Vitamin A
Vitamin A helps in the development of the cell gland and the formation of sebum (a waxy and oily substance, which protects the skin and gives moisture). They also give moisture to the hair. Vitamin A is found in abundance in carrot, sweet potato, spinach, pumpkin, milk, egg, curd, and fish oil.

Biotin also known as Vitamin B-7 provides nourishment to white blood cells (WBC) and the scalp. Vitamin B is found in cereals, almonds, meat, fish, seafood, and green leafy vegetables.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant. It also produces a protein called collagen in the body, which is necessary for the growth and strength of the hair. Strawberries, black pepper, and citrus fruits are rich in Vitamin C.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E helps reduce stress, and it has also proven to be beneficial for the skin. Due to this, the hair breaks less and grows faster. For Vitamin E, eat sunflower seeds, almonds, and spinach.
Copper
Copper deficiency in the body may cause Anemia, which can lead to hair breakage. Copper is found in abundance in sunflower seeds, sesame, almonds, apricots, dark chocolate, raisins, cashews, mushrooms, green leafy vegetables, and grains.
Iron
The body produces red blood cells (RBCs), which transport oxygen to the scalp. Its absence affects hair quality. Sesame seeds, red meat, eggs, green vegetables, and sesame seeds are all sources of it.
Zinc
Zinc, apart from aiding the growth of tissues, also makes the oil glands of the scalp healthy. It is found in meat, spinach, wheat, sprouted grains, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds.
