HAIR FOOD 1: Walnuts
Walnuts (known as Asala in Yoruba or Ukpa in Igbo) contain alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid and oils that contribute to the elastin in your hair to encourage hair growth.
HAIR FOOD 2: Eggs
When it comes to healthy hair, eggs are always great but make sure you’re eating the whole thing. The yolk is where all the vitamins and nutrition are.
Eggs are also a huge source of Biotin and vitamin B-12, which are important nutrients for strengthening and repairing hair follicles and stopping hair loss.
HAIR FOOD 3: Carrots
Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, which promotes a healthy scalp along with good vision. Since a healthy scalp is essential for a shiny, well-conditioned head of hair, you’d be wise to include carrots in your diet as snacks or toppings on your salad.
HAIR FOOD 4: Salmon
Fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel are packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Your body can’t make these healthy fats, so you have to get them from food or supplements.
They help protect you from disease, but your body also needs them to grow hair and keep it shiny and full.
HAIR FOOD 5: Dark Green Vegetables
Dark green leafy vegetables like Tete, pumpkin leaves(ugwu), spinach are full of amazing nutrients like vitamin A, iron, beta carotene, folate, and vitamin C.
These work together for a healthy scalp and keep your hair moisturized so it doesn’t break.
