Top 5 Foods for Healthy Hair

Like your skin, your hair's health is an outward sign of your inside health.
Nourish your hair from the inside out with foods for optimal hair growth. If your strands have been stuck at shoulder-length for years, try these foods packed with fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, and proteins for gorgeous locks.


And we're not just talking about the hair on your head. These foods can also help nourish your lashes and brows! Read on to find out which foods to add to your grocery list to promote healthy hair. 

Eggs 

Did you know hair is made up of protein? That's why incorporating plenty of protein-dense foods, like eggs, into your daily meal plan can help contribute to happy, healthy hair. Eggs are also full of other essential nutrients like biotin, vitamins A, D, and B12 that boost hair health and overall wellness.  

Avocado

As if we needed another excuse to eat avocado toast for the 3rd time this week. Avocados are jam-packed with healthy fats (Omega-3 fatty acids), biotin, and vitamin E to promote hair growth. You can also make an easy DIY hair mask with avocado for your next self-care night! 

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet Potatoes are one of those all-around great-for-you kinds of foods. The beta-carotene, which makes them orange, is an antioxidant that turns into vitamin A. Vitamin A is great for adding shine and luster to the hair. Sweet potatoes aren't just good for your follicles, either. They also help support your immune system, gut health, and vision.

Nuts

If you have a dry or itchy scalp, try adding nuts into your diet! Nuts like walnuts and almonds are among the most potent. These nuts are rich in vitamin E, which can help nourish the hair follicles and soothe an irritated scalp. Plus, nuts are exceptionally high in biotin, aiding new hair growth.


Try snacking on a handful of nuts when you get the after-lunch-but-before-dinner munchies.  

Seaweed

What better excuse for a sushi night? Seaweed is an easily digestible source of iodine, which helps support thyroid function and copper, an essential for keratin fiber strength. It also has high silicon and amino acids levels that stimulate follicles and encourage hair growth while rehydrating and moisturizing your hair for more shine.

Grab a pack of seaweed chips next time you're craving a savory snack!
