Here Are 7 Easy Tips To Grow Your Hair With The Right Diet:

1. Protein-rich diet

A diet rich in protein plays an important role in hair growth. The hair is 95% Keratin (a protein) and 18 amino acids (building blocks of proteins). Eating healthy proteins help hair growth while protein deficiency can lead to slow hair growth and makes them weaker. An Indian diet is particularly deficient in proteins; we eat a lot of carbs but forget proteins. Good protein sources include eggs, milk, paneer, yogurt, cheese, chicken, poultry and certain cereal grains like Quinoa.

2. Eat foods rich in Biotin 

Biotin is a B vitamin and is associated with healthy hair growth. Lentils are a good source of Biotin and so are almonds, walnuts and vegetables like Cauliflower and carrots. Lentils and nuts also add up to the protein in your daily diet.

3. Iron-rich foods

Iron deficiency leads to poor oxygen supply to our tissues and this includes the hair follicles as well. In addition to iron another factor - Ferritin is also important for hair growth and deficiency of which has been linked to hair loss and poor growth. Iron can be found in meat, poultry, eggs and Green leafy vegetables, fruits like Guava. Supplementation should be only under a doctors guidance.

4. Add more vitamins like B12, B6, and Folates
