Eating your way to healthy hair

Keep your hair in a healthy condition by including lots of green leafy vegetables like broccoli, spinach and kale and sweet juicy fruits into your diet. Dairy products such as milk and fresh yogurt will also help.

Fresh coconut is also considered excellent “hair food” – sprinkle grated coconut over salads, diced fresh fruit, or rice. Cooking with certain spices adds flavor to your food and provides nourishment for your hair. Cumin, turmeric and black pepper are some “hair-friendly” spices.
