Raw vegetables, juices of certain fruits and alliums keep the hair shiny and healthy. Here are a few foods that promote hair health.
Kiwis are a great source of Vitamin C and anti oxidants. The anti oxidants protect the follicles of hair, while promoting hair growth and pigmentation as well. Another fruit that is rich in Vitamin C is guava. In fact, guavas have double the nutrient when compared to kiwis. Like kiwis, they also contain anti oxidants that fortify the follicles.
The juice of garlic can help treat infections in the scalp. The anti bacterial and anti fungal properties of garlic help in the process. Another vegetable that is great for the hair is cucumber. Cucumber contains manganese, beta carotene, flavonoids and Vitamin C. Similar to cucumbers is aloe vera. In addition to Vitamin C and beta carotene, aloe vera has vitamin E, zinc, copper and iron. These minerals help with the immune system and, therefore, helps repair damaged hair easily. Rich in iron is also coriander. The iron in this powerful leaf prevents hair loss, especially in women.
