Brief Answer:
Proteinacious foods

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

You are correct that hair growth needs proteins. Any protein rich food would be good like tofu/soy, beans, chana, eggs, meat are all good sources. Iron rich foods like spinach and other dark green leafy vegetables, beans, lentils. Foods that are good source of biotin are also helpful like eggs, peanuts/peanut butter, almonds, whole wheat, cauliflower. Amla are overall good for hair.

Hope it helps.
