We all know that the foods we eat affect our skin and body, but that also includes our hair and scalp. Switching shampoos may not help a problem like a flaky scalp, but changing your diet can.

Eating basics like fruits, vegetables and lean meats in a balanced diet can help balance out and create healthy skin. Also focus on eating healthier fats like monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and omega-3 fatty acids. These "good" fats can help with your skin's moisture and cause a less dry scalp. You can find healthy fats in foods like fish, olive oil and soybeans.

Certain vitamins are also key to healthy skin and hair like B vitamins. These can be found in foods like tomatoes, almonds, cucumbers and eggs.

So next time you go grocery shopping, think about what foods can help you have a good looking scalp and hair.
