12 Foods You Should Be Eating For Amazing Healthy Hair

How your hair looks and behaves depends on a range of factors from age to weather, but two of the most important things that determine hair heath are genetics and diet. While the first of those is not something you can change (baby, you were born this way), the second of those is entirely up to you!

Fun fact: Did you know that, on average, your hair only grows about 0.5 inches (1.25 cm) per month? That’s about 6 inches (15 cm) per year.

But this number can change according to how healthy your hair is. Hair loss, breakage, and other issues can actually cause your hair to grow much slower. Again, this depends on a variety of factors, but food is one of the major contributors.
