rich in antioxidants and vitamin C. Protein, in the form of lean meats, beans, nuts and seeds can also aid in repairing damaged skin.

Overexposure to the sun, chlorine, and saltwater can also lead to parched hair. There are many foods out there which can aid in replenishing your thirsty hair. Burgers, shrimp kabobs, three bean salads, and other protein rich meals can aid in reducing dry hair. Because hair consists of protein fibers, any protein rich foods will benefit your hair during the summertime months. Furthermore, foods rich in vitamin B-5 (yogurt), Vitamin B-8 (cooked eggs), folic acid (beans), calcium (milk, yogurt), and zinc (fish) can reduce hair loss and encourage shiny and healthy hair all year long. So the next time you plan a hot summer vacation, try incorporating some of these replenishing foods into your diet.
