6 of the best foods to boost hair growth

1. Dark leafy greens

You’ve probably been told to eat your vegetables, and you really should heed this advice. Green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale provide a healthy dose of iron, a mineral needed for healthy hair cells.

Studies have linked iron deficiency to hair loss because low iron indicates that oxygen and nutrients do not flow to the hair roots and follicles. This can prevent hair growth and/or make the hair grow very weak.
