Nuts

Nuts are an amazing source of fat, fibre and most importantly for hair protein.

Most are high in omega 3 and 6, magnesium and Vitamin E. Due to the anti-inflammatory nature of omega 3 in particular, nuts are useful in helping to prevent metabolic disease too such as high blood pressure and elevated bad cholesterols.
