Vitamins For Healthy Hair

December 25, 2008

You must have heard of numerous benefits of vitamins for overall health. Vitamins are not only good for your body and skin but also for your hair. Lack luster, dull and weak hair are a sign of unhealthy diet and lack of essential nutrients. Given below are some vitamins which play an important role in the health of your hair.

Vitamin A is essential for healthy hair as it helps in the production of healthy sebum in the scalp. Thus, you can naturally provide your body with this important antioxidant through intake of food items like fish liver oil, meat, cheese, eggs, broccoli, and carrots amongst others. Similarly, vitamin C too plays an important role in the production of healthy, long and shiny hair.

Natural sources of vitamin C include kiwi, pineapple, tomatoes and other citrus fruits and fresh green vegetables. To enhance scalp circulation for healthy and strong hair, you need Vitamin E which can be provided by vegetable oils, dried beans, nuts and others. If you are suffering from the problem of premature graying of hair or excessive hair loss, then biotin is the thing for you.

It can be found in whole, grains, rice and milk. Similarly, vitamin B5 found in brewer’s yeast, egg yolks and organ meats helps in the prevention of hair graying thereby keeping your hair black and shiny. Vitamin B6 helps in the prevention of hair loss and also creates melanin which provides hair its color.

Thus, multivitamins are essential for healthy body, skin and hair. The best way to provide your body with these essential nutrients is through diet. However, there are also multivitamins available which can prove handy. Thus, the next time you think about your weak and fragile hair, think about vitamins and the way they can help you fulfill your dream of attaining long, lustrous and healthy flowing hair.
