WINTERTIME can take its toll on our hair - the dry air and cold temperatures can leave it feeling lifeless and brittle. Not to mention the absence of sunlight means our hair can take longer to grow due to a lack of Vitamin D. Even putting the heating on in our homes can have an impact on our locks - it can actually leave it feeling dry and frizzy.

And it's all about the superfoods that can actually work wonders for the overall health of our hair. FUE hair transplant experts at Harley Street Hair Transplant Clinic have revealed the best foods to help combat hair loss and encourage growth. And they explained that it starts with having foods that are rich in Vitamin C, A, D, and E.
The experts say: "Both Vitamin C and Vitamin A play vital roles in reducing inflammation in the scalp. Vitamin C helps prevent conditions like dandruff, while Vitamin A helps regulate sebum production, preventing conditions such as a dry or oily scalp.
"These issues, if left unchecked, could obstruct the hair follicles and hinder hair growth. "Similarly, Vitamin D and Vitamin E work together to promote hair growth. Vitamin D stimulates the creation of new hair follicles, while Vitamin E enhances blood circulation to these follicles, ensuring that they receive the essential nutrients needed for growth.
