The saying “you are what you eat” applies to your hair and scalp too. Nutrition plays a powerful role in how your scalp feels and how your hair grows. At T Scalp Therapy & Spa in Fountain Valley, we encourage clients to care for their scalp not just from the outside, but also from within.


Here’s a list of the best foods that support scalp health and promote strong, healthy hair growth.

Omega-3s: One of the Best Foods for Scalp Health

Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines are full of omega-3 fatty acids, which help hydrate the scalp and reduce dryness. For plant-based options, flaxseeds and chia seeds are excellent alternatives.


Protein for Stronger Strands

Hair is primarily made of protein, so eating enough is essential for growth. Eggs, lean meats, beans, and lentils provide the building blocks your follicles need to create stronger strands.


Iron for Circulation

Iron supports healthy blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your scalp. Spinach, kale, pumpkin seeds, and lean red meat are great sources. Low iron levels are often linked to increased shedding.


Vitamins for Balance

  • Vitamin A (sweet potatoes, carrots): encourages sebum production for natural moisture.

  • Vitamin C (citrus, berries): boosts collagen and helps absorb iron.

  • Vitamin E (almonds, sunflower seeds): supports circulation and reduces oxidative stress.


Zinc for Growth & Repair

Zinc helps repair scalp tissue and keeps follicles functioning. Foods like chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, and cashews are excellent sources.

Hydration for Scalp Wellness

Don’t forget water. Staying hydrated supports circulation and helps maintain a comfortable, balanced scalp environment. Pair hydration with nutrient-rich meals for the best results.


Professional Scalp Support

While nutrition is key, external care matters too. Our Calm, Restore, and Glow rituals combine wellness with scalp therapy, creating the perfect environment for your hair to thrive.


What you eat shows up in the strength and shine of your hair. By nourishing your scalp with the right foods and pairing it with professional treatments, you set the stage for healthier, fuller growth.
