More important than external hair care and regular trimming is a healthy diet for faster hair growth. The right combination of nutrients makes the hair strong, shiny and healthier so that it can grow faster without becoming brittle. 

Foods that make hair grow faster

Vegetables: Iron from green leafy vegetables is important for hair growth. The more saturated the colour of the vegetable, the more nutrients it contains. Spinach, kale and chard are recommended for healthy hair.

Protein: Protein not only makes bones and muscles strong, but also the hair structure. Strong, resistant hair does not become brittle so quickly and needs to be cut less often. Good sources of protein are chicken, eggs, nuts and beans.

Wholemeal: Wholemeal products contain zinc and vitamin B12, which the hair needs for a beautiful appearance and healthy growth. In addition to wholemeal products, oysters are very rich in zinc.

Salmon: Salmon is rich in omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin B12 and iron. These nutrients make the scalp healthier and ensure fuller and faster growing hair.

If you don't particularly like any of these foods, you can take multivitamin products instead, which are particularly rich in the nutrients mentioned above. Artificial vitamins are less valuable than natural ones, but they still have a health-promoting effect on the hair.
