Omega-3s nourish your hair and support


thick, healthy growth. Your body doesn’t
produce this fat naturally, so try to eat 2
servings of fish per week to get enough of
it.[7] Nuts and seeds (especially walnuts,
almonds and flaxseeds) are also good
sources of Omega-3s if you’re vegetarian or
vegan.[8]
 If you’re a teen or older, aim to eat

at least 1.1 g (0.039 oz) of Omega-3


fatty acids per day.[9]
 Try taking just 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL)

of flaxseed oil a day to meet your


needs if you can’t find enough
Omega-3s in your diet.

Some people claim that essential oils
make their hair thicker and
denser. Choose your favorite oil
out of rosemary,
peppermint, lavender, tea tree, or
thyme (they’re all great for hair)
and dilute 2-3 drops in about
2 fl oz (59 mL) of a carrier oil
like grapeseed, jojoba, or even
olive oil. Add the mixture to
your hair like a conditioner and
leave it in for 30 minutes, then
rinse.[10]
 Put a drop of your oil of choice on

the back of your wrist as a test. If


an hour passes and you don’t show
any irritation, the oil is safe to use
in your hair.
 Never apply undiluted essential oils

to your hair. They’re very potent


and could cause damage instead of
encouraging growth.
