Answer this simple question dear women— do you feel beautiful when you’re having a good hair day? We’re sure most of you answered a ‘yes.’ And we aren’t surprised by this majority answer either. For centuries, healthy and long hair has been one of the many signs of beauty. But for most of us, achieving the hair that we dream of is a distant dream. Like everything else in this world, your hair too comes with its own set of maintenance problems. And among them, it’s the problem of hairfall that’s the worst nightmare, isn’t it?

When hairfall comes knocking at our door, where do we find the solution to it? We robotically purchase anything that comes in the market which has the label of ‘hairfall solution’ to it, and start using it on our hair. Only to realize much later that those hairfall solution products ended up doing more harm than good to our mane. What we forget to understand is that beautiful hair is an outcome of what we feed our bodies. If we much on junk all day long, it’s bound to impact the strength of our hair. Therefore, keeping this in mind, we present to you seven must eat foods that will help solve the problem of hairfall.
1. Salmon

If you’re a seafood lover, gorge on some fresh salmon as it benefits hair growth a lot. This fish brims with Omega-3 fatty acids and fills up for the dearth of the same which our body cannot make on its own. At times, hairfall is caused because of inflammation as well and the anti-inflammatory properties of salmon help to battle this problem very efficiently. It strengthens the hair, maintains its natural beauty and keeps other hair problems like scalp infections and dandruff away (1).
2. Oats

We all know of oats as one of the best foods that facilitate weight loss; what we don’t know is that its benefits don’t just end there. Oats are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids, PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids), iron, fiber, and zinc — these are all the ingredients that make for a very strong hair recipe (2). Having a bowl of oats every morning with your choice of fresh toppings will help you achieve healthy and thick hair in no time.
3. Spinach

Elastin is a vital protein that allows our body to get back to its shape after expansion and contraction while carrying out its bodily functions. This protein is also present in our hair. The oils that can be extracted from walnut play a major role in maintaining the elasticity of our hair (4). If our hair is rigid, it gets more prone to breakage. Apart from the elastin protein, walnuts are also rich in biotin, vitamin E, magnesium, vitamins (B1, B6, B9), etc. All these help in strengthening the hair cuticles.
5. Eggs
