Foods that Aid in Hair Growth

[HoneyRockette]

Certain foods contain certain vitamins that encourage oxygen flow to the scalp. They don't necessarily stimulate growth, but they do encourage it. These vitamins are vitamins A, B2, B5, B6, E and niacin. Vitamin B is one of the most important because it contains inositol, which transport fat into the cells so your scalp keeps its natural oils longer. Vitamin E increases strength preventing breaking and splitting at the ends. Avoid foods with a lot of fat. They can clog the pores and make hair oilier. For shinier hair, eat a lot of protein rich foods.

I know that's right. My hair grows the fastest when I eat a lot of carrots.

I love soybeans, I wonder if it matters how you cook them. But never noticed a difference.

Another excellent post HR!!

I definitely believe this b/c my aunt would cook all of these things and insist that I eat it b/c she said that it was good for the skin, hair and nails. And during that time, my hair grew the fastest.

Thank you but I can't take credit. I didn't research this. All of this info was posted on the BHC four years ago.
