Does protein stimulate hair growth?

I've been to the doctors as I used to have a condition called Trichotillomania which I have now stopped doing. It resulted in slight hair loss and my doctor said eat and drink high protein sources. Is that going to make hair grow faster?Does protein stimulate hair growth?
Hair typically grows 1/3 of an inch every month no matter what but if you take good care of your hair you can grow up to an inch a month.





I suggest taking hair, skin, and nail vitamins, available at any drug store or wal-mart. Things to look for are vitamin B complex, vitamin E, and biotin. Eat healthy and get plenty of protein and dark green vegetables. Hair is mainly composed of protein. Eggs contain a ton of protein. Google ';hair growth foods'; for ideas. Also try daily scalp massages using your fingertips to stimulate hair growth, it gets blood flowing in your scalp and feels great. Avoid frying your hair at all costs. Get plenty of sleep and excercise, especially cardiovascular excercises like running. Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and stress.





A good conditioner is also important. Sunsilk is amazing and cheap, the kind I am currently using contains jojoba oil wich is AMAZING. Any sunsilk product is amazing and cheap.





If you have fried hair, do not dye it anymore and try hot oil treatments, and do not use shampoo every day. I leave contitioner in for about 5 minutes before washing it out to keep mine looking healthy. If you have split ends get them trimmed to avoid it getting worse.Does protein stimulate hair growth?

No it does not but some studies suggest that a high protein diet can reduce the urge to pull.
