Do Omega Fish Oils help promote healthy hair growth?

• Question: Is it true that taking fish oils daily can stop hair loss and promote hair growth?

Answer:  Fish oil provides strength and shine to fragile or weakened hair.  A report published in 2013 focused on nutrition and hair found that fatty acid deprivation or deficiency can lead to hair loss, and this is why products like this that are enriched with fatty acids,  help boost luminosity, as well as resistance to breakage.

Omega 3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to open the hair follicles, promoting healthy hair growth. When the body is not getting the proper nutrients, the hairs that are lost regularly each day are not replaced easily, and hair loss may become a problem.

However, nutritional and dietary factors, including the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil, can influence your overall health and the health of your skin, scalp and follicles, which can, in turn, improve the health of your hair. You might not totally prevent hair loss, but you can make the hair you have healthier.
