Hair fall is a MAJOR problem for a lot of us. The feeling after a shower when you see all that hair in the drain and wonder if you will have any left.

While we cant give you a shortcut to solve your hair fall problems by tomorrow, we can tell you that adding these 3 major superfoods could really improve your hair quality over time.
Heres our list of superfood that help combat hair fall over time.
Spinach has been known to be a great source of iron, the deficiency of which could be the root cause of the hair fall in the first place. It also contains sebum which acts as a natural conditioner for the hair. Add it to a smoothie, salad, or vegetable and let it help you out.

Okay, we get it. This might not be a superfood but it is a food group that you need to have more of.

Other dry fruits like almonds and pistachios are also a great source of fatty acids. Honestly, all you need to do is replace one of your snacks with trail mix. To this trail mix, it would do you well to add sunflower seeds which are rich in vitamins and zinc. You could add this combination to a bowl of yoghurt also. A fistful a day will go a long way!
Lentils and pulses are really an underrated food group. It isnt just an accompaniment to the main meal but it is a hidden source of protein, iron, zinc, and biotin which are all essential nutrients that the hair and skin need. They also have a high folic acid count; this improves the health of the red blood cells which ensure that the proper amount of oxygen reaches your scalp.
