Can't escape those never ending bad hair days? We may need to dig a little deeper.

Here at Elemental, we’re big believers in “food as medicine”. This is because our daily nutrition impacts not only our overall health, but also the health of our skin, nails and hair. That said, there are some specific nutrients, like vitamin C, beta-carotene and protein that can support hair health.

Below, we are sharing 10 foods that support fuller, longer hair:

1. Acai Berries - antioxidant-rich

2. Cherries - vitamin C

3. Chia Seeds - source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids

4. Flaxseeds - full of protein and plant-based omega-3 fatty acids

5. Lentils - rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, including iron

6. Mangoes - vitamin C and beta-carotene

7. Oats - rich in fiber and high in the amino acid L-cysteine

8. Orange Peppers - beta-carotene

9. Pumpkin Seeds - rich in protein, iron- and omega-3

10. Spinach - rich in iron and vitamins A and C

If deteriorating hair health seems like a prolonged, worsening, or extreme problem, it is definitely advisable to check in with your health care professional as well.
