Nurture your scalp and hair follicles from within with a varied diet based around the following foods
By Ronita Dutta, Beauty Editor

Nuts

You have our permission to go nuts and pig out on pecans, walnuts, and especially brazils. That's because these babies contain a mega mineral called selenium which is important for sustaining scalp health. They're also packed with zinc which is important if you want to stop your hair from falling out. Pass the cashews!

Oily fish

Oily fish such as salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B-12 and Iron all of which prevent dry scalp and dull locks. If you're vegetarian, up your intake of walnuts or flaxseed both of which are packed with omega-3 fats.

Oysters

Did you know that a zinc deficiency can lead to baldness? Scary! Treat yourself to the occasional zap of zinc with a plate of oysters.

Dark green vegetables

Green veggies like broccoli, green beans, pak choi, spinach kale and cabbage are a great source of vitamins A and C which the body needs to produce its very own naturally oily hair conditioner known as sebum.
