vanity is shorter, so make room for beauty asap, you never know what all you might be missing down the line!
