To strengthen your hair follicles and accelerate hair growth, include salmon in your diet. The omega-3 fatty acids, iron, and a sufficient dose of vitamin B12 will transform your dull and lifeless hair into the envy of your friends (2). If you’re not big on salmon, you can get your dose of omega-3 fatty acids from other fish like sardines, mackerel, or nuts like walnuts and flaxseeds. But don’t give this a miss, as it is important for your scalp health. You will be the talk of the town. Rapunzel will have nothing’ on your lustrous locks.
3. Oysters

It’s not merely an aphrodisiac or a popular delicacy. But, it also ensures quick hair growth since it’s full of zinc— an essential mineral for the hair, found in food sources. Consuming this mineral is vital for healthy hair, skin, and nails. A zinc deficiency can result in hair fall. In fact, alopecia (bald spots) is often caused when your body is deprived of zinc . So start slurping down the oysters and see your hair grow at a warp’s speed.

We can wax poetic about the positive attributes on the consumption of nuts till the dawn sets in, and we’ll still not be done with it. Almond is one such wondrous nut that can bolt in lustrous locks like no other chemical-fuelled products out there in the hair-care market can. They are rich in vitamin E that strengthens the hair follicles and helps the hair to grow (5). It prevents oxidative stress and enhances hair growth. Consuming about 20 almonds a day should keep that mane healthy.
5. Eggs

This one shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody who has taken a jaunt or several to the homespun hair spa route. It is full of proteins and amino acids (6). Proteins are quite vital for hair growth and amino acids work as the foundation for a great mane. Additionally, vitamin B12 which is necessary to get the hair growth going is also present in eggs.
6. Beans

We spill the beans on the boon of beans as a dietary requirement. If you want those lustrous and envious locks then get stringing those beans as it’s a necessary food that contains iron. Consuming them regularly can only help you to add some inches to your tresses. A lack of iron content in the diet can lead to major hair loss .
