Thick, bouncy, voluminous hair is a sign of vitality and as much as you rely on the shampoos and conditioners it is important to remember that what we eat can have an overall effect on the condition and of our hair.  It isn’t all about fancy treatments (though this does help immensely)  — it’s about making sure you are eating the right foods.

Here are the seven foods that give you luscious healthy hair

1. Salmon for extra shine

The key ingredient for a healthy scalp are protein and vitamin D. So pack your diet up with Salmon for that extra shine which helps improve hair strength and prevent breakage.
