Did you know that some of your hair issues can be solved with a change in your diet?

Here are some quick tips on some common hair issues and the foods that can help to tame them.

Lifeless Hair

Make sure you are eating enough fruit and vegetables to keep your body stocked up with the right vitamins and minerals. Aim for five portions every day.

Hair Loss

Hair is made up of protein so if you are not eating enough protein, this would cause an iron deficiency and subsequently hair loss. Add Vitamin C to your diet, also increase the amount of protein in your diet by eating red meat, oily fish - which is also good for promoting shiny hair - and green leafy vegetables.

Dry Scalp

A dry, flaky scalp is often a sign that you are not eating enough essential fatty acids. Good sources of essential fats include seafood such as:

• Halibut
• Herring
• Mackerel
• Oysters
• Salmon
• Sardines
• Trout

Dry Hair

Dry hair could be caused by a lack of iron or zinc. To boost the amount of iron in your diet, try these foods:

• Red meat
• Egg yolks
• Dark, leafy greens (spinach, collards)
• Dried fruit (prunes, raisins)
• Iron-enriched cereals and grains (check the labels)
• Mollusks (oysters, clams, scallops)
• Turkey or chicken giblets
• Beans, lentils, chick peas and soybeans
• Liver
• Artichokes

Brittle Hair

May be a side-effect of smoking. This is because smoking restricts the blood vessels, severely limiting the amount of fresh nutrients that can reach the hair roots.

Split Ends

Split ends could a be caused by a lack of protein and essential fatty acids.
