What you eat can help or worsen your hair. What do you need to eat for long, healthy and beautiful hair? Here is a list:

1-Salmon

Obviously, fish is great for any diet and salmon is the fish for hair. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin B12 and iron. These can restore the shine in your tresses. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to retain a healthy scalp – a deficiency can cause a dry scalp and dull hair.

2-Chicken and eggs

With eggs and chicken, you can increase your protein intake. Hair and nails are composed of protein, so eating chicken and eggs encourages hair growth as well as curbs hair fall and breakage. Eggs are full of vitamins from the B-group, especially B12 and B7 (biotin). Chicken helps strengthen fragile hair.

3-Lentils

Lentils are full of folic acid, which is necessary in restoring the health of red blood cells. It’s also essential for hair growth and cell renewal. So, don’t forget lentils!

4-Carrots

It’s well-know that carrots contain vitamin A. Vitamin A encourages the formation of scalp oil. This oil is important to keep the scalp and hair moisturised and maintain their health.

5-Nuts

Nuts such as almonds and walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and zinc. Zinc is one of the most important vitamins in preventing hair loss.

6-Rosemary Essential Oil

Rosemary essential oil has been traditionally used to increase circulation to the scalp. Add a few drops per dollop of shampoo or, better yet, add a few drops of rosemary or coconut oil and massage your scalp regularly.

Vitamins

7-Vitamin C

Include Vitamin C in your diet as well. Vitamin C is necessary for the absorption of zinc, which will fight the battle against hair loss.

8-Vitamin E

Vitamin E is required to nourish damaged hair and to prevent breakage. It aids the body’s ability to manufacture keratin within hair strands to reduce breakage.

9-B-complex Vitamins

100 mg daily of a B-complex supplement that includes biotin and vitamin B6 can reduce hair thinning by increasing scalp circulation and rejuvenating hair follicles.
