Healthy hair on both women and men is considered a sign of beauty, health, and even wealth. Women, did you get that ombre blend lately and want to show it off to everyone? Men, did you go from spikey, Brad-Pitt-in-Fight-Club to the side part 50s do? Lucky you! You’ve got a full head of hair… and people notice. Unfortunately, there’s a huge population men and women who don’t have that luxury due to thinning, receding, or disappearing hair. So what can you do to help your situation? Let’s look at some vitamins and over-the-counter options to help your hair become that healthy, thick mane that you’ve missed out on since your early 20s.
Vitamins play a significant role in your body’s health. That doesn’t just mean your skin, weight, or internal functionality. It also means vitamins are important for your hair. Hair needs nutrients to remain healthy, and multiple types of vitamins can offer those nutrients. Of course, age, genetics and hormones can affect hair loss and growth, but with an intake of the right nutrients, you can slow or even stop hair loss.
B-vitamin, or biotin, can be significantly helpful in restoring, regrowing, and thickening your hair. Conversely, a deficiency in biotin can sometimes cause hair loss. It’s linked to keratin production, and you lack keratin, you could lose hair. Biotin can make your hair grow stronger and thicker, and you can get it over the counter!
Vitamin A is crucial for all cells, not excluding hair. It help grow cells, but too much can be hazardous to your hair and other cells. Consult a doctor or do some research on this topic, but you definitely need vitamin A in your diet.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant. Our bodies naturally produce free radicals, causing damage to hair follicles. This is a huge factor in hair loss in millions of people. Vitamin C counters those free radicals and prevents them from forming at all. This helps reduce hair loss and improves the health and thickness of hair.
Vitamins D has been researched a ton, and experts say it could actually create new hair follicles on your scalp. Research also shows that most people don’t get enough vitamin D, so whether it be getting outside more or taking over-the-counter pills, make sure you get your Vitamin D, and maybe your hair will reap the benefits.
These are just some of the vitamins you can take to increase hair growth or, at least, help stop it from leaving your head. Another good idea is to monitor your zinc, iron, and protein levels… all of which you can buy supplements for!
