Blueberries are classified as a super food. Each little berry is packed full of vitamins and antioxidants to help keep the body healthy. They nourish the body from within and reach out to help a person’s crowning glory grow.

The hair benefits from proper eating. Nutritionist Lisa Drayer in Fitness Magazine promoted a half a cup of blueberries to a person’s daily diet for the hair to reap advantages.

Blueberries stimulate hair growth with proanthocyanidins, a plant chemical. This chemical interacts with hair follicles to accelerate growth.

Externally, a shampoo enhanced with blueberries can also assist hair growth. There are a number of products on the market which contain blueberry extracts and other vitamins such as B5. Juice Organics, Framesi and L’Oreal manufacture blueberry hair care products.

Blueberries are also endorsed by Nurse Practitioner and Certified Menopausal Clinician Marcy Holmes. She credited her own grandmother’s healthy and thick locks at age 95 to them.

Mike Adams, Editor of NaturalNews.com, approves of blueberries as a food which slows down the aging process. Anti-aging foods in turn retard hair graying and loss.

Dr. William Rassman of the New Hair Institute is skeptical of the power of blueberries to slow hair loss. Rassman acknowledges their antioxidant strength but does not attribute it to influencing hair growth internally or topically.
