Healthy Hair Superfoods: Tips From Your Affordable Hairdresser
Many individuals set a new year goal to eat healthier. While it can be hard to give up tempting sweet treats and salty snacks for healthy options, there is a compelling reason to keep on trying that you may never have considered: your hair. Having a healthy body and strong hair depends on eating vitamin-rich and nutritious foods. The team at a reliable, affordable hairdresser, Suki Hair, are here to give you some food for thought.
Sweet Potatoes
The antioxidant found in sweet potatoes and other orange vegetables, like carrots, peppers and pumpkins, produces vitamin A in the body, which helps prevent dull, brittle hair. Vitamin A also helps the glands in the scalp to produce sebum (healthy oil), which hydrates hair and produces Hollywood-worthy shine. Enjoy those delicious Beauregards mashed, barbequed, roasted or baked.
Spinach
This superfood contains iron, beta carotene, folate and vitamins C and A, all the essentials known to be nourishing for your hair. Whether you like your spinach blended in a morning shake, raw in a lunch-time salad or sautéed with olive oil, incorporate this leafy green into your diet to strengthen your hair against breakage.
Cinnamon
The antioxidant properties of cinnamon stimulate healthy blood circulation. Oxygen and nutrients in the blood help nourish hair follicles, promoting hair growth. Get your cinnamon fix with cinnamon oatmeal, sprinkle some on your apple slice or add a good amount of cinnamon to your favourite smoothie.
Greek Yoghurt
Besides being a delicious snack any time of day, Greek yoghurt is a powerful hair builder due to its protein and high vitamin B5 content. Eating Greek yoghurt will boost your hair’s health. Protein is an essential component of hair, and vitamin B5 helps increase blood flow to your scalp.
