Let’s play a game: What do your hair follicles and houseplants have in common? They both throw tantrums when underfed. The difference? Your fiddle-leaf fig won’t sabotage your selfies when it’s hangry.

After helping clients regrow thinning hair, I’ve learned one truth: The right foods work harder than your $50 “miracle” serum. These 5 affordable staples are your new growth allies:

---

1. Pumpkin Seeds – The Tiny But Mighty Follicle Fuel

Why They Work:

• Packed with zinc (deficiency = shedding city)
• Contains magnesium to lower cortisol (stress = hair’s nemesis)

Eat It Like This:

• Toss on oatmeal with cinnamon
• Blend into “hair smoothies” with banana + almond butter

Wildcraft Bonus: Try our Pumpkin Seed Hair Rinse (soak seeds overnight, strain water over hair).

2. Lentils – The Humble Protein Powerhouse

Why They Work:

• Plant-based protein = building blocks for strands
• High in iron (low levels cause tell-tale temple thinning)

Pro Tip: Pair with vitamin C (bell peppers, lemon) to boost absorption by 300%.

3. Seaweed – Ocean’s Hair Growth Secret

Why It Works:

• Iodine supports thyroid function (sluggish thyroid = brittle hair)
• Contains amino acids that mimic hair’s natural structure

Recipe Hack: Crumble nori sheets over popcorn with nutritional yeast.

4. Eggs – Nature’s Biotin Shot

Why They Work:

• Yolks contain choline (boosts scalp circulation)
• Sulfur compounds strengthen keratin

For Vegans: Swap with sunflower seeds + mushrooms.

---

5. Blueberries – The Antioxidant Rescue Squad

Why They Work:

• Fight free radicals that age follicles
• Improve microcirculation to scalp

Fun Fact: Frozen berries have higher antioxidant levels!

The 3-Ingredient “Hair Glow” Smoothie

Blend until smooth:

• 1 cup coconut water (electrolytes for hydration)
• ½ cup frozen blueberries
• 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
• Optional: 1 tsp MSM powder for sulfur boost

When to Drink: 3x weekly as breakfast or post-workout.

Why This Beats Topical Treatments Alone

Your hair grows 0.5 inches/month from the inside out. No serum can compensate for:

• Gut inflammation from processed foods
• Protein deficiencies
• Hormonal imbalances

Proven Combo: Pair this nutrition plan with our Wildcraft Hair Oil  in Art of Hair wildcraft for 360° support.
