Foods that promote FASTER hair growth!!!

[Chadolution]

Tofu is good for your hair because it contains protein, and the soy beans that it's made from contain plant estrogen. It's not that same as the estrogen that we produce in our bodies, but it is highly beneficial for your hair. You can also eat other soy foods like tempeh or drink soymilk. Just make sure you buy "NON-GMO" soy foods. (GMO is genetically modified organisms.)

[LindaKeithAnderson]

I'm a big fan of "you are what you eat"...and so is your hair!!! Thanks for an excellent video. It's very easy to get caught up in the external application of product and neglect the importance of healthy hair from the inside out. Keep up the good work!

[NotSchitzo]

Shima this is a GREAT video, my father is getting to that age where his hair is starting to thin out so I decided to look up dietary changes to help promote good hair health! And I even am going to make some changes because I would like to have more springy fuller hair.

[princessmarthajandio]

Thank you for providing us with this information, Shima.

[KiaraRoxATT246]

OMG UR HAIR IS SO PRETTY!

[Danm2sq]

Thank you so much! Hair health starts from the inside out and I am happy you shared.

[101wolfspirit]

if i don't like fish can i take omega 3 (fish oil) lemon flavour

[fairiesnjesters]

great tips! :)

[Marianastar13]

ive herd if u smash the pills and put them in ur shampoo thats works..

do u know if thats true?

[ABCDEFG1232851]

i LOVE your kick ass voice.

[underbuksepsykologen]

I love her voice! :)

[rollinhard7]

Shima is Afro-Cuban...how do you all not know that?

[Imadva]

vitamin a makes ur hair fall out

[KatelynBieber13]

Ah , Ah , Ah , Come back in the house miss lady :P

[bofhd89o]

i love her accent so enjoyable

[prtyprincesst]

@homiesmasher you are a disgrace. You think white people never have issues growing hair? Why are there so many videos on here about them wanting to grow their hair. So many white girls have damaged hair from coloring etc. Your comment only shows how unaware you really are.

[shannonsurreal]

@montsyblackmadonna she is not american. she is spanish speaking island or somrthing

[lzetta1]

What is wrong with everyone who is posting??? Those of you who don't like the fact she doesn't sound like your "average" black woman need to sit with more black women from all over the world. OPEN your minds and your hearts. Think positive. This will help ur overall health. What's in the head is more important than what's on the head!

[ChilenoPiscean22]

Fish and sea food is also high in mercury, it only takes 1 can a tuna a week to increase your mercury levels to dangerous levels. Mercury posion has many side effects one is damaged hair... There are plenty of rich proteins foods that dont involve eating animals.

[Tippy2forU]

@ChilenoPiscean22: Not true. It is recommended that a person eat two servings of fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines and albacore tuna are high in omega-3 fatty acids. As long as you keep it to less than 7 ounces per week, you are okay. Don't push your vegan and vegatarian agenda on people.

[Letskeepit100]

@ purdypurdycamille- BLACK PPLE DONT JUST COME FROM AFRICA,JAMAICA,OR HAITI DUMBASS

[mainyari]

[Maureeniegarkie]

Shima I actually REALLY like your voice.. Don't know what, but it tickles my ears ;) And the advice is so good, thanks.

Greetings from Holland

[chchi34]

gurl forget the haters.keep doin your thing u have gud info.go gurl

[IBelaBe]

i really love your voice! dunno why those people dont. sounds really tropicle and i like it. but the lip smackings a little un nessacery... but dont worry about it xxx

[queridaxoxo]

LMAOO!

I love fish, by the way

[blondcuti277]

that was broccoli not colliflower or however you spell that.

[CheerUpEmoFluffy]

Are you cuban?

[cottoncandychic]

i eat hard boiled eggs like on 4:52 every morning just becaus i like them but my mom says to stop cause im gonna get a high cholesterol Buuut theyre SO good especially with salt lol

[ItsKayTime]

people have thier own voice damn like hello she is African Amercian or something she has an accent!!! F.Y.I if you dont like how she talks stop LISTENING. and like seriously have some humanity within you!

[msbloomable]

OMG right when she said nuts i smelt nuts WEIRD.....

[576sheba]

I hate yogurt! XP

[ThePrettyGirlNamedGr]

jesus people, at least she made a video to help... don't come and insult her or whatever...

if you don't like the way she talks, just scroll up and close the damn window, don't sit there and offend...

[purdypurdycamile]

I'm not sure BLACK girls have that accent... -.-"

[daya575]

@purdypurdycamile  She could be mixed -.-"

[custardT89]

@purdypurdycamile I think she is afro-Cuban. Why are people judging her by her voice. The point is she has gorgeous hair and is trying to help black women grow their hair but all they can do is hate on her voice!

