Tatyana Karelina is an expert in hair loss and hair extensions, with salons in London, Manchester and Los Angeles.

Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey are among the celebrities who have purchased her custom-made hair products.

Speaking to The US Sun, she revealed how to get enviably long hair.

HER HEROES

Karelina said that as a child, she only used homemade hair care products that had worked for other women in her family.

“I remember my grandmother had the most amazing hair,” she said.

“She did two things religiously.

“She massaged castor oil into the scalp to improve circulation and promote hair growth.

“She also made a mask with eggs and olive oil to improve the hair’s protein supply.”

According to HealthlineOlive oil can be helpful in preventing split ends, promoting hair growth, and keeping the scalp healthy.

Many people leave the oil on for at least 15 minutes before rinsing it out with lukewarm water and shampoo.

Karelina told that her grandmother always rinsed her hair with chamomile tea.

“We collected and dried so much of it over the summer that we always had plenty of chamomile in the pantry,” she said.

FOOD FOR THE THOUGHT

Karelina said that hair plays an “important role” in personal identity and that regrowth can make a person feel “truly” themselves.”

“I also noticed that clients felt more comfortable and confident in social interactions because they looked better and felt more confident,” she said.

“Less reserved and shy, more open and happy.

“As the anxiety and stress associated with hair loss decreases, this leads to a more relaxed and positive mindset.”

She revealed what specific nutrients a diet needs to combat hair loss and support hair health.

At the top of her list is protein, since hair is “mainly made up of keratin,” a type of protein.

“Iron deficiency can lead to hair loss,” she said. “Zinc is essential for the growth and repair of hair tissue.

“Omega-3 fatty acids help nourish the hair and support its growth.

Biotin, vitamin B7, is essential for hair growth and overall hair health.

“Vitamin A helps with the production of sebum, which keeps the scalp healthy, while vitamin E supports blood circulation to the scalp.

“A vitamin D deficiency can lead to hair loss.”

She revealed that biotin, vitamin B7, is “essential” for hair health and growth.

Vitamins B6 and B12 are both important for longer hair.

She said vitamin C should be a staple in the diet to help produce collagen, which is “essential” for hair strength and improves iron absorption.

“Selenium is an antioxidant that helps the body process proteins needed for hair growth,” she said.

“Magnesium helps with protein synthesis and hair growth.

“Adequate water intake is crucial for maintaining healthy hair.”
