Myth or reality: Eating fish increases hair growth?

So, is it myth or reality? The answer is somewhere in the middle. Eating fish regularly, especially fatty, low-mercury options can support hair growth, but it won’t work miracles on its own. Think of it as one piece in a larger puzzle that includes genetics, stress management, hormone balance, and overall nutrition.

If you’re looking to use food as a strategy to improve your hair health, fish should definitely be on the menu 2–3 times a week. It’s a nutrient-dense choice that benefits not just your hair, but your heart, brain, and skin too. And for vegetarians or those with dietary restrictions, there are good plant-based alternatives like flaxseeds, walnuts, and seaweed that offer similar benefits.

Closing tip: Pair your fish intake with a healthy lifestyle, hydration, and regular scalp massages. No single food, not even fish – works alone. But together, the right habits can unlock the lush, healthy hair you’ve been wishing for.
