Hair vitamins?

Question

Are there any vitamins especially formulated to make your hair grow?

I am black, my hair is natural no chemicals or weaves.

I am getting married in 9 months and would love this sort of hairstyle on my big day:

I keep my hair in braids to help it grow

Any tips?

I am from the UK

When my hair is out, it is 10inches long

Answer 1

Hair is primarily protein. So make sure you are getting, at least, 4 small servings of protein rich foods a day. Fish, poultry, meat, eggs, nuts, seeds, or beans.

Dairy products are also rich in protein. Milk, cheese and yogurt.

Make sure your braids are not too tight. That can cause breakage.

Answer 2

I use 1/2 an avacado 1/2 a banana & 1/8 cup coconut oil and leave it in my hair with a shower cap, suran wrap or garbage bag on for anywhere from 15 min to and hour. This makes you hair very smooth and shiny. I do this once a week. Also I'm sure you want glowing skin for you wedding so try rubbing salt all over your body in the shower once or twice a week and then use lotion all over after that. (Even celebrities do this!) I know that vitamin B5 helps hair growth & get lots of protein also. Hope this helps!

Continuing to wear your hair in braids or naturally will help, but you MUST condition your hair every time you wash it. This will contribute to hair growth. I use Jane Carter Solution shampoo and conditioners. I lost about half of my hair 2 years ago, but since using Jane Carter, my hair has filled out considerably, almost to the thickness it once was. Good luck.
