Hair Clinic

This season is all about big swishy hair. Volume, waves and gorgeous shine. Pack your diet with nutritious superfoods and transform your hair in a matter of weeks. The added bonus? These superfoods are also great for glowing skin, bright eyes and super strong nails. This beauty boost will have you looking fab-u-lous!

It’s all about the fish

If you want thick, full, luscious locks then get eating plenty of fish oils. Salmon and mackerel are full of omega-3 which will keep your scalp hydrated and healthy. Hair is also made up of these fatty acids so packing these into your diet will keep you hair super shiny and strong.

Orange is the new black

Orange food is great for healthy hair. These foods are full of beta-carotene that your body turns into vitamin A. This is the key ingredient for the renewal of new skin cells, your hair and scalp included. A lack of vitamin A can cause an itchy, dry scalp and even that pesky dandruff. Eat plenty of foods like sweet potato, squash, cantaloupe, mango and apricots for a healthy boost.

Beans, beans good for your…

I know what you all are thinking! And no, beans are good for your hair! Kidney beans, chickpeas and lentils all contain protein to promote hair growth. Pack lots of beans into your meals to speed up the growth of your hair.

Get Nutty

Walnuts are another great source of omega-3 as well as biotin and vitamin E, all important for healthy hair. Want longer hair? Vitamin E also promotes hair growth so get snacking on those walnuts.
  
Egg-a-luscious!

This amazing hair helper is packed of protein and hair boosting minerals such as selenium, zinc and iron. Your hair is made up of protein so eating protein rich foods will promote hair growth and keep it looking healthy. Eggs also contain an amino acid called cysteine. This powerful antioxidant helps to protect your hair from sun damage and has the power to bond with other proteins to increase the thickness of each strand. Amazing stuff!

Top tip

For a DIY treatment apply egg yolk directly to your hair for improved hair growth.
