Haircare Series Recipe: Scalp-nourishing
This recipe is a powerhouse of scalp-nourishing ingredients. Salmon is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for reducing scalp inflammation, maintaining hydration, and promoting healthy hair follicles. Avocados and walnuts contribute healthy fats and vitamin E, aiding in scalp nourishment and improving hair texture. The addition of microgreens and pomegranate seeds provides antioxidants, protecting your scalp from oxidative stress that can lead to dryness and dandruff. This elegant dish combines gourmet flair with natural hair care benefits, making it both a feast for your palate and your hair health.
