    TLDR Eating the right foods can improve hair health by reducing damage and providing proper nutrients.
    The research article discusses the importance of a "hair diet" in maintaining the integrity of hair, which is determined by the complex structure of the hair follicle and proper nutrition. The study highlights that weak hair can be a result of both external factors such as physical trauma, heat manipulation, and chemicals, and internal factors like inadequate nutrition. The "hair diet" is designed to address these factors, aiming to improve the health of hair by mitigating the effects of damaging practices and promoting adequate nutrition.
