You are what you eat may be true when it comes to the health of your hair.

A nutritious diet not only makes your hair healthier, shinier and more lustrous, but it also can prevent hair loss.

To keep your hair thick and improve its quality, essential fatty acids such as Omega-3 can do the trick.

That means eating foods like salmon, flaxseed, almonds or walnuts.

Eating enough fruits, vegetables and protein will help repair your hair and keep it moisturized.
