What vitamins can one take to make their hair stronger?

Question

I don't know if its stress from my classes or my medicine Wellbutrin that I've been taking for 6 months but it seems like my hair is thinning at the scalp and there is more hair in the drain everytime I shower. Maybe I have been noticing becasue I'mm looking for it, but it just seems like my hair is falling out or ia thinning at the scalp. The rest of my hair is stll thick so I don't know why the rest of my hair would be think but the scalp seems thinner.

Besides seeing the doctor (which I have an appointment for already next month), what can I do in the meantime to help my hair? Are there any vitamins or nutrients that I can take to make my hair stronger??

If you can help me, Thank you very much.

BTW: I'm a 24 year old female.

Answer 2

GNC has a supplement called "Nourishair" that makes the hair grow faster, you can read what's in it by googling it. Be warned these pills are HUGE and you have to take 2 a day.
Also ProCaps labs sells a "hair skin and nails" formula that does the same thing, supports hair growth and health, and is smaller and easier to swallow.
If you take only Biotin[sometimes known as Vitamin H] alone, make sure you take at least 2.5 milligrams or 2500 micrograms [the same thing] a day because thats' a good amount to take. I use the Nourishair supplement from GNC now and my hair is growing faster than it did, but it took about 6 to 8 weeks of daily use to see results

To boost volume to Thin Hair follow these steps

1.) Remove styling product residue which can weigh down hair and make it flat,you can use a clarifying shampoo or apple cider vinegar as a rinse followed by shampoo.

2.) once you have removed product build up,find a voluming shampoo that does not contain Sodium laurel sulfate such as J/A/S/O/N THINK TO THICK or LAMAS rice protein voluming shampoo and conditioner.only use products that do not contain synthetic ingredients because these will build up on your hair leading to limpness,and even loss of hair.

3.)whenever you blow dry your hair be sure to use a diffuser and flip your hair foreword to dry,you can also increase volume by using large rollers or steam based rollers which will add body and wave.

4.) Be sure you are getting enough protein in your diet,and minerals through things like meat,nuts,and beans,essential fats like flax,fish and olive oil,minerals from green vegetables,spinach and seaweeds.take a balanced multi-vitamin and extra biotin,zinc and silica this will help stimulate hair growth from the inside out.


5.)get regular trims,thin hair can become damaged at the ends very easily keep your hair trimmed regularly so your ends stay protected,do not brush thin hair,especially when wet,use a wide toothed comb instead and be careful thin hair is fragile and will snap easily,don't use elastics or harsh ponytails loose hairstyles or up in a bun are best.
