Super Foods for Shiny, Thicker Hair

Healthy hair is coveted. And your diet can go a long way in helping keep your hair strong. Below are some power foods to have healthier, fuller hair:

Brown rice

Brown rice is rich in vital minerals, such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, manganese, phosphorous, zinc, iron, and selenium. It also contains essential vitamins, such as vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B6, vitamin E and also vitamin K. These nutrients found in brown rice encourage cell growth and blood supply to the scalp, making them a perfect ingredient to treat damaged or thinning hair.

Eggs

Eggs are almost everyone’s morning best friend, and they’re a great source of the B vitamin, biotin. Biotin gets special attention for its role in strengthening the hair cortex, keeping your locks more resistant to environmental and styling damage. This is why I always recommend NicholsMD’s biotin vitamin when clients come to me with goals to help grow thicker, fuller hair.

Sesame Seeds

These tiny nutritional powerhouses are packed with magnesium, a mineral that has been shown to alleviate inflammation that can be associated with hair loss. Magnesium also plays a large role in cell growth and maturation, meaning that a diet high in magnesium can play a role in supporting healthy strong hair.

At NicholsMD, we know that diet alone won’t get you the thicker, fuller hair that you may desire, but eating the right super foods helps will complement the results of your hair restorative treatments, such as PRP Injections and our prescribed home hair and scalp regimens.
