Best Foods for Hair Health

 

Here are some items to add to your grocery list for healthy hair! You have over a hundred thousand hair follicles on your head, and many foods that you eat can benefit the health of your scalp and hair follicles.

 


Fruits (such as strawberries, tomatoes, oranges, and kiwi)

are rich in Vitamin C. Vitamin C produces collagen which is important in building your hair structure.

Green tea, walnuts, and salmon are high in omega 3’s and poly-phenols and help keep your hair shiny.

Whole Grains, eggs, & soybeans contain a good level of B vitamins. These foods allow nutrients into hair follicles, and follic acid is naturally derived from these products; B6 is an important vitamin that assists in hair growth.

Spinach & broccoli provide you with vitamins A and C. These vitamins are important if you have dry/brittle hair; A & C help create sebum which is your hair’s naturally secreted oil.
