Hair is made of keratin, a protein. Add foods like eggs, fish, lean meats, nuts, beans, and dairy to support healthy hair growth.

Don't Overwash
Washing your hair too frequently can strip it of natural oils. Aim for 2–3 times a week using a gentle shampoo.

Avoid Volumizing
Look for shampoos, conditioners, and mousses labeled volumizing or thickening to give the appearance of fuller hair.
