1. 蛤蜊和牡蠣：鋅能修復和生長組織，包括頭髮的生長，如果鋅不足，可能導致脫髮或頭髮生長緩慢，非海產的選項包括花生醬、奶酪、堅果和種子。
2. 木瓜、球芽甘藍和辣椒：含維生素C，有助提高膠原蛋白的生產，缺乏維生素C會導致頭髮分叉。
3. 花生：維生素B有助頭髮的生長和頭皮整體健康，頭髮是由蛋白質組成，生物素可以幫助頭髮長得快，其它的生物素豐富的食物包括蛋和鮭魚。
4. 月見草油：含γ-亞麻酸、ω- 6必需脂肪酸，是促進頭髮生長的來源之一。
5. 扁豆：蛋白質的來源，也含有人體必需的礦物質鐵和鋅，鋅能調控頭髮生長的激素。
6. 菠菜：含鐵和葉酸，是一種B群維生素，有助細胞生長。
7. 希臘酸奶: 含維生素D，能促進健康毛囊的生長。
Focus on these foods a few times a day and you'll see longer, stronger, shinier hair in no time.
Sea Buckthorn
WHY IT WORKS: It's rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C and omega 7s. "In Latin, it literally means 'shiny horse'," says Lauren Slayton, RD, founder of Foodtrainers in NYC. "And it's the essential fatty acids that it contains that help to make human hair shiny, too." While it's a common ingredient in skincare, Slayton, says she's a fan of taking it in supplement form daily (a shot glass worth).
Clams and Oysters
WHY THEY WORK: "Zinc is a mineral that is important in the repair—and growth—of tissue, including the growth of hair," explains Deborah Enos, a certified nutritionist in NYC. "If your body is low in zinc, you may experience slow growth of hair and actual hair loss." Some non-seafood options include peanut butter, cheese, nuts and seeds, she says.
Papaya and Peppers
WHY THEY WORK: "It’s the vitamin C in these two foods that help boost the production of collagen that surrounds hair and keeps it strong," explains Slayton, who recommends working these two vitamin-C rich foods into one to two meals a day (or other kinds if you want, too—i.e. lemons, oranges and grapefruit).
Peanuts
WHY THEY WORK: "They're one of the best sources of biotin, a form of vitamin B, which increases hair growth and overall scalp health," says Slayton. "Your body needs biotin to metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids, the building blocks of protein and because hair is made up of protein, biotin helps hair grow faster." Other biotin-rich foods include egg and salmon for protein, she says.
Evening Primrose Oil
WHY IT WORKS: "It's one of the top sources of gamma-linolenic acid, an omega-6 essential fatty acid that promotes hair growth," explains Slayton.
Brussels Sprouts
WHY THEY WORK: Again, vitamin C is crucial to growing healthy, pretty hair: "Brussels sprouts are a good source of vitamin C, which is important in keeping your hair vibrant and healthy because it's used by the body to form collagen," says Enos. "Even a mild deficiency of vitamin C can lead to split ends, so make sure to eat foods that have it on a daily basis."
Lentils
WHY THEY WORK: They're a source of protein and also laced with essential minerals iron and zinc. "Zinc regulates hormones that affect hair growth," says Slayton. "And some studies have found a link between iron levels and hair loss in women."
Spinach
WHY IT WORKS: "This vegetable is full of iron and folate, which is a B vitamin that is helpful in the creation of red blood cells," explains Enos. "While iron allows the blood cells to carry oxygen. And the two are a winning combination for your hair and the rest of your body, as well." Also, try adding foods that contain either one of these important hair nutrients, too. For example, asparagus and broccoli are rich in folate; garbanzo beans and Swiss chard are great for iron.
Greek Yogurt
WHY IT WORKS: "It's high in protein and vitamin B5 (aka pantothenic acid), a good combination for helping to increase hair growth," says Enos.
