Eggs
From protein to iron, eggs actually help to prevent hair loss so make sure to scramble or poach a few every so often.

Eggs - We included these because you can have them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Eggs are full of protein and give you lots of energy which will inevitably make you smile.

Spinach
As well as being a healthy snack, spinach is full of vitamin C which keeps hair looking healthy and shiny.
