Healthy hair foods - 4 you've got to try

It takes all kinds of motivation for folks to eat healthy. For some, a thin and trim body might be just the incentive. For others, good health is key. If it's a great head of hair you desire, I've got good news for you: These nutritious foods can deliver.

• Salmon. Omega-3-rich foods, like salmon and sardines, seal in shine.
• Bran. It's full of vitamin B, which slows hair loss and promotes growth. Also good: Beans, peas, carrots, cauliflower, nuts, and eggs.
• Avocados. These protect hair follicles.
• Green tea. Brew a strong pot, cool it, and then give your head a rinse to kill dandruff-causing fungus. Hey, the caffeine may ward off balding too.
  

Steer clear of animal fat if you're losing your hair -- it can cause follicle damage.
