As for what foods specifically lead to healthy hair, Sauceda and other experts said wild salmon is the best choice, as it contains high-quality protein.
Frances Largeman-Ross, a registered dietitian, told the magazine that salmon contains proteins that promote hair health, as well as other nutrients such as marine collagen, omega-3s and zinc.

Professor Rajman-Ross also cited wild sockeye salmon (mainly sustainably caught in Alaska) as the option with the highest vitamin D content and suggested eating it twice a week.
Of course, salmon has been named as a superfood for more than just healthy hair. Salmon, a staple of the Mediterranean diet that was recently voted the best overall diet in the world, has a wide range of benefits beyond hair, including protecting against cancer, dementia, and heart disease.
Another study found that eating just two servings of fish, such as salmon, can reverse the damage done to your body by junk food.
