So many things can affect your hair’s overall health and growth. These factors include genetics, hormones, age, nutrients, and even food. That’s right… food. And what time of the year is it? It’s the holiday season with Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner. Typical of this time of year is eating and putting on “holiday weight.” But what if I told you that some of the things you’ll be eating could help your hair growth and health, and some of the things you’ll be eating can ultimately damage your hair? Well, it’s true. Choose your foods wisely this holiday season to help your hair continue to grow and stay healthy. 
These nutrients all help your hair:
Biotin
Vitamin D
Vitamin E
Iron
Vitamin C
Omega-3 fatty acids
Here are some options for things to eat during the holidays:
Blueberries
Blueberries contain the most antioxidants out of any fruit or vegetable. Antioxidants can prevent or slow damage to cells caused by free radicals, unstable molecules that the body produces as a reaction to environmental and other pressures. This, in turn, protects your hair from harmful rays, heat, and so many other things that can damage your hair’s health.
This holiday season, put down the refined sugars and reach for some blueberries!
Spinach
Not a lot of people give Spinach a chance as a side. It’s versatile in that you can saute it, steam it, use it as an ingredient in things like soup, or you can even eat it raw!Spinach helps red blood cells to carry oxygen to hair follicles and keep the healthy hair growth phases in action. Add spinach to your Thanksgiving lunch and reap the benefits of healthy hair!
Eggs
Eggs are packed with nutrients, including biotin. Biotin is one of the best over-the-counter options for hair regrowth. During Thanksgiving and Christmas, try eating eggs for breakfast and filling up a little bit so you won’t crave unhealthy holiday foods during lunch. You can even boil eggs and eat them as a quick snack in case you do find yourself with those cravings!
