Fish Oil
It is commonly known that fish or other sea creatures offer much of treasure for human. Fish is one type of sea creature that we could easily find it everyday. Some of us also know that fish contain various good essences in which one of them is animal protein. Another essence is a good nutrition called by omega 3.

Therefore, it is still strongly recommended that you choose to consume fish oil than other types of food with omega 3.
Anyhow, do not imagine that you would need to do the process of taking fish oil directly from the raw fish because it would take time, energy even special skill. Fish oil products are available everywhere so you could just buy and consume it. Generally, you will find the product as a capsule which some of them are too big to swallow. If just in case you could not swallow it, you may have to find smaller capsule or eat the fish straight away. Remember that fish oil with abundant of omega 3 is usually found at some types of fish only which are sardines, salmon and anchovies.
Omega 3
Omega 3 found in oil fish is a type of fatty acids omega 3 consisting of either DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) or EPA (eicosapentaeonic acid). The combination of those two essences is also possible to found at the type of this omega 3. As mentioned before that omega 3 can also be found in other types of food, one of them is at vegetarian types of food such as walnut, seed oils, whole grains and seeds.
However, vegetarian source of omega 3 has another essence called ALA. Unfortunately, ALA could not be easily absorbed by the body while EPA and DHA are very easily absorbed. This means that besides about quantity or volume of omega 3, what makes omega 3 from fish oil better and more powerful is because the type of omega 3 itself.
Fish Oil and Hair Growth
Omega 3 essence found in fish oil contains a healthy fat which could directly make the hair stronger and shiner. If you wonder why it has to be the oil of fish to use for hair care, it actually closely relates to the lessening volume of natural oil for lubricating the hair (as well as the body) when people grow older. In this kind of condition, omega 3 would replace the oil and help alleviating any hair problems particularly the hair loss and stimulate the hair growth.
In addition to it, omega 3 also offers essential fatty acid which very influences on the hair follicles. When the supply of fatty acid could be well covered, the follicle would be strengthened and keep the hair grow normally. At opposite, when the body lacks of fatty acid, hair follicles would be impaired that the hair would easily loss and fall.
From this explanation, you could understand by yourself that omega 3 with its fatty acid really helps in preventing hair loss as well as stimulating hair growth. It would be better though if you know more that omega 3 does not only do that thing for you hair, because it also makes it brighter and more elastic.