[rachelsriver]

@purdypurdycamile BLACK girls have many different accents and speak many different languages, just like all other humans. I have never heard one group of people that sounded the same.

[Chocotheory]

@purdypurdycamile black girls can have accents ..just because someone is black doesnt mean they are american -.-

[goldennella]

@Chocotheory very true, Im balck and have a french accent because my mother language is french I live in Canada, lol,her accent is fine!!

[Letskeepit100]

@purdypurdycamile - BLACK PPLE DONT JUST COME FROM AFRICA, JAMAICA, OR HAITI DUMBASS! U SHOULDA LISTENED MORE IN HISTORY/GEOGRAPHY CLASS!

[Letskeepit100]

@purdypurdycamile - BLACK PPLE DONT JUST COME FROM AFRICA,JAMAICA,OR HAITI DUMBASS

[gypsygrl1]

@purdypurdycamile

depends on where they're from.

[xcal11able]

lol she sounds like my old nutrician professor, im starting to think it may be her haha

[RawrzSaMMiRawrz]

umm i take the pill for my period but i need to grow out my hair and i havent seen any hair loss happening but is there anything i can do to help it grow better while still on the pill i cant take hormones or get off the pill

[Missyplaymate3]

Thanks for the video and your tips

[hubbabubba33]

You guys are kinda rude. She's trying to help you out. If you don't like how she talks then don't watch. She's cuban and cuban people are expressive when they speak.

[TheCrystaljenn]

some of the foods are too high in ph, i like some of what you said and will use but not all. Thank you

[420idgaf]

umm shes black.. so consider the fact that..

it might be fake hair hahah! (:

but yeah you gots to eat good

[malikasinger]

@420idgaf thats so racist asnd all lack people dont wear fake hair they can have indian in thim plus white people also wear fake her dumby

[hubbabubba33]

@420idgaf You are soo ignorant. Seriously. She's actually cuban. As am I and I also have long hair.



[Nicolaa0x]

@dEaDonaSwInG

wtf, you make no SENSE

[ILYcoconutz]

K did anyone notice tha the date on the tofu says sell by 06 dec 2006

[blackswordbree]

Why are yall complaining about her "lip smackin" like click the "x" in the corner of your screen if you dont wanna here her!

[SpatialVortex]

yes, egg yolks made my eyelashes longer + take silica, you will see!!!

[ValleyGyrlTV]

Hair is mostly based on genetics. Sure, you can eat better and it's healther for your body and hair, but it's not going to make someones hair grow down their back. However, thanks for suggesting healthy foods. :)

[rachelsriver]

@ValleyGyrlTV - that is why she has many other videos on the many other factors that contribute to longer healthier hair:)

[noiretbeau]

@snaeroketahi what does niggy mean?  Because I hope you are not trying to insult black people by saying that.

[REGFFEE5]

Shima you are the bomb very smart and informative keep it up!

[supervirtuouswoman]

First of all, eggs is not one of them. Nobody should depend on a dead animals fetus for protein. You should get your proteins from green vegetables such as asparagus, kale, collard, mustard, or turnip greens, green beans, okra etc...

[HomieSmasher]

Quit SMACKING ur lips like a dirty nigger with huge lips. Unfortunately for u black girls u HAVE to worry about hair growth, us white girls don't have to worry about FOOD that makes our hair grow faster, we can go on a diet of double cheeseburgers and stay thin and have our hair grow until the ends of a rainbow.

[Kamiasachan]

@HomieSmasher Not if your hair is naturally short, and all the fat white ppl are hanging at mcdonalds...>.>

[caaarolee]

Does tuna promote also hair growth?

[cookiemaniac14]

i used to have 2 feet of hair. then i donated it and cut it really SUPER short. now i kinda miss it. :(

[AJOxYuichiro]

@cookiemaniac14 u did a great thing though L)

[cookiemaniac14]

@AJOxYuichiro well, i guess whenever i miss mah hair, i'll think of another kid wearing it. :D

[waj437wa]

I can say, that when I was eating a lot of veggies about 3 years ago, my hair really start growing fast. So thumbs up!

[TyeParty09]

is that ur real hair or does it have weave or exstetions ..?

[SuperBirdA]

I ate fish,spinach, and potato salad for dinner! Great for my hair!

[soleilangela]

This is pretty much normal grocery shopping for me :(

[Skynaturally]

Wow pretty hair

[thriller38]

omg i was supposed to eat it!!! i put it in my hair!!!! omfg!!! now my hair smells like eggs!

[lilbear271]

what was the result? lol

[sum1pnay]

@thriller38 hahaha this litterally made me lol! U made my day :D

[ipodchik]

@thriller38: LOL

[juliaisthebomb1]

Nevermind. lol

[juliaisthebomb1]

do you eat it or put it in your hair? I know it sounds like a stupid question, but, do you?!

