Nutrition for hair: the basics that matter
Protein, iron and a balanced diet for a healthy scalp and hair.
Hair is made of protein
A strand of hair is mostly keratin, a protein. Enough protein from fish, eggs, chicken, legumes and tofu is a good base.
Iron and other nutrients
Low iron is linked to shedding, especially in women. If you suspect a deficiency, a blood test through a doctor is better than guessing with supplements.
Crash diets
Very strict diets or fast weight loss can be followed by shedding a few months later.
No miracle food
No single food will grow hair. A balanced diet supports scalp health alongside consistent care.
