If you want a healthy head of hair, start with your insides first. What are you feeding yourself? Diet plays a very important part when it comes to our looks. These superfoods will have your hair growing, shiny, and healthy.
Blueberries
This little berry has a lot of power. Not only does it enhance your brain health. Your skin and hair will thank you too. Blueberries have a plant chemical called proanthocyanidins. This is a plant chemical that interacts with hair follicles to speed up the growth process.
Spinach
This dark leafy green will give you a wonderful source of iron, calcium, and folic acid. It also has sebum, also known as the body’s natural hair conditioner. This is an oily substance that is secreted by your hair follicles.
Nuts
Between the protein, zinc, and the omega-3 fatty acids. Nuts are a wonderful addition to your diet for hair growth.
Sweet Potatoes
With loads of beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A, you can’t go wrong with indulging in some sweet potatoes. Vitamin A is known to protect against dry and dull hair which can also dandruff.
What is your favorite food that helps hair growth?

Thank you for this info! I didn't know that about the blueberries and my hair needs all the help it can get right now, after my recent experimentations with colors and bleaching... Will definitely have to eat blueberries more often! ;)
