The hair diet: Superfoods for optimal hair growth

Looking at a person’s hair is the quickest way to reveal their health. Here’s how you can improve your hair health with these foods, and get beautiful, luscious curls as a result!

Normal hair growth is around 1.25cm per month, and 15cm a year. Although your genes and age are out of your hands, you can control your diet. If you don’t consume the right nutrients, it can lead to poor scalp condition, which greatly affects hair loss.

But, if you load up on these superfoods, you can expect greatly improved hair condition and growth!

Red meat, seafood and beans

If you've noticed a lot more hair in your hairbrush than usual, it could be an indication that your body has low iron stores, or anaemia. Load up on iron-rich foods, like red meat, seafood and beans.

Eggs

Protein is essential for hair health and growth. And a lack of protein has been linked to hair thinning and loss. Eggs are a great source of protein and biotin, two nutrients that may promote hair growth.

Berries

Antioxidants can help protect hair follicles against damage from harmful molecules called free radicals.

Spinach

This dark leafy green is loaded with beneficial nutrients like folate, iron, and vitamins A and C, all of which help promote hair growth.
