The two things you need for a good head of hair and a healthy scalp is found in this slab of fish – protein and vitamin D. In fact, it also contains omega-3 fatty acids which are the key for hydrated hair shafts.

 

2. Good Old Avocado

Is there anything else this superfruit can’t cure? This honeybun moisturises your hair strands and scalp. You can either eat it up or make a paste out of an avocado and plaster it on your hair.

The plus side of eating it is that you’d also be getting a load of Vitamin C, Vitamin E and B6.

I can’t stress enough how important carrots can be to maintain a healthy scalp. The Vitamin A in it helps create sebum oil on your scalp. This ensures that your hair and scalp are moisturised.

Dandruff is caused by a lack of the hormone androgen. Dump half a dozen of freshly shucked oysters on your plate, and you’ve got a fabulous stock of zinc. This aids the androgen production and fights dandruff and hair fall issues.

10. Sweet Potatoes
