Hair is 95 percent comprised of a needle-like structure called keratin which is protein glean; hence high protein is crucial to hair growth. This is sourced from lean meats, fish, eggs, tofu, and legumes so as to benefit follicle repair and healthy new growth.

Omega-3 helps to decrease inflammation levels and increase the blood supply to the head. Try to incorporate a serving of salmon, a handful of walnuts chia seeds or flax seeds into your daily diet.

Iron-Rich Foods
Lack of iron affects hair loss because it could just dry up and become so thin. Spinach, red meat, lentils and fortified cereals will help increase the amount of oxygen getting to the hair roots and shafts and will help increase the amount of available iron.

Vitamins A, C, and E

Processed Foods
High in unhealthy fats and sugar, processed snacks and fast foods can cause inflammation and slow healing after surgery.

Sugary Beverages
