- SALMON
When it comes to the health of your hair fibers, protein is key,—salmon’s got a lot of it. Salmon also boasts omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D, which help out with scalp health.
- SARDINES
Ditto to salmon’s benefits, if you’re more of a sardines girl.
- Trout
Want to switch up your salmon and sardines? Trout’s a solid way to reap similar benefits.
- POULTRY
More protein! Plus, poultry contains zinc, iron, and vitamin B12, all of which will help you out both with hair growth and avoiding excessive shedding.
- LENTILS
These are an excellent source of protein, as well as iron, zinc, and biotin, so they’re a solid option for vegetarians.
- EGGS
Eggs, of course, have protein. They also have many important minerals, including iron. Iron’s a crucial one,—not getting enough of it is a big contributor to hair loss.
- POTATOES
This veggie’s got beta-carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A. That vitamin A promotes hair health at the cellular level.
- CARROTS
Another great source of beta-carotene.
- APRICOTS
…And these guys, too.
- BLUEBERRIES
“The blood vessels that supply nutrients to the follicle benefit from vitamin C,” —and these berries are major vitamin-C providers.
- SPINACH
- Spinach has been dubbed a superfood for a reason—it’s a good source of iron, beta-carotene, vitamin C, and folate. All of those nutrients promote hair follicle and scalp tissue health.
- KALE
Swap spinach for kale when you crave something new—it offers similar benefits.
- BROCCOLI
…and same here.
- SWISS CHARD
Another good source of vitamin C and iron.
