Healthy Hair Tips

* Salmon is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B-12 and iron, all of which keep hair lustrous and strong and the scalp well moisturized so hair doesn’t appear dull and dry.

* Dark green vegetables (think spinach and broccoli!) are packed with vitamins A and C that help the body produce sebum which is hair’s natural conditioner. Leafy green veggies also contain iron and calcium that strengthen the hair.

* Beans are rich in protein and promote healthy hair growth.

* Nuts carry many benefits for hair! Brazil nuts contain the mineral Selenium, which helps hair grow thick and shiny. Walnuts are high in alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that can help keep hair moisturized. Walnuts, as well as cashews, pecans and almonds are all great sources of zinc which can prevent hair loss.

* Poultry is a great source of protein. A diet lacking in protein can lead to brittle, weak hair, and in some cases hair loss
