We've all been there: instead of shiny curls, our hair looks more like a brittle horse mane. But before you invest in one (or two, or three...) hair masks, it's better to tackle the problem at the (hair) root.
Yoghurt
Yoghurt is a miracle weapon in the fight for great hair, whether eaten with food or applied directly to the hair. Yoghurt contains probiotics (healthy bacteria that live in the gut and strengthen the immune system), proteins, calcium, B vitamins and minerals. This strengthens and moisturises the hair. Natural yoghurt is best, of course, and if you want to reward yourself and your hair extra, add a dollop of honey.
Salmon
Salmon is not only great for the hair, but also for the skin and the omega 3 fatty acid balance! The high amounts of zinc also have a strengthening effect on the hair, and salmon also regulates hair growth and hair loss because it is rich in niacin, which also promotes blood circulation in the scalp. This potent hair elixir strengthens the hair, stops hair loss, gives the hair shine, heals and cares for it. And it tastes simply marvellous. Tip: Sprinkle the salmon with lemon instead of seasoning.

Egg yolk
Egg yolk contains biotin, pantothenic acid and vitamin A - the perfect cocktail to moisturise and strengthen brittle hair. Also ideal as a hair mask or for eating. Yes, egg yolks can be wonderfully hidden in cakes and tarts...
These top 3 foods for beautiful hair have one thing in common: they contain lots of vitamins A, B, E, C, iron, zinc, folic acid and protein. Yoghurt, salmon and egg yolk have the ideal combination of these substances for healthy hair.
