    TLDR Good nutrition is essential for healthy hair.
    The book "Nutrition for Healthy Hair" by Ralph M. Trüeb provided a scientific basis for nutrition-based strategies to promote healthy hair. It examined the impact of internal and external factors, such as aging and environmental oxidative stress, on hair health. The book discussed the importance of proteins, calories, trace elements, and vitamins for the hair follicle, a tissue with high biosynthetic activity. It aimed to distinguish facts from misconceptions in the field of diet and hair health, addressing the commercial interests and debates surrounding nutritional supplements. The author, a dermatologist with extensive experience in hair research, highlighted the limitations of current understanding and practices in this area.
