Modern science is extremely useful and helpful to us, giving us healthy options in taking care of our hair thus providing hair care treatments and vitamins and minerals taken in a daily basis orally.

Vitamin A: Our body needs this vitamin. Vitamin A is an antioxidant which helps maintains normal growth and bone development, protects our nerve fibers, as well as promoting nourished and healthy skin, nails and hair. Foods that are rich in vitamin A are eggs, fish liver oil, milk, lean meat, cheese, broccoli, spinach, carrots, cabbage, peaches and apricots.

Vitamin E: is very beneficial to the scalp. This vitamin improves the blood circulation which penetrates and stimulates and provides more essential nutrients to the hair follicles. This vitamin can be consumed from almond nuts and other nuts, wheat germ oil, soy beans, raw seeds, dried beans, green leafy vegetables and whole grains.

Vitamin C: is prominently known for preventing colds only, but little did you know that vitamin C is also recommendable in retaining and maintaining healthy hair growth. Vitamin C is a 100% immunity booster, this helps in preventing diseases such as lupos, diabetes and many more that can alter the hair growth. Oranges, strawberries, kiwis, pineapples and tomatoes are rich in vitamin C.

The “B vitamins” are necessary for hair growth. This type of healthy vitamin is commonly found in fishes, lean meats, whole grains, eggs, fresh fruits, and dairy products such as milk. All B vitamins don’t build up inside the human’s body for they are water-soluble. Vitamin A is considered not water soluble and is capable of building up inside the human’s body.
