Eating right and hair growth.

I dunno about broccoli. Protein, maybe.

Since I've started eating lots of meat, I've noticed my hair grows thicker, my nails are shinier and stronger, and my skin looks better. Heard it was because of the increased gelatin intake. I don't know how a vegetarian might be able to manage this--eat more avocados maybe?

It has its drawbacks: I used to rely on using the keyboard to make my nails short--now they won't break or wear down anymore and I have to clip them!

If you want to be really good to your hair, make sure you're not using a shampoo containing sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate. That stuff dries out your hair, makes it brittle and more likely to break, and nearly all shampoos use it. The ones that don't are on the more expensive side, but they're also better on your hair. They also tend not to have preservatives, so if you don't close the lid, bacteria might flourish in your shampoo. :P

Is your hair already long? For me, my hair will get to almost my butt and then stop growing, it will start falling out more. I have to keep it, the longest, at the middle of my back for it to be long and not thin. I dont know anything about foods helping it grow, i havnt noticed a difference in my hair or nails they are still as crappy as ever.

Myth. I have less hair each year and I eat around 180g of protein a day and normally a serving of broccoli or two per day.

I only use designer products for my hair like Redkin, Big Healthy Hair and Paul Mitchell.

Even designer products have sodium lauryl sulfate. If you care about your hair as much as what you eat, make sure to actually read and research the ingredients in your shampoo just like you do with your food.

Even the most expensive, designer shampoo can contribute to destroying your hair. It did for me, so I'll take Organix over Paul Mitchell any day. :P

Sometimes the cheapest products are the best....

Anyway, yes eating more protein will help. First thing first, your hair needs the nutrients to grow (so eating healthy in general). Drinking lots of water will also help.

Otherwise it's all about how you treat your hair. You can't expect it to grow if you treat it like crap because then it will just keep breaking off and you won't notice any growth.

There are plenty of other things that can help your hair grow. Just send me a message if you wanna know. I had chin length hair five years ago and now I have hair to the bottom of my butt.

ETA: I also gave up using shampoo a long time ago. I actually ONLY use conditioner to clean my hair and it is always sooooo nice and soft and clean.

You could do either of those, but a better way to get your omegas is to just eat more flax. Sprinkle whole flax seeds some on your cereal or use flaxmeal to make no-flour muffins/bread. Maybe even take a spoonful of flaxseed oil each day.

However, if you want beautiful, strong, healthy hair, you should definitely research what you put on it. Some people(like the above) even go shampoo-free after learning about how much damage some shampoos can do. Apple cider vinegar and baking soda is a popular remedy.
