Sweet Potato Hair-Loss Remedy

And, for a kitchen remedy you can actually sink your teeth into, White suggests loading your plate with beta-carotene-rich foods like sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and pumpkin.

"Beta-carotene in foods is converted to vitamin A in the body, and vitamin A is necessary for all cell growth, including hair growth" says White. "A deficiency can lead to dry, dull, lifeless hair and dry skin, which can flake off into dandruff." So fill your plate with yams as many times a week as you can in order to keep your tresses long, strong, and lush.
