Diet is very important for beautiful hair.

A protein-rich diet is important, including red meat, poultry, eggs, fish, pulses, liver and low-fat dairy products (cheese, cottage cheese). Low-calorie or detox diets can also have an effect on our hair and nails.

A low-protein, low-fat diet will result in weaker hair, which will be prone to breakage, and weaker and more brittle nails. Iron deficiency can also cause hair and nails to become weaker.  Iron can be replenished from lean red meats, oily fish, spinach, peas, lentils, eggs, beans. Zinc deficiencies can also make our nails and hair weak. Sources include poultry, seafood, cheese, eggs, nuts. It is also very good to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water a day and eat plenty of fruit and vegetables.

Vitamins for healthier hair:
 

- Vitamin A: Without vitamin A, hair can start to break and, in severe cases, even start to fall out. To make up for it, eat carrots, liver, melons, tomatoes, honey, sea fish, eggs, milk and cereals. For better results, prepare and eat these with a spoonful of oil or fat, as vitamin A is dissolved in them.

- Vitamin B: Vitamin B can make your hair stronger and less dandruffy. It is also thought to help delay the onset of greying. To replace it, eat eggs, salmon, bananas, spinach or avocado.

- Vitamin C: Vitamin C helps hair grow faster. For those who want long hair, vitamin C is particularly important. You can get vitamin C by eating spinach, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, strawberries, raspberries, oranges, blueberries, peppers, grapefruit and lemons.

- Vitamin E: Vitamin E helps to achieve stronger, thicker, shinier hair. Vitamin E can be obtained by consuming vegetable oils such as pumpkin seed oil, olive oil and sunflower oil.

We can contribute to the beauty and health of our hair by taking a variety of vitamins, multivitamins and supplements.
