Fish
Omega-3s are important for the body’s ability to create new hair follicles. There are many sources of omega-3 fatty acids. As you may already know, a rich source of this valuable fatty acid is fish. However, you can also get omega-3 from plant sources such as flaxseeds or chia seeds. If you like fish, you can try salmon, herring and mackerel, which are rich in both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
Sweet potatoes
Sweet potatoes, as well as other orange vegetables and fruits such as carrots, are rich in beta carotene. Your body can convert this color pigment into vitamin A, which in turn is very important for sebum production. This oil-like substance protects the hair follicles from damage and ensures that your hair is healthy and strong. Other fruits rich in beta carotene are watermelon and apricots, as well as the vegetables kale and winter squash.
