Ingredients that Benefit Hair Growth:
Watermelon is packed with Vitamin C, which helps your body to use non-heme iron – this ensures that enough iron is in your red blood cells to assist in carrying oxygen to your hair follicles, promoting healthy hair. Collagen is also needed for healthy hair growth and watermelon helps promote collagen formation. And just in case you don’t know, collagen also strengthens the scalp’s dermis and helps antioxidants fight free radicals which damage the hair. Notably, collagen is an anti-aging protein and can even prevent age-related hair loss.
Dark Chocolate improves circulation also helps fight hair loss. Nutrients in dark chocolate not only boost hair growth but also improve the quality of your tresses by adding strength to each strand and making them lustrous and soft.
Lime juice is beneficial in promoting hair growth. It has been used to treat baldness, hair thinning and hair loss problems for ages now. The main nutrient that promotes hair growth is Vitamin C, that is present in limes in large amounts.
A great addiotiton to any hair growth routine is a great hair growth vitamin to maximize your hair growth rate. The one I found is called Divine Locks

Disclaimer: This recipe is filled with healthy fruits and vegetables that are not just beneficial to your hair, but also to the overall health of your body and it’s functions. Keep in mind everybody is different, and each of our bodies require different things to operate at it’s own individual best at any given time. Our bodies know what we need and where to use these different nutrients most effectively in our individual bodies. So yes, we may want these vitamins and nutrients to go directly to benefit our hair, but it may not work like that if those vitamins and nutrients are needed somewhere else in your body at that time. But don’t give up and have faith. Just keep giving your body all these good things and have faith that your hair will benefit in due time. Always consult a physician if you plan on introducing any new foods into your diet, to avoid any food related allergies. Especially if you are currently on any form of medication. Different fruits, vegetables and vitamins may cause your medication to react negatively and/or become not as effective.
Like in the Good Book- “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
