Feeding your hair with the right Ingredients & Vitamins
Proteins and vitamins are essential to maintain lustre and faster hair growth. The natural health of your hair will largely depend on your genetic make-up. Weaker hair can be treated with proper hair vitamins and Proteins. The following vitamins will help you to keep your healthy.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A carries the antioxidants that assist the production of healthy sebum in the scalp. Fish liver oil, orange fruits, vegetables/fruits like carrots, peaches and apricots contain liberal doses of vitamin A. Green vegetables like cabbage, spinach, diary products like milk and cheese, are all capable of supplying the much needed Vitamin A to your system. Eggs too are a good source of Vitamin A.
Vitamin C
Strawberries, kiwi, pineapples, oranges, lemons and other citrus fruits are rich in Vitamin C and form an excellent source of nutrition to your hair. Vitamin C is not only an antioxidant, but can also help maintain hair health as well as the health of your skin.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E enhances the scalp circulation and improves the condition of your hair. It also acts as an anti oxidant. To have a healthy natural hair condition, Vitamin E is essential.
Vitamin B3
Also known as, Biotin and Niacin is essential for the health of your hair and to keep it strong, particularly if you are looking to donate or sell your hair for human hair wigs. Biotin helps produce Keratin which prevents graying and potential hair loss. Biotin is derived from foods like whole grains, egg yolk, milk and rice. Niacin will enhance the circulation in the scalp and improve the condition of the hair working as an antioxidant just as in the case of Vitamin E.
Vitamins B12, B6 and B5
These vitamins too contribute in a large measure to the health of your hair. Intake of these Vitamins as a food supplement or directly through your diet will not only help maintain healthy hair but also regulate your general health.
Once you are on this Vitamin regimen, usually it takes about two to three months for the results to show up. You could consult a nutritionist to decide the specific does of these Vitamins that you need. Shorter hair has a tendency to maintain its nutrients that are secreted by an oily build-up naturally emitted by the scalp. During brushing this oily secretion gets distributed into the rest of your hair. Longer hair on the other hand receives less of this nutrition particularly at the ends of the hair and therefore seeks to obtain it from some other source. |
