I believe everyone has heard the saying "you are what you eat," and for hair there's a similar claim: regularly eating black-colored foods, such as black sesame, can improve hair quality, turn white hair black, and make hair better the more you eat. But is it really true that eating black foods can turn your hair black?
Some people say hair loss can be treated through dietary therapy, so how much black sesame should you eat per day for hair loss dietary therapy?
01
Research at home and abroad
Some studies have shown that black sesame extract can significantly enhance melanin production in B16 melanoma cells, and has an activating effect on cell proliferation, melanin production and tyrosinase activity. In other words, at least in cell experiments, black sesame can promote melanin synthesis. One of the pathological mechanisms behind hair turning white is a reduction in tyrosinase, so black sesame has the miraculous effect of turning white hair black.
However, the results of cell experiments and the actual process of white hair turning black in the human body are different. But compared with other so-called hair-blackening foods, black sesame is clearly more reliable, because it does not rely on the feeble claim of "eating black to supplement black," but is supported by genuinely positive experimental results. Taking black sesame as a food that can blacken hair is a correct view.
Can eating black sesame improve hair quality? Some foreign scholars believe that black sesame can add shine to hair, promote hair growth and regrowth, and also has effects against dandruff, against dryness, and deep regulation. So what about in traditional Chinese medicine? Black sesame has the effects of "tonifying the liver and kidneys, nourishing the five viscera, benefiting essence and blood, and moistening intestinal dryness," and is a sacred tonic. Regularly eating black sesame can have effects such as darkening and nourishing hair, lowering blood pressure, and beautifying and moisturizing the skin.
Therefore, whether at home or abroad, in traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, almost everyone agrees that black sesame is a food especially beneficial for hair, able to add shine to hair and promote hair growth, and black sesame does not have side effects like drugs do; it is itself just a food, so people with poor hair can eat more of it without any problem.

How to eat black sesame, and how much per day is appropriate?
How to maximize the effects of black sesame and improve hair quality by eating it? Here are three ways to eat black sesame for everyone.
(1) Black sesame paste
Wash and mash rice and black sesame, add 3 bowls of clear water, bring to a boil, then add white sugar and cook into a paste. Black sesame paste is a classic delicacy; it tonifies the liver and kidneys, moistens the five viscera, dispels wind-dampness, and clears deficiency fire. Taken regularly, it can treat conditions such as weakness after illness, premature graying of beard and hair, and dizziness from deficiency wind.
(2) Black sesame soybean milk
Soybean milk is also good for hair growth, and it is one of the most powerful natural drinks; adding black sesame makes it even better. If you have a soy milk maker at home, just add soybean milk and black sesame and blend it into soybean milk to consume; it is very simple. The benefits of soybean milk and black sesame are combined into one, making the effect stronger!
(3) Black sesame and jujube porridge
Jujubes and black sesame are also a perfect match, able to tonify the kidneys and nourish blood. The method is also very simple: put black sesame and red dates into the pot at the same time, first bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat into porridge. It is rich in nutrients and sweet in taste, and especially suitable for women.
....
Generally, these three ways of eating black sesame all have a good effect on hair; usually one to two bowls is enough.
In addition, you may not know that the Ministry of Health has a catalog of "medicinal and food homology," meaning that foods themselves also have medicinal functions, and black sesame is one of them. Medicines of course have contraindications, and black sesame should be avoided by people with chronic enteritis or loose stools and diarrhea. At the same time, black sesame has a fairly high fat content and is not suitable for eating in large amounts; it also depends on your physical condition.
So black sesame is indeed a food very beneficial for hair growth and hair shine. Black sesame cannot replace medicine, but for friends with poor hair quality, black sesame is still well worth strongly recommending.
