Hi! While your hair mostly depends on your genetics; stress, hormonal imbalance and poor diet have a great influence on your hair health and appearance.
Start by following a good diet - Eat adequate amount of protein. Your hair is made up mainly of proteins. Include skimmed milk, cottage cheese, lentils in diet. Vitamin C, Zinc and Vitamin B are other important nutrients for great hair health. So include lot of fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains in your daily diet
