Healthy Hair Meal Plan

We thought it would be fun and helpful to put some of these “Hair-Healthy Foods” into a single meal plan, so you can easily combine them to benefit your hair in many ways at once. Here are a few easy ways to enjoy these nutritious and hair-healthy foods at home:

1. Make a big kale or spinach salad for hair moisture and added iron. Add some salmon for shine, sliced hard-boiled eggs for protein and biotin, and sliced avocado for Omega-3 fatty acids. For a little extra Omega-3, sprinkle on a handful of pumpkin seeds!

2. Prepare a soup from any of the following vegetables: pumpkin, sweet potatoes, or carrots (for vitamin A and silkier hair), or lentils (for added iron).

3. For dessert, scoop yourself a bowl of Greek yogurt (for protein and vitamin B5 for longer, thicker hair) and top with with a fruit high in vitamin C (to protect against hair breakage) such as guava, cantaloupe, mango, blackcurrants, blueberries, kiwi fruits, or strawberries. Don’t forget to add a sprinkle of cinnamon for flavor and increased circulation!
