hello:
thanks for the information.but tell me is there any shampoo or any vitamins i could ysed so my hair could grow.

Hi passion, I don't know that shampoo can make hair grow any faster.  Vitamins help your body to use the food you eat, so they can definitely help your hair.

Oh, I wanted to add eggs to my list. Eggs are good - lots of protein.

i hear soy beans have tons of proteins

Just out of curiosity, what's the big deal about yoghurt? (spelled wrong). I mean, it's basically milk and a ton of refined sugar- doesn't seem too good for your hair, skin etc. Yogurt has about 20 grams of sugar in it, which is probably half of what you should get in a day max.

For protein, soy protein is pretty good but don't overdo it. one serving of protein powder is 25 grams, and if you put it in oatmeal its really good.

oh and eat pineapples and bananas. they taste really good also.

Try the yoghurt with no added sugar,,,

Indian gooseberry is also good for our hair.It has vitamins which is useful
for growing hair.

Indian gooseberry is also useful for growing hair.

Yougurt is good because it contains protein. Sugar free yougurt is the way to go, regardless.

And Milk! Great source of protein and yummy too.

Sometimes it is hard to get all of thew foods that are good for your hair and when that happens you can take some supplements to replace those foods and keep your hair healthy.

Dark green vegetables (spinach) are good for your hair.
Just ask Popeye.

Eggs Eggs and more Eggs  Green leafy vegetables

I was vegeterian for 2 years, but when I went back to eating white meat and oily fish such as makarel (I don't eat red meat which is conveniant as it's meant to be bad for your hair) my sister said she thought my hair had become thicker. I guess because of the protein. So white meats like chicken and things like oily fish is good food for your hair =)

Also like other people have mentioned, seeds (sunflower especially) and nuts are good foods for your hair (and health in general!)

flax seed
collagen /natural/

Amla

Wow, this topic is really interesting I will love to buy those food and eat it so that I will have pretty, shiny and bouncy hair.

Black chick peas
Sprouted moong
All types of lentils
coconut

In my opinion, there is no specific food that has benefiets for the hair. You must have a specific diet which to boost all vitamins and minerals levels in the body. Through these kind of diets the hair will start to grow healthy. Raw eating is the best diet, but its hard to keep and it must be made by a specialist.

Thanks for all the great posts and opinions shared.  After years of experimenting I can tell you that my experience shows that very specific foods do have a direct impact on my hair - both positive and negative. 

There are many foods which will help with hair growth including:

Amla or Gooseberry
Aloe Vera
Fenugreek
Seaweed
Onions
Protein

Eggs, salmon, fish helps for healthy and long hair growth. Fish contains omega oil which is essential for hair growth.
