How To Make Your Hair Grow Long And Strong With Vitamins And Minerals

Beauty . Makeup & Hair

If your body is deficient in certain vitamins and minerals, you will definitely see and feel the difference. That is why eating a well-balanced diet that is loaded with healthy whole foods and contains a minimal amount of processed foods is really important. Whole foods come with whole nutrition, including vitamins and minerals that are more easily and readily absorbed by the digestive tract for use throughout the body. But if you cannot manage to eat the right way, there are supplements available that can fill in all of your nutritional gaps and keep you looking and feeling great.

 

If you notice that your hair is dry, brittle, or falling out, you may be deficient in certain vitamins and minerals. Continue reading to learn what you should be supplementing with in order to get a full head of hair again.

 

Biotin

One of the most popular remedies for hair issues is biotin, which is a powerful B-vitamin that is necessary for strong, healthy hair and nails. This vitamin can be purchased as part of a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement, or you can instead opt for much higher doses on its own. If you take it for a few weeks, you should begin to see that your hair is stronger, your strands are thicker, and a lot less hair falls out when you comb or brush your hair and when you wash it in the shower. If you catch hair loss problems in time, this vitamin may even help you regrow hair that has been lost.

 

Zinc

Zinc is a very popular mineral that is associated with a healthy scalp and strong hair. If you are not getting enough of this nutrient in your diet, and if you tend to work out a lot and sweat a lot, you are probably deficient in it, especially if you notice that your hair is not as healthy as it used to be. While you can certainly get this mineral through your food, if you do feel that you are deficient in it, you should take an extra supplement to be sure that you are getting enough.

 

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is associated with healthy hair and nails as well. Antioxidants that are derived from this nutrient work at keeping your scalp healthy by stimulating the production of sebum that will keep your strands soft. These same antioxidants will also fight off damaging free radicals to keep your hair strong and light rather than weighed down.

 

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is known for healthy skin, hair, and nails. Get enough of it to promote soft hair with reduced amounts of frizz. This vitamin can even prevent embarrassing split ends from forming so that your hair will be soft and strong.

 

Making sure you get the right amount of vitamins and minerals into your diet can do wonders for the health of your hair. If you find that the texture of your hair is changing, talk to your doctor about the potential for deficiencies that are causing these new problems.
