5 tips for healthy hair

Written By JZ

1. Eat a Hair-Healthy Diet

Nutrition plays a vital role in hair growth. Include:

  • Protein: Hair is made of keratin, a protein. Eat eggs, lean meats, fish, legumes, and nuts.

  • Vitamins & Minerals: Focus on biotin (vitamin B7), vitamin D, zinc, and iron.

  • Omega-3 fatty acids: Found in salmon, chia seeds, and walnuts, they nourish hair follicles.

2. Scalp Care & Massage

A healthy scalp supports hair growth.

  • Massage your scalp with fingertips or oils like coconut or castor oil to improve circulation.

  • Exfoliate once a week with a gentle scalp scrub to remove dead skin and buildup.

3. Avoid Excessive Heat & Harsh Treatments

Heat tools, dyes, and chemical treatments can weaken hair.

  • Air dry when possible

  • Use heat protectant sprays

  • Limit bleaching or perming

4. Trim Regularly

Trimming split ends every 8–12 weeks prevents breakage and makes your hair look healthier, even though it doesn’t directly speed up growth.

5. Use Gentle, Growth-Supportive Products

Choose:

  • Sulfate-free shampoos

  • Conditioners with keratin or biotin

  • Leave-in treatments that nourish and strengthen hair
