💇🏾‍♀️ Is Your Hair Breaking? Here’s the Nigerian Food You Should Be Eating

Let’s be honest—hair breakage isn’t just frustrating, it’s heartbreaking. You’re deep-conditioning, oiling, protective-styling… yet your comb still collects more hair than you’re comfortable with. Before you spend more on another miracle serum, check your plate.

Because healthy hair starts from the inside, and for Black women especially, our diet plays a MAJOR role in how our crowns grow, shine, and flourish.

At Liscious Kitchen, we believe food isn’t just fuel—it’s ancestral medicine. That’s why we’re bringing you traditional Nigerian meals that are not only delicious but loaded with nutrients your hair is begging for.

🧠 The Hair Breakage – Diet Connection

Hair breakage can be caused by heat, stress, over-manipulation… yes.
But one of the biggest silent culprits? Nutrient deficiencies.

Your hair needs:

• Biotin – to strengthen follicles

• Iron – to keep your strands oxygenated

• Protein – because your hair is protein (keratin!)

• Zinc, Omega-3s, Vitamin A & E – for moisture balance, scalp health, and shine

If your meals aren’t feeding your follicles, you’re starving your strands.

🥘 Top Nigerian Dishes That Promote Hair Growth

Here’s the good news: many of our favorite Nigerian meals are natural superfoods for hair. Here are some must-eats:

1. Moi Moi (Steamed Bean Pudding)

✅ Packed with protein, iron, and B-vitamins
✅ Especially great when cooked with egg and fish

How we make it at Liscious Kitchen: Smooth, flavour-rich, and steamed to perfection without excess oil—just how your hair likes it.

2. Okra Soup (With Ugwu & Locust Beans)

✅ Rich in Vitamin A, zinc, and essential fatty acids
✅ Locust beans = a gut + scalp health hero

Hair Tip: Slippery veggies like okra help improve moisture retention—not just on the plate, but in your strands!

3. Efo Riro (Spinach Stew)

✅ Ugwu (fluted pumpkin) = iron, folate, and antioxidants
✅ Strengthens hair at the root level

Served hot with: Ofada rice or swallows (wheat, amala, or poundo—your call).

4. Ofada Rice & Ayamase Sauce

✅ Unrefined rice = iron + zinc + magnesium
✅ Goat meat + eggs = complete protein combo

Your body—and your hairline—will thank you for this flavorful, iron-rich combo.