[amberrose1st]

you eat it.

[MizzBelieber]

Your funny shima love the name! My hair is so short well kinda it's shoulder length I hate it

So I've been trying to grow my hair faster so thanks I can do it! Love your videos u are so gorgeous

Wow really pretty love the accent to!

[MarquitaD111]

I like all your videos Shima,and your right about the foods you have stated. The foods help with the skin & the hair.

[Ebony2z2]

[bangalibarbie]

[awsometammy]

[garlictoast23]

12 pack of eggs is like 39 where i live

[garlictoast23]

[ShyBlue27]

You have beautiful hair! Im going to start listening to you! :)

[MoonLynxWaterPower]

thxk for the tips

[mitalibehera1989]

bad idea

[brandys20]

do you know of any foods you can mix to put in your hair? as a remedie or something?

[baby287girl]

honey, olive oil, avocado, egg, coconut oil

[jigokunekko]

what kind of milk exactly for dairy? Is soy milk okay? and is low fat ookay too?

[adoreyou4eva]

shima, you are too funny.

[IWannaBe120]

I think its great she made this video, because you'd be surprised at how unhealthy people are eating. That's why this country is walking around with so many obese people b/c they don't eat the kind of foods she talks about in this video, so all you people leaving negative comments on her video need to shut up, besides I've never heard of people getting fat over eating broccoli!!!

[vivagoddess]

HA, ha i happen 2 be eatin almondz right now!(but they were covered in chocolate)! AND b4 that I just had A KIWI!!:))

[FreestyleBoy2010]

DNC Spectural is working for my hair they say your hair grows in 6 to 12 months mine grew in 2 months.. being that it has emu oil but minoxidil and 7 other ingredients. i do believe diet is good and important for hair growth.. but its DHT Blocker because testosterone makes your hair go bye bye and thins it out. so you need that and a lot of biotin with msm. and of course vitamines. and shampoo dnc that has everything in it.. i tell you its awesome and it works. and its the new breakthrough

[FreestyleBoy2010]

Thank u baby your sexy voice :)

[Songbyrd23]

This is almost everything that people eat on a daily basis.....what don't you eat? Anyone could have said this. I should have got on here and said your hair will grow as long as you just eat!

[abunnieslife]

But you didn't

[Songbyrd23]

Exactly b/c I didn't want to make a fool of myself. This sounds like one of the lame educational videos we all watched in kindergarten with the dancing vegetables. lol

[rettrois]

Shima girl, you need to get a new hobby cause this is really senseless.

[TheYouSubscriber]

WTF. U said: So if you wanna grow your hair and your not on the pill, theen dont??

Wtf do u mean by that!!

[purespirit9]

You have beautiful hair! Thx for your info. :)

[coaluck]

never been on birth control but i knew a girl who's hair DID fall out behind her birht control pills. those foods r good for hair and keeping fit. dont forget 2 work out. dairy is bad for u tho. research it!

[Witchy1976]

Yeah, I've heard that too. Actually, my mother told me that dairy isn't good for us.

[ProfessionalMac]

collard greens and biotin. i swear...

[priscillajames]

u hav very lovely hair

[teeizhot]

Informative and funny...thanks for posting.

[TruthFan]

Remember if you are going to eat a lot of protein you MUST do at least 3 days of cardio exercise so that you won't gain too much weight.

[mrssmithjr]

I never experienced hair loss while on the pill,but I did have  hair loss while on the Depo Shot.

[blackPowerStick]

all the pills and injections that women take like coil etc

women its male Hormones inside of them and it DE-tracts your natural female Productive function -so ladies be careful-

[sunnyGsss]

....u sound wierd,sounds like u got a problem talkking to urself...lol jk i understand wat u doing(like sorta a play thing with 1 person saying it)

[meefgal]

huh???

[hppyp72]

mY NEW BEST FRIEND!

[Sahanai]

You are a very warm and giving person!!! I can just listen to you and learn as I work around the house. I will be purchasing your oil soon.

[alyssamarisa45]

I love ur accent and voice! Nice video!

[up4itgal]

In your country Shima, what do women do when they have thinning hair?

[DarkRachelynn]

thanks I eat alot of this stuff I am a vegiterian =)

[redtea53]

what about drinking lots of water

[xxxxSomeBlondexxxx]

the hair is made of water and protein so I think that it could work!

