10 Foods for Healthy Hair
1. Salmon for Shine
-
Key Nutrient: Omega-3 fatty acids.
-
Benefits: Your body cannot make these healthy fats, but they are essential for growing hair, keeping it shiny, and maintaining fullness. Other great options include sardines and mackerel.
2. Greek Yogurt to Promote Growth
-
Key Nutrient: Protein and Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid).
-
Benefits: Protein is the building block of your hair. Vitamin B5 helps with blood flow to your scalp and hair growth, which can help prevent thinning and hair loss.
3. Spinach to Battle Brittle Hair
-
Key Nutrient: Vitamin A, iron, beta-carotene, folate, and Vitamin C.
-
Benefits: These nutrients work together for a healthy scalp and mane. They keep your hair moisturized so it doesn’t break. Kale is another great dark green leafy option.
4. Guava to Prevent Breakage
-
Key Nutrient: Vitamin C.
-
Benefits: One cup of guava has more than four times your daily minimum recommended amount of Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that protects your hair from breaking.
5. Iron-Fortified Cereal to Prevent Loss
-
Key Nutrient: Iron.
-
Benefits: Getting too little iron can lead to hair loss. You can find this nutrient in fortified cereals, grains, pasta, as well as soybeans, lentils, beef (especially organ meats), shellfish, and dark leafy greens.
6. Lean Poultry for Thickness
-
Key Nutrient: High-quality protein.
-
Benefits: When you don’t get enough protein, hair growth rests. Older hairs fall out, resulting in hair loss. Chicken and turkey have less saturated fat than beef and pork.
7. Sweet Potatoes to Fight Dull Locks
-
Key Nutrient: Beta-carotene (which the body turns into Vitamin A).
-
Benefits: Vitamin A protects against dry, dull hair and cues glands in your scalp to make an oily fluid called sebum, which keeps hair from drying out. Other orange fruits and veggies like carrots, pumpkin, cantaloupe, and mangoes offer the same benefits.
8. Cinnamon for Circulation
-
Benefits: Sprinkling this spice on your oatmeal, toast, or coffee helps improve blood flow. This circulation brings oxygen and nutrients directly to your hair follicles.
9. Eggs for Growth
-
Key Nutrient: Protein, iron, and Biotin (a B vitamin).
-
Benefits: Biotin helps hair grow, and a shortage of it can lead to hair loss. It also helps strengthen brittle fingernails.
10. Oysters for Fullness
-
Key Nutrient: Zinc.
-
Benefits: When you don't have enough zinc, you can experience hair loss—even in your eyelashes. Cells that build hair rely heavily on zinc to do their job. You can also find zinc in beef, crab, lobster, and fortified cereal.
11. Recommended Product: Hair Dryer
