Dry Fruits for Hair Growth
India is obsessed with hair — and increasingly losing it. 73% of Indian men experience significant hair thinning by age 35 (Indian Journal of Dermatology), and hair fall is the #1 dermatology complaint among Indian women aged 20-40. While genetics play a role, nutritional deficiency is the most common — and most fixable — cause. > Hair loss is the #1 dermatology complaint among Indian women aged 20-40. In most cases, it's caused by iron, zinc, biotin, or Vitamin D deficiency — not genetics. ## The 5 Nutrients Your Hair Needs Hair is made of keratin, a protein that requires specific micronutrients to synthesize: ### 1. Iron (Ferritin) Low ferritin (iron storage) is the single most common cause of hair fall in Indian women. When iron is low, your body diverts it from hair follicles to vital organs. Hair enters the "telogen" (resting) phase prematurely and falls out. You need ferritin levels above 40 ng/mL for optimal hair growth — most Indian women are below 20. ### 2. Zinc Zinc is required for DNA synthesis in rapidly dividing hair follicle cells. Deficiency causes hair to become thin, brittle, and prone to breakage. Zinc also regulates the oil glands around follicles. ### 3. Biotin (Vitamin B7) Biotin supports keratin infrastructure. While true biotin deficiency is rare, suboptimal levels are common in vegetarians and people on restrictive diets. ### 4. Vitamin E A powerful antioxidant that protects hair follicle cells from oxidative damage. Vitamin E also improves scalp circulation, promoting nutrient delivery to follicles. ### 5. Omega-3 Omega-3 fatty acids nourish hair follicles from within, reduce scalp inflammation, and add luster and elasticity to hair strands. ## Top 8 Dry Fruits for Hair Dry Fruit None yet — be patient...
