As we edge closer to the holiday season, healthy eating becomes more difficult than any other time of the year (I’m looking at you, tasty pies and warm rolls).

While maintaining a balanced diet is vital to your body’s health, being extra health-conscious works wonders for your hair, too. Your hair is a part of your body—and no matter how many wonderful products and treatments you use on it—if you aren’t treating your body right, your hair will show it.

Adding some healthy (and tasty!) options to your diet is a simple way to look and feel better. Is your hair lacking shine and vitality? Add foods with omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon or avocados, to your meal plan. It will also help promote growth and keep your hair looking healthy and full.

If thinning is one of your main concerns, be sure to get your protein in there. Protein is a building block of hair growth; so, if you’re dreaming of lustrous long locks, go for lean meats like chicken or turkey. Instead of popping dozens of different vitamin supplements, go for some spinach. It contains tons of amazing vitamins, particularly vitamins A & C, iron, folate, and beta carotene, to name a few.

All of those amazing elements will give your scalp the love it needs to be a great growing environment for your hair follicles. With regular trims and a balanced diet, you can breeze through the holidays with gorgeous, party-ready hair.
