Top 10 Vitamins for Hair Growth

Nutrition. Healthy Lifestyle. Woman Holding Pill With Fish Oil Omega-3. Supplements, Vitamins.

Here is a list of my top 10 hair growth vitamins and minerals. There are many other vitamins and minerals that are great for hair growth, but this is my top 10 list.  

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is a powerful antioxidant.  Antioxidants help you get toxins that are in your body, out.  Antioxidants are needed for your bodies overall health and like I noted above, when your body is healthy your hair will be healthy also.

B Vitamins

There are many different types of B Vitamins.  For a healthy overall body and hair growth focus on B12.   B12 provides nourishment to all the cells of the body including our hair follicles, so it is essential for hair growth.  It supports a healthy nervous system and the formation of new red blood cells. This is very important because the red blood cells carry oxygen all over your body, including the scalp. This helps nourish and aid in the development of healthy new hair strands from healthy hair follicles.  Since the hair follicles are now receiving the proper nutrients, your body is now able to repopulate and regrow hair.  This is especially the case for hair that has been previously lost, due to alopecia or other hair loss related conditions.

 Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a great immune booster and a powerful antioxidant. When your immune system is healthy, your overall body will be healthy and your hair will be healthy and grow. Also, when you rid your body of toxins (which is what antioxidants do), you give your body an extra boost in health. Vitamin C is so important because it encompasses both the immune system booster and the antioxidant booster.  Vitamin C is crucial in your hair growth journey.  Fortunately, Vitamin C is found in a wide array of fruits, vegetables and can be easily purchased from most food stores.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D promotes healthy hair follicle growth.  The best thing about vitamin D is that you can get this vitamin right from the sun.  Go outside for a brisk walk or sit under the sun for a little while. Allow your body and scalp to absorb the wonderful benefits of vitamin D.  Since your body cannot produce vitamin D on it’s own, taking a supplement is also a great idea on days when you cannot go out in the sun.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E  is essential in keep your hair growing healthy.  When you mix Vitamin E and some of the other vitamins I have listed, you are making your scalp healthy and when your scalp is healthy it promotes amazing hair growth.  Vitamin E is one of the ingredients in my All Natural Shea Butter Mix because I know of the importance of Vitamin E, a healthy scalp and amazing hair growth.

Biotin

My doctor recommend Biotin for longer, healthier hair.  Biotin is a B Vitamin and it is water soluble, meaning it dissolves very well in water, which also means your body can’t retain it.  Since your body cannot retain biotin you need to make sure you replenish your body with it daily.  So if you feel like you are not getting enough from your daily diet, there are plenty of supplements available.

 Iron

Iron is very important for your body to function overall and also for healthy hair growth.  As I listed in my Top 11 Reasons For Hair Loss, iron deficiencies was one of them.  So if you are deficient in Iron, your have a very high risk of hair loss or developing other very serious medical conditions.

Magnesium

Magnesium can detoxify and cleanse the skin, including your scalp.  Since magnesium has the capability to do this it helps with strong and healthy hair growth.

Niacin

Niacin is in the B Vitamin which helps to nourish the scalp, promoting healthy hair growth. If you do not have enough niacin in your hair strands your hair may become brittle, lifeless, and may even fall out.

Zinc

Zinc has a critical part to play in ensuring that our immune system is strong and healthy.  Zinc helps in promoting new and healthy skin cells, which aids in a healthy scalp which is responsible for hair lustre and growth.  For those with skin and scalp conditions, zinc is used as an anti-inflammatory, which helps to sooth the skin tissue, especially those suffering from psoriasis or eczema on the scalp.  Zinc can be taken orally or applied topically.  It is the main ingredient is some diaper rash formulas for this very reason.

    Hey Jass, I wanted to know if you took the 10 vitamins all at once or just selected vitamins, if so; which one.btw I am proud of your progress, and believe I will see results as well. I had alopecia universal since I was 20 and I am now 23 not giving up on this miracle I’ve been waiting on.

    • Hello Again!
      I tried all of them except 2 (Niacin & Vit. A). I tried them individually for about 1 month each and I didn’t notice a huge difference in my hair, but my body/skin and nails did great. Many others have experienced hair growth, so I wanted to keep this information up for people who may want to try some vitamins and these would be the Top 10 to try. I hope this helps you.

    also I want to start detoxing and eating healthy, but I honestly don’t know how to start or what to eat on a daily to be nourished and to aid in taking care of myself

    • I have more information coming in the upcoming weeks about detoxing and what I ate and the dietary changes that I made. Please check back in, in the next few weeks and there will be more detailed information for you. Until then, Have a blessed day! xo

    I appreciate your help, I never knew black/African females went through this I thought I was alone since I was 13 up until now I’ve decided to do more research again and I came across ur page. I simply typed “can God cure total alopecia’ in Google, and your page came up after a few clicks and scrolling . So I look forward to seeing my google search turning into a miraclois answer through your products

    • Hello Hun! God can heal anything! Please keep in mind that we don’t know His plans for us or why we may be “suffering” now, but His ways are good and He does have a plan. Keep praying and asking for answers and healing. Do not give up!

      If I did not get Alopecia, I would not able to share how God lead me to make these products, He healed me and now many others are being healed and encouraged!

      I was scared and alone when I lost my hair, but years later, I understand that Gods plan was bigger than mine and not only was I healed but now many others.

      Keep your faith in Him, no matter what happens and He will bless you in more ways than you can imagine. Stay positive and stay connected, Have a great day! Jass xo

    The amazon ad’s that are above the Name of the vitamin is what you recommend to purchase?

  5. Roxanne Martinez says:

    Do you recommend to take all these vitamins in a day? or choose a certain about that you choose. I see that are very healthy for you, but i just want to make sure before i start taking any vitamins, what is your point of view.

    • Hello Roxanne!
      No, you do not have to take all of the vitamins in a day. In a matter of fact, depending on your diet, you may not have to take most of them.

      My diet was not very “good” at the time and I found that when I added vitamins and minerals into my daily diet plan, my hair flourished.

      However, the best way to know what pills you need to take would be to get a blood test or speak it over with your Dr. I wanted to list some of the best pills for hair growth, to give you a starting point on what you can look into for taking, but only you will know which ones are best for you.

      I hope this helps you.
      Have a great day!
      Jass xo
