Multivitamins for Shiny Hair

When you have the option, look for vitamins easier to swallow.

Having shiny hair is not only attractive, it also makes you look healthier. This is because the vitamins and minerals important to hair health and shine are also important to your health in other ways. Many multivitamins are excellent for hair growth, and you don't necessarily need one that is designed specifically for hair, which can be more expensive. Multivitamins can be found in pharmacies, health food stores and online.

Things You'll Need

• Multivitamins

Instructions

1. Go to your nearest retail location with a selection of vitamins.

2. Choose a multivitamin and examine the label. You want to make sure that it provides all of the following: vitamins A, B6, B12, C and E.

3. Look for a multivitamin, among those that contain those basic vitamins, that has silica in it. Silica is an important mineral for hair, but it's not always available in multivitamins. If you cannot find a multivitamin with the basics and silica, purchase a second vitamin containing silica.

Tips & Warnings

• Look for multivitamins intended to aid nail growth, because healthy hair growth requires many of the same vitamins and minerals.

• Never start taking a new supplement without consulting your doctor — certain vitamins and minerals can interfere with health and medications.

• Always take vitamins according to dosage instructions — some minerals should have a limited intake.
