Eat Your Way to Healthy Hair !

When it comes to beautiful hair, it's not just your shampoo or conditioner that matters; your diet plays an important role too. A well balanced diet is essential for growth of healthy hair fiber and hair follicles. If you suffer from common hair problems such as dry hair, hair breakage, dull hair, split ends or dandruff, then switching to a healthy diet can make a world of difference.

Here are top 3 food items that contribute to the growth of healthy and beautiful hair:

1) Eggs - Eggs are one of the best sources of protein, Vitamin B-12 and biotin which contribute to the strength and beauty of hair. Eggs can be consumed in variety of ways - raw, boiled, scrambled and fried, and all these forms provide nutrients for the growth of hair.

Apart from including eggs in your diet, you can also use egg yolk as conditioner. Apply egg yolk directly on your hair and wash it off after half an hour for silky and shiny hair.

2) Dairy Products - Dairy products are a great source of calcium, whey and casein which are essential for the growth of healthy hair. Make sure that you include plenty of dairy products such as milk and yogurt in your breakfast and snacks. If you are concerned about the fat content of the dairy products, you can opt for low fat dairy products such as yogurt, cheese or skim milk instead of whole milk products.

3) Whole grain products - Whole grain products are packed with iron, zinc and vitamin B which make the hair strong and healthy. The most healthy whole grain products are made from wheat, maize, barley and rice and are available in most supermarkets. Whole grain products are available in many forms such as snacks, cereals and breads, so make sure you include them in your daily diet.
