Your scalp is hungry. Feed it omega-3 fatty acids. That means salmon, walnuts, or flaxseeds. One study found that people who ate more omega-3s had significantly less scalp dryness. Quirky fact: your scalp’s oil production is directly linked to your gut. So, a bad burrito can cause a flaky Tuesday.
Drink water, obviously. Your head is 60% water, and if you’re dehydrated, your scalp is a dry raisin. Aim for eight glasses, but don’t be a robot—just sip throughout the day.
