Healthy hair starts with what you eat
Supporting Healthy Hair Growth – From the Root Up
Your scalp and hair follicles need the right nutrients to thrive. Prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods that are rich in protein, iron, zinc, biotin, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids. These include leafy greens, berries, eggs, salmon, sweet potatoes, avocados, nuts, and legumes. These nutrients help strengthen the hair shaft, support healthy follicle function, and reduce inflammation that can lead to hair loss.
Avoiding certain foods is just as important. Avoid ultra/highly processed foods, excess sugar, and inflammatory oils can disrupt your scalp’s balance and slow growth. Staying hydrated by drinking water also supports blood flow to the scalp and keeps strands supple.
Your hair reflects the health of your entire body. When you nourish yourself from within, your crown flourishes.
Key Vitamins and Nutrients for Healthy Hair and Scalp
Protein – Hair is made of keratin, a protein. Without enough protein, hair becomes weak and may shed more easily. Sources: eggs, lentils, salmon.
Iron – Iron deficiency is a common root cause of hair loss, especially in women. Iron helps deliver oxygen to hair follicles. Sources: spinach, beef, lentils.
Zinc – Supports follicle repair and oil gland function. Zinc deficiency can lead to shedding and a flaky scalp. Sources: pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, oysters.
Biotin (Vitamin B7) – Helps strengthen hair shafts and supports keratin production. Sources: eggs, almonds, sweet potatoes.
Vitamin D – Plays a role in hair follicle cycling. Low vitamin D is often linked to alopecia. Sources: sunlight, salmon, fortified foods.
Do I need to get my Vitamin D levels checked?
Yes! Low vitamin D levels are associated with an increased risk of developing non-scarring alopecia such as alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium. Several studies have shown that patients with alopecia areata have significantly lower vitamin D levels than healthy patients.
Vitamin D receptors are strongly expressed in hair follicles and it is believed to influence the hair follicle cycle. Get your labs drawn and evaluated by a health care professional to determine if you require additional supplementation.
