Vitamin E

Vitamin E

Another potent antioxidant, vitamin E is particularly effective at protecting against oxidative stress, as well as maintaining pH and oil levels and improving blood circulation in the scalp—all things that aid in hair growth. You can find high levels of vitamin E in avocados, broccoli, almonds, sunflower seeds, and spinach.

Zinc

A trace mineral that plays an essential role in hair tissue growth and repair, zinc also helps to balance the production of sebum in the sebaceous glands so that the scalp is well-moisturized and protected. Zinc deficiencies can often lead to a dry, flaky scalp, as well as dull hair and sometimes added hair loss. Amp up your zinc intake by making sure you eat plenty of whole grains, lentils, oysters, clams, and other shellfish, and pumpkin seeds.

Vitamin C

A powerful antioxidant, vitamin C helps to produce collagen, a protein that supports our hair’s elasticity and prevents our strands from splitting. It also aids the absorption of iron in food and helps protect the cells from free-radical damage, which can inhibit healthy hair growth and cause premature aging, making it a crucial part of any healthy hair diet. For an added boost of vitamin C, look to a wide range of fruits, including blueberries, strawberries, oranges, and tomatoes, as well as veggies like bell peppers and sweet potatoes.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is a crucial proponent of cell growth (a.k.a hair growth). It also helps the body to produce sebum, which moisturizes your scalp and hair follicles to keep them healthy and strong. Sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, spinach, and kale are all high in beta-carotene, which is what gets converted into vitamin A when digested.
