You are what you eat.....and so is your hair! {Part 2}

Welcome back to part two!  (Part 1 can be found here)
Let's talk about more healthy foods for healthy hair, and again, we've included recipe ideas to help you get these foods into your body.


6.  Eggs 
Did we mention protein last week?  Thought so!  Eggs are a great source of protein and also contain biotin and vitamin B-12 to make your hair say yay.

Check out these yummy egg recipes...

Baked Eggs in Tomato Cups

Artichoke, Leek and Potato Frittata

7. Whole Grains

I don't know about you, but finding a reason bread is good for me is a good thing!  It's also filled with zinc, iron and vitamin B.

Here are some tasty ways to eat those whole grains... 

Easy Whole Grain Artisan Bread

Whole Grain Salad with Beets and Goat Cheese

8.  Oysters

This one surprised me.  Maybe this is a reason to make a trip to the ocean too?  Oysters are good for hair because they contain a high amount of a powerful antioxidant - zinc.

So, how do you like your oysters?

Oysters with Lime Vinagrette

Pasta with Oysters, Shallots, Garlic & Tomatoes

(pair this with a whole wheat pasta and get two good hair foods in one dish!)

9. Low-fat Dairy Products

That's right, drink your milk.  Calcium is an important mineral for hair growth.

Don't want to drink plain old milk?  

Here are some other ways to get that dairy...

Frozen Blackberry Yogurt

Zucchini, Tomato and "Ricotta" Tartelettes

(these have a whole grain crust and 1% cottage cheese, another two for one!)

10. Carrots

No wonder why bunnies are so soft!  Filled with vitamin A, carrots are good for our vision and a healthy scalp.

There are plenty of other ways to eat carrots other than just in your salad...

Thyme Roasted Carrots

Warm Spiced Carrots and Chick Peas

(Yet another two in one - carrots & beans!)

That concludes the top ten healthy foods for your hair!  We hope you are inspired to eat, cook and enjoy strong, healthy and beautiful hair as a result.

Here are some salmon recipe ideas...
