Vitamins:
Vitamin C helps absorb iron. On the other hand, vitamin C is needed by the body due to its antioxidant properties. It also participates in the formation of collagen, which is needed for the hair shaft. The best sources of vitamin C are strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, oranges, and potatoes.
Omega 3:
Omega 3 fatty acids are essential for the body and the body is not able to produce them itself. Omega 3 plays a role in the structure of the cells covering the scalp. On the other hand, it is necessary to maintain the moisture of the scalp and hair. Rich sources of omega-3 include: sardines, salmon, trout, avocados, pumpkins and almonds.
Vitamin A:
Vitamin A is needed for the production of sebum, which is secreted by the sebaceous glands of the hair and scalp and acts as a natural conditioner. Without sebum, your hair becomes dry and your scalp becomes itchy. Animal products and some vegetables such as carrots, pumpkins and potatoes contain this substance.
Zinc and Selenium:
These minerals are also necessary and essential for maintaining a healthy scalp and hair. These substances are found in fortified cereals, whole grains (with skin and bran), shellfish, meat, and eggs, and nuts are also rich sources of these two substances.
Vitamin E:
Vitamin E, which is abundant in nuts, protects the skin and hair from sunlight.
Biotin:
Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin that prevents hair from drying out and breaking, and is abundant in whole grains, liver, eggs, soy, and yeast.
