Berries: Berries are rich in vitamins and compounds that are beneficial for hair growth. Vitamin C acts as a potent antioxidant that protects hair follicles from damage and free radicals. It also acts as a protein (collagen) that prevents hair from becoming brittle.

All these have Biotin or vitamin B7 that helps in making hair grow longer and thicker. Snacking on nuts is one of the healthiest habits. Not just hair health, nuts reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and inflammation in the body. An ounce of nuts provides an impressive 27% of daily vitamin E needs.

Loaded with vitamins A, C, iron, and folate, spinach is at the top of the pyramid of foods that promote hair growth. In many cases, iron deficiency leads to hair loss. Having spinach and greens ensures that the protein and iron demands are met.
