Tangerines The vitamin C present in tangerines can do
wonders for your hair.
This particular vitamin helps your body absorb the iron from foods like red meat and spinach.
In one study, it was seen that a deficiency of iron can lead to hair loss.
That’s why you need to eat foods like tangerines that are rich in vitamin C.
The next time you’re grocery shopping, don’t forget to put grapefruit, lemons, and kiwis
in your shopping cart.
3.
Salmon Salmon is packed with all the essential omega-3
fatty acids.
These have anti-inflammatory properties.
Along with helping you stay away from diseases, omega-3 fatty acids can help keep your hair
thick and shiny.
Along with the fatty acids, salmon also has vitamin D, which can stimulate your follicles.
According to one study, vitamin D has the capacity to stimulate follicles that are dormant.
This means salmon can help prevent thinning hair or bald spots.
You can eat salmon on its own or add it to your dishes.
Salmon salad is a very healthy option to try.
Grilled salmon sandwiches ain’t bad either.
Just remember to avoid deep fried versions.
They are bad for your health, especially for your blood cholesterol levels.
4.
Spinach Spinach has a number of nutrients that can
not only help with your overall health, but also provide benefits to your hair.
When your diet doesn’t have the required protein, iron or vitamin D, you need to make
sure you eat the foods that supply you with it.
Spinach can help you with that.
It has high amounts of iron and magnesium, which can ensure your hair produces sebum.

9.
Lentils Eating lentils is another way to improve the
health of your hair.
Lentils are packed with folic acid.
This particular compound helps your body create red blood cells.
This is an important function, as red blood cells carry the oxygen to various organs in
your body.
This includes your skin and scalp, which means you will have better-looking hair.
10.
Liver As mentioned before, a deficiency in iron
causes hair loss in your body.
This is especially true in the case of women.
It’s available in spinach, fortified grains and pasta, among several other foods.
Liver is also heavy on iron.
It may sound less appetizing, but if you happen to enjoy the taste, it’s another great source
that can benefit your hair.
11.
Blueberries One of the reasons for hair loss is oxidative
stress.
It can also make your scalp less healthy.
If you want a healthier head of hair, you need to eat the proper amount of antioxidants.
Antioxidants can get rid of free radicals and lower oxidative stress.
Blueberries are rich in these antioxidants.
They also have a ton of Vitamin B. 12.
Oysters Another reason why your hair could be falling
off or thinning is a lack of zinc in your diet.
Various studies have shown that hair loss due to zinc deficiency can be reversed.
All you have to do is eat more food that contains zinc.
One of the best ways to improve your zinc intake is by eating a lot of oysters.
If you eat six oysters, you will get as much as 30 milligrams of zinc.
This is double the amount of zinc your body needs on a daily basis.
13.
Barley Similar to almond butter, barley is packed
with vitamin E. This will allow your hair to grow at a proper speed.
If you want better looking hair, you might want to consider barley.
I know it sounds kind of weird, but give it a shot.
14.
Walnuts Experts believe if you don’t have enough
polyunsaturated essential fatty acids, your scalp hair and eyebrows will become damaged.
If you don’t want that to happen, you need to ensure your diet has walnuts in it.
Walnuts are rich in these particular compounds, which will keep your hair healthy.
15.
Carrots Carrots have always been popular as a food
that can improve the health of your eyes.
But they can also help improve your hair’s health, thanks to all the vitamin A.
Carrots have beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A for your body.
This beta-carotene stimulates the scalp’s glands, while also helping your scalp with
the production of sebum.
Other orange-colored foods such as sweet potatoes and pumpkins also have the necessary beta-carotene.
16.
Halibut Halibut comes packed with magnesium.
This particular nutrient is key to making sure your insulin is at a healthy level.
Considering that diabetes has been associated with hair loss, it’s necessary that you
keep your insulin levels regulated.
Halibut has a few other health benefits, but its ability to stop hair loss is one of the
main reasons you should try it.
17.
Shiitake Mushrooms If you want to increase the strength of keratin
fiber in your body, you need more copper!
Copper can make sure that your hair stays its natural color without greying..
If you want to get the necessary copper, you can have shiitake mushrooms.
