Healthy hair is a product of healthy eating. And while some women can get away with eating unhealthy foods without their hair suffering, others aren’t as lucky. It’s almost a no-brainer which foods are probably detrimental to healthy hair (think the same foods that are unhealthy for your figure). Still, just as there are foods bad for your hair there are plenty that are proven to prevent split ends, retain growth, add luster, and improve texture.
So before you re-up on your monthly hair vitamins try adding these foods to your grocery list and begin implementing them into your diet. They naturally provide all the ingredients of hair vitamins, and usually more.
Ultimately when you increase your intake of these healthy foods, you should try to decrease your intake of those tasty, but unhealthy foods full of sugar, sodium, and unhealthy fats. While there are a variety of foods that provide you with the extra nutrients needed for healthy hair, here are seven key foods to get you started.
Berries
Most hair vitamins are equipped with large doses of biotin. Biotin is a B vitamin essential to hair growth and good for your scalp. So what foods are rich in biotin? Raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries, are all high in biotin. Not to mention, they’re usually loaded with antioxidants for healthy, glowing skin. So if you have a sweet tooth, have a hand full of berries instead of a candy bar.
