This is is what you need to be getting out of food for the sake of your hair:
SALMON
Rich in proteins, vitamin D, B12, iron and omega-3 fatty acids. Not a fan of salmon, like me? Great alternatives: trout, mackerel, sardines, herring, avocados.
SPINACH
Rich in iron, beta carotene, folate and vitamin C. Alternatives: broccoli and other dark leafy greens, e.g. kale.
LENTILS
Rich in proteins, iron, zinc, and biotin Alternatives: red kidney beans, edamame.
GREEK YOGHURT
Rich in vitamin B5 and vitamin D. Alternatives: milk and cottage cheese.
BLUEBERRIES
Very rich in vitamin C. Alternatives: kiwi, tomatoes and strawberries.
WALNUTS
I hate them but apparently they are the only nuts that are rich in omega-3s! They're also rich in biotin, vitamin E & selenium. Alternatives: cashews (my fav) and pecans.
OYSTERS
Rich in zinc. Three ounces has a gob-smacking 493% of your daily zinc requirement. Some cereals and wholegrain breads are fortified with zinc but obviously they're not as rich in proteins as oysters are. Alternatives: nuts, beef and eggs.
SWEET POTATOES
Rich in beta carotene which is converted to vitamin-A. Alternatives: carrots, cantaloupe, mangoes, pumpkin, apricots.
CARROTS
Rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene.
BANANAS
Rich in vitamin B6.
BROWN RICE
Rich in B-vitamins. Also a great source of complex carbohydrates. You need the energy from complex carbs to build proteins. Alternatives: other whole grains Get your FREE ebook on How To Grow Long, Healthy Natural Kinky or Curly Hair. References: webmd, usnews.com, HuffPo
