Hair is 88% protein. Eating lean protein helps restore keratin, one of the three proteins found in hair.
Green Leafy Vegetables

Green leafy vegetables provide essential vitamins, including iron, biotin, folic acid, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C and many of the B vitamins, that promote hair growth.

Oil or Water-Based Products

Alcohol-based hair care products cause excessive dryness and breakage, making it difficult for hair to grow long and healthy. Oil or water-based products are better for hair health.
Harsh Chemicals

Harsh chemicals, such as relaxers and permanent dyes, damage the scalp and cause thinning of the hair strands. Limiting your use of these products will help restore you hair's strength and ability to grow.
Treatments

Sometimes eating the right foods and using the right products aren't enough to prevent damaged hair. Protein, moisturizing and deep conditioner treatments help strengthen hair, thus promoting hair growth.
