4. Lentils. Lentils are full of vitamin B-9, also known as folic acid. Like B-12, a deficiency in vitamin B- 9 can lead to prematurely grey hair because it is an important component of methionine. Methionine, an amino acid, blocks natural damage to the hair cells that can lead to a loss of hair color.
Beans also contain a good amount of iron that is necessary to prevent hair loss. To give your hair the much-needed nutrients for better hair growth, eat different types of fresh or dried beans including kidney beans, black beans, navy beans, pinto beans, chickpeas and soybeans. Beans can be added to salads, casseroles and side dishes. Beans can also be pureed into dips and spreads.
