To grow your hair long
✅ 1. Nourish From the Inside: Healthy Diet
To grow your hair long, you need a combination of healthy habits, proper hair care, and patience. Hair typically grows about 1.25 cm (half an inch) per month, so consistent care is key.
✅ 1. Nourish From the Inside: Healthy Diet

Vitamin E | Improves scalp circulation | Sunflower seeds, spinach, avocados |
Iron | Prevents hair thinning | Spinach, red meat, beans |
Omega-3s | Adds shine & reduces breakage | Walnuts, flaxseeds, salmon |
