Proper nutrition for healthy hair

Even in the summer, it is important to pay attention to proper nutrition for healthy hair.

A balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins and healthy fats is key to healthy and strong hair.

The most important nutrients and foods that support hair growth and health:

Protein – the building blocks of hair

Since hair is made up of keratin (protein), it is essential to consume enough quality protein:

✔️ Lean meat (chicken, turkey, beef)

✔️ Fish (salmon, tuna, sardines)

✔️ Eggs (rich in biotin)

✔️ Dairy products (Greek yogurt, cottage cheese)

✔️ Legumes (lentils, chickpeas, beans)

✔️ Nuts and seeds (almonds, pumpkin seeds)

Healthy fats – for shiny hair

Omega-3 fatty acids help moisturize the scalp and prevent brittle hair:

✔️ Oily fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines)

✔️ Avocado

✔️ Walnuts, flax and chia seeds

✔️ Olive and flaxseed oil

Vitamins – key for hair growth

• Vitamin A (stimulates the production of sebum, which moisturizes scalp):

🥕 Carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach

• Vitamin B7 (biotin) (strengthens hair and prevents hair loss):

🥚 Eggs, nuts, bananas

• Vitamin C (stimulates collagen formation and improves iron absorption):

🍊 Citrus fruits, peppers, strawberries, broccoli

• Vitamin D (important for hair follicle growth):

🌞 Sunlight, salmon, eggs

• Vitamin E (protects hair from oxidative stress):

🌰 Almonds, sunflower seeds, avocado

Minerals – prevent hair loss

• Iron (prevents hair loss and promotes growth):

🥩 Red meat, spinach, lentils, tofu

• Zinc (helps with hair regeneration and heals the scalp):

🌻 Pumpkin seeds, nuts, beef

• Selenium (protects hair follicles and supports growth):

🥜 Brazil nuts, eggs, fish

Hydration – for supple and healthy hair

Lack of water leads to dry and brittle hair, so it is important to drink at least 2 liters of water every day.

Additional tips for healthy hair:

✅ Eat a varied and balanced diet