[Jade301]

Thanks Shima 4 the food tips. I was snacking on grapes and strawberries while watching lol. I eat salmon like twice a week, take Biotin, and give myself a scalp massage like twice a day with olive oil, and although my hair is a little past bra strap length..its growing even longer. Im going 2 be ordering ur products next month to achieve even more length. I absolutely LOVE ur personality and funny remarks that u make lol...xoxoxoxo

[denisprowl]

She's right about the food eating healthy is the key!! check out my channel:

-have a healthy day!!

[lusciousnezz]

i've totally subscribed, ur gooooood!

[kali4good]

i love your little role play and interaction like telling the 'lady' to come back in and add foods to the grocery list!it was creative!!

[mandyx4z]

Thanks for this video, Shima! I love that you included seaweed in your list. I'm a vegetarian and I have found that adding chlorella, spirulina or kelp to my diet has done wonders for my hair! Keep up the great work!!! :-)

[cecillbill]

Luvs seaweed too. My kids have wheat & gluten intolerance, so we use Nori sheets to make sandwiches or 'fake sushi' rolls.

[xMirax]

why must we work so hard to gain something so little??

I wonder if god actually gave thoughts to everyone. lol

heh, no i'm not blaming god or anything, i'm just simply stating a fact. because we must be the only race that actually has to work to gain long healthy hair. :P

[beccaRed11]

i kno man, it pisses me off sometimes, but then if u think of what our hair was designed to do, then you can understand tht growing it long is against our survival adaptation.

[drroberson4]

If we did not cause it so much damage.... heat appliances, relaxers, texturizers, a lot of manipulation, tight hair styles, bad products...etc our hair would be just as long or longer as any other woman. Our hair is quite fragile because some people alter the texture (i.e. relaxers) and that causes our hair to weaken..... Check out ladies like Rustic Beauty.... her hair is natural and it is LONG. Hope this helps :)

[charonaustin]

She states in her video that she has a relaxer. . .

[queenofspades84]

yea that's why we must be cautious w the heat...skip the flat iron and blow dryer if possible....relax maybe every 6- 8 weeks. I've given the relaxer a break, no blow dryer, no flat iron and i've seen a lot of good results. i'm happy i'm getting growth.

[naturally4us]

Your hair is so beautiful. May God bless you and keep you and give you peace.

[Weewinkle7]

Also, I think a lot of water is great for hair g

[Weewinkle7]

That's awesome, I love and eat most of these foods anyway! Good vid!

[terracegirl]

Do you advise to take vitamins and also do you advise to massage the scalp daily?

[missjones3077]

I have a friend that has super long hair and she never wears it in a protective style. It's always down so how do you explain that?

[majoshlin]

It is really nice to know that you toned down the cursing. I think that you are extremely beautiful and I know that your products with sell more especially with less profanity. I pray the GOD prospers the work of your hands. Be blessed!

[drroberson4]

Genetics maybe.....she may not bother with it a lot (i.e. combing).

[rizeuse]

Don't forget to drinks lots of water !! Not sodas, coffee or juice high in sugar. Water !!!!

[rizeuse]

Thanks Shima for posting this video. Healthy eating habits and keeping hair/ends moisturized helps alot. Ladies should deep conditioned their hair weekly and preshampooing helps alot

[DANEZE1985]

great video 5 stars.

[jarico05]

Thank you so much I am happy that you sre on youtube showing us how to care for our hair in the right way and the passion that you have when you speak really shows me that you care alot. I am also tired of the hair industry making money off us when it could be going to better causes or toward educating ourselves. I was so upset at growing up as an African American women and not having a clue on how to do my hair. Gracia por la todo

[jarico05]

I thought that you said synthetic hair was a bad thing to have. Would it be better to get small twist then use the fake hair? I have enough hair for that I just can't get it into a ponytail just yet. I had to come to my senses about my hair and say that I am proud of who I am and the only way of showing that is by being natural at all times.

[Shimahair21]

I never said synthetic hair was "bad" what I said was getting ADDICTED to fake hair is bad. I used synthetic hair to braid into my French braids and even wore it as individual braids. Yes, Twist outs and bantu knots, are GREAT for natural hair.

[jarico05]

If you can't put your hair into the protective style because it is to short what can be done to protect it throughout the day?

[Shimahair21]

The MAIN goal is to keep it Moisturized jarico05. Wrapit up really well at night with a silky scarf & if possible utilize synthetic hair to create long, lovely braids.

[ladylishus]

so if i eat all those foods everyday for about a month will my hair grow more than half an inch

[letinian]

excellent...i love every food mentioned...although i leave tofu/soy alone because it reacts badly with my body....

[kinoni86]

Thank u Shima!! I love ur videos..!

[VintageVideoWatcher]

You read my mind Shima! I was just making my list last night and I was just headed off to the grocery store right now! And I was writing down foods that promote hair growth.

[Shimahair21]

Happy to be of help, VintageVideoWatcher!!
