Deficiency of these two results in change in hair colour and its strength. Having fermented food can help your natural hair colour to stay with a little longer.

Eggs for essential for hair health

Ever wondered why most of the hair masks include eggs? Egg white is the richest source of protein and in fact, eating one whole egg can help repair hair. Those with premature grey hair are low on vitamin-B12. Eggs can help replenish the lower levels of this vitamin. Boiled eggs are great for maintain and repairing hair health. If you are a vegan or vegetarian, you may have to depend on soy or cereals.

Dark chocolates

Premature greying an also happen because of iron and copper deficiency. Surprisingly, dark chocolates are a good source of both these nutrients.
