We have all heard the term “beauty from the inside out” and when it comes to our skin, hair and nails, their health is truly a reflection of our inner self. Put simply, if your insides are healthy, you are far more likely to have healthy hair, skin and nails.
There are a few nutrients that really help with hair growth and hair health, so I’ve listed some food sources that you can add to your diet for optimum hair health. A little side note is that leafy greens are also an ammmmazing source for better skin, hair, nails and all around health. But, today I thought I’d provide some other sources.
Walnuts
Not only are walnuts a great nut source of Omega 3s, but they are also high in Biotin, one of the B Vitamins. Biotin helps encourage hair and scalp health.
Garlic & Onions
I’ve mentioned before that garlic is really a wonder food! Well, garlic and onions are excellent sources of sulfur, and sulfur is a building block for our hair.
Oysters
Red Peppers

I have heard lots about foods that are helpful to keep hair healthy but never knew that walnut and red pepper can also be beneficial for hair.
Very interesting blog. A woman’s hair reflects her life. A woman is
always peculiar about her looks and beauty. While surfing on the web, I read on the web that Oats, walnut, Spinach and coconut can help in promoting healthy hair. Also, I found on the web that Hair beauty supply online products that are available at http://www.ehairwig.com/index.php/hair-care.html are of great benefit to enhance good the healthy hair.
