From dryness, split ends and dandruff to oiliness, lack of growth and premature greying — these are some of the most common hair problems faced by people. And if these issues continue to persist despite trying out various remedies and treatments, it is advised you take a look at the root cause — which includes sleep patterns, intake of any external pills, and even diet. So are you doing it right?

Highlighting the same, dietitian Lavleen Kaur pointed out in a facebook video, "First, we need to find out the reason for hairfall. Is it because of crash dieting where you are losing out on the good nutrients like vitamins, minerals and proteins? Or is it because of issues like use of birth control pills, hypertension and blood thinners? Even after paying attention to your diet, you may witness hair fall if you do not sleep properly, are under stress or your water intake is not adequate".

So once you have identified the issue, make sure to include these superfoods in your diet, she advised.

Sesame seeds

Both black and white sesame seeds are rich in calcium. They also contain vitamins and proteins that help in hair growth.

Jaggery

It not only helps digest the food better, it also boosts red blood cells in the body which in turn help in hair growth.

Dry coconut

Dry coconut laddoos mixed with jaggery can be consumed, while coconut oil can be applied on hair.

Amaranth

Atta, seeds, laddoo — amaranth can be had in various forms as it is a source of iron, protein and fibre, which are essential for hair growth and texture.

Nuts

Almonds and walnuts are a good source of essential fatty acids. Pulses are a rich source of protein that is essential for hair growth.

A combination of all these can help in hair growth and prevent greying.

Along with food, it is also necessary to have an exercise routine. Sleep needs to be regulated as stress should be managed well.

She also suggested hair care remedies.
