Experts have shown that the human body is made up of 60 percent of water. This literarily means that more than half of the body is water. Therefore, the body’s life wire is maintained by water. Therefore water plays a great role in maintaining a healthy hair.


The number of glasses of daily water intake depends on your daily activity and diet. Some experts recommend eight glasses of water while others believe that your body gets water, not only from the drinking water, but other sources such as fruits. Also, someone who engages in daily exercise or other active duties may require more water intake than a person who does not.


However, water is not only needed to hydrate your body, it provides protein to help your hair grow healthy.
