4. Vitamin A
The body uses Vitamin A to produce natural scalp oils that condition both the scalp and the hair. Low levels of Vitamin A result in a dry, flaky itchy scalp. Since the amount of scalp oils is less the hair is brittle and breaks easily. Fruits and vegetables are the richest sources of Vitamin A. Increase the reserves of Vitamin A in the body by eating carrots, meat and dairy products.
