What Can You Eat for a Hydrated Scalp?

by andMe Bioactive Beverage 13 Jun 2022
[article] Do your hair look like they have been through a draught? Is your scalp itchy? Have you stopped wearing dark coloured clothes because of the snowfall-like white flakes falling from your head?

Well.. then you are suffering from dry scalp! No matter how many and expensive products like hair masks or serums for hair growth you use, your scalp will just not be able to retain any moisture. This happens because your scalp is incapable of producing enough oil or sebum or is dehydrated from the inside.

While you can practise good hair hygiene and nourish your hair with oil and hair regrowth serums, there is one more thing that can help you with dry scalp. This simple thing is food!
Yes, what you eat impacts not only your body and skin but also has an effect on your hair. Below is the list of food items that you can add to your diet and get lustrous hair and a healthy, well-moisturized scalp:

Salmon or fish oil

Vitamin D and protein plays a key role in maintaining healthy hair and scalp. Salmon is a great source of protein, vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acids. All the 3 components make a perfect recipe for a well-hydrated scalp.

Brown rice

Rich in vitamins, protein and fibre, it helps in keeping your scalp and hair healthy. They keep you full for longer periods and keep you from overeating. This helps in avoiding unhealthy snacking and keeps your hair as well as your body healthy.

Oysters

They are rich in zinc that helps in the production of androgen. As you know that hair loss and dandruff can happen due to low levels of this particular hormone. Adding it to your diet will help you fight against both of them. It also helps in retaining shine and health in your hair.

Walnuts

They are one of the best supplements for your hair nourishment and maintenance. They are rich in omega 3-fatty acids, biotic, vitamin E and copper - all the elements are functional in protecting your hair against damage from the sun and help in keeping your hair lustrous and rich in color. That’s why walnuts are also an active ingredient in fast hair growth serums.

Prunes

They are not only good for proper bowel movements but also help improve the texture of your hair. They are rich in iron and help in preventing hair loss, dull hair, thin hair and discolouration of your hair.

Carrots

You must have heard about carrots being a wonder food for your vision but do you know why is that? It is because they are full of vitamin A! Vit A supports the maintenance and function of skin cells as well as plays an essential role in maintaining the immune and circulatory system. It also helps in the formation of sebum oil in the scalp and keeps the hair well moisturized.

Eggs

You love eating them in breakfast! Don’t you? But these tasty breakfast items are also good for your hair! They are rich in two very important nutrients, biotin and vitamin B, that are important for healthy hair. Biotin keeps your hair shiny and lustrous, while vitamin B boosts hair regrowth. You will also find biotin and vitamin B infused shampoos and hair serums for hair growth.

Green leafy vegetables

They just pop up in every diet! Right? Well.. they are loaded with so many nutrients and minerals that make them a perfect fit for nearly everything! Including green leafy vegetables like spinach, lettuce and broccoli in your diet will also work wonderfully for your skin and scalp. They are excellent sources of vitamin A and Vitamin C, both the vitamins that help in the formation of sebum, the natural hair conditioner. Hence, adding them to your diet will help moisturize your scalp.

Flax Seeds

These tiny wonders are a rich source of nutrients like lignin and omega 3-fatty acids. They have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body that can prevent a hair loss condition called Cicatricial Alopecia. In this condition, your hair follicles get scarred, dry and damaged to a point where you can no longer grow new healthy hair.

Now that you have gone through the list of food items that you should add to your diet have a look at the items that you should avoid: Sugar!

This is something you would have any way heard in different contexts, but too much sugar can also impact your hair. A diet high in sugar and processed food spikes the insulin, which in turn triggers the output of oil. This results in an unhealthy, dry and flaky scalp.
Controlling your sugar consumption will lower the inflammation and minimize the appearance of those white flakes.

Additionally, make sure that you keep your body properly hydrated by drinking enough water. You should also avoid heating tools like curlers, blow dryers, straighteners and so on as they damage your hair roots and make your scalp dry. Scalp massage is another effective and easy way to treat dry scalp. Applying serum for hair also benefits hair in many ways.
