Many people wish they could have thicker hair, but there are many factors that can prevent it, including stress, health of the hair and environmental exposure. Hair can be be subjected to split ends, brittleness and hair loss that reduce the appearance of thick, beautiful hair. Aside from the hundreds of products that promise thick, manageable hair, incorporating vitamins into the diet can help restore damaged hair and make it thicker.

    Vitamins for Hair Growth

  1. There are many vitamins that work to promote healthy, thick hair. Vitamin C is important to counter-act free radicals from the environment, protecting the hair from damage. Vitamin A nourishes the scalp, creating a better environment for hair to grow. Vitamin E and niacin improve circulation in the scalp, stimulating hair growth, and vitamins B6 and B12 prevent hair loss. The recommend daily amount for these vitamins is found in any multi-vitamin, so taking one each day can help with hair growth while adding nutrients to the rest of the body. In health-food and retail stores, vitamins, minerals and protein supplements are available to enhance hair growth.
  2. Vitamins in Food

  3. Consume a diet filled with vitamins to help make hair grow thicker. Proteins, whole grains, citrus fruits, green vegetables and vegetable oils are all good sources of the necessary vitamins.
  4. Vitamins in Hair Products

  5. Shampoos and conditioners, hair oils and sprays containing vitamins are all available to help with breakage and promote thick hair. Look for labels that have ginseng, green tea or jojoba, which are all beneficial for promoting hair growth.
