I'm amazed at all the shampoo and conditioners on the market today. You can find one for every hair type, to fix any problem. Shampoo and conditioner alone won't give you healthy hair. I've had excellent results by putting a tiny bit of virgin coconut oil on my hair.
Hair grows about 1/4 to 1/2 inch every month. How our hair, skin and nails grow is linked to nutrients we get from food. Food is key.
Food will not give you thicker hair if that isn't your hair type but a diet of healthy protein, omega fatty acids, vitamins A - C - B12, biotin, zinc and iron can help.
Fish especially salmon is good because it's an omega - fatty acids food. Dark green vegetables like seaweed, broccoli, spinach and kale are a reasonable source of omega-3 essential fatty acids if eaten regularly.
Other green vegetables, like spring greens, dark salad leaves, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, & parsley are reasonable sources of omega-3.
Dark Green Leafy Vegetables
Yet another reason to get more veggies in your body!
Spinach, broccoli and Swiss chard, are a sample of veggies with an excellent source of vitamins A and C. Your body produces a natural hair conditioner sebum from eating veggies high in vitamins A and C. Dark green vegetables also provide iron, calcium and omega 3 fatty acids
Beans - Lentils
Legumes like kidney beans and lentils provide protein to help hair growth. They also supply iron, zinc, and biotin. Biotin deficiencies can result in brittle hair.
Nuts
Brazil nuts are rich in selenium, and walnuts are rich in ellagic acid. The walnut is considered a brain food but is still good for hair and skin.
Poultry
Inadequate protein or low-quality protein diets can cause weak brittle hair. A profound protein deficiency can result in loss of hair color. Poultry also provides iron with a high degree of bioavailability, meaning your body can easily reap its benefits.
Eggs
Eggs are one of the best protein sources you can find.
They also contain biotin and vitamin B-12, which are important beauty nutrients.
Whole Grains
Whole grains, including whole-wheat bread and whole-grain breakfast cereals are good sources of zinc, iron, and B vitamins.
Pork and Button Mushrooms are loaded with zinc, an antioxidant.
Low-Fat Dairy Products
Low-fat skim milk and yogurt are good sources of calcium, an important mineral for hair growth.
