5 Best Vitamins For Longer Hair That Will Make Your Life Easier

6 Min Read

Are you tired of not knowing which the best vitamins are for growing long hair? Do you dream of having luscious locks but struggle every time you try to grow even an inch? Does the frustration of split ends and breakage make you want to shave it all off? Hold your horses, there’s no need to be dramatic. Read our list, and then make the decision if you want to shave it off – or give it another chance.

Vitamin A: one of the best vitamins?

Vitamin A is a vitamin that falls into the category of best vitamins for healthy hair, and it is necessary for proper cell growth. It is also a vitamin that helps produce sebum in the scalp, which helps prevent hair from drying out and breaking. Good foods sources of vitamin A are carrots, melons, and dark leafy greens. Symptoms of vitamin A deficiency include vision and skin problems. But make sure to not take too much vitamin A supplements, as it can be counterproductive to your hair growth.

B Vitamins

These are often referred to as the vitamin B complex, which includes all eight B vitamins: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12. This complex plays a huge role in keeping us healthy. B vitamins affect our energy, metabolism, nerves, muscles, skin, nails and hair. The vitamin B complex promotes cell growth and cell division, which are important for healthy hair growth. If you have a B vitamin deficiency, you will feel tired, bruise easily and your hair will not grow as fast as usual. The best way to get all the B vitamins your system needs is through the foods you eat, such as meats, eggs, nuts, grains and vegetables.

Vitamin C

We know that vitamin C can help us boost our immunity, but what many people do not know is that vitamin C also help strengthen our hair. That is because vitamin C helps the body produce collagen, a vital protein for healthy hair, skin, and nails. Vitamin C is considered being an antioxidant that fights free radicals, which damage body tissue. These free radicals have been known to damage hair and make it weak and brittle. So if you experience your hair breaking a lot or shedding, it may be due to vitamin C deficiency.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin. One way to boost your vitamin D levels is to spend some time outside in the sun. And you do not need crazy amounts of it either – 15 to 20 minutes per day is enough. This is not difficult during the warm summer days, but may become slightly more difficult during the winter. That is where supplements and food comes into the picture. Some vitamin D rich foods include fatty fish like salmon and tuna, eggs, mushrooms and milk.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E may be the most overlooked vitamin, but it is in fact a very important one. It is an antioxidant that repairs and builds tissue, which is essential for healthy hair growth. Eat vitamin E rich foods such as almonds, seeds, avocado, and broccoli. Applying it to your scalp increases blood circulation, boosts oxygen supply and repairs damaged hair follicles. So you may want to start massaging your scalp at least twice a week with vitamin E oil to support hair growth.
