Do you engage in negative self-talk about your hair? Negative hair talk can be, such as:
-
I always have a bad hair day
-
My hair is very thin
-
I’m losing so much hair
-
I’m going bald
-
My scalp is always itchy
It’s time to stop being your own worst enemy and avoid speaking such unfavorable words for your hair. Negative self-talk can increase your stress level and adversely affect your body (and your hair is no exception).
The mind and body are inextricably linked, and every thought can have a huge impact on our physiology. Research shows that staying optimistic strengthens our immune system, and our body’s ability to handle stress. Apparently, people who stay positive don’t fall ill as much, and have a better health overall.
Unfortunately nobody is born with a ‘stay positive’ degree. However, we can easily train ourselves to be optimistic, and even the most pessimist people can turn positive by practice. When we say positive statements about our bodies, we are rewiring our minds with more healthy thought patterns, and this will translate into better health.
The same logic applies to our hair. Whenever you find yourself falling into a pattern of unhelpful hair bashing, consciously substitute your revised, more realistic and affirmative self-talk. Positive hair affirmations will help you care for your hair better, relax your scalp, improve the health of your hair, and prevent hair loss.
You can create hair affirmations such as:
-
My hair is healthy and growing fast
-
My hair cells are strong and rejuvenating
-
I take good care of my hair
-
My scalp is healthy
-
My hair cell are producing my natural hair color
