If you want to improve the look and feel of your hair and scalp, it is important to use the right hair products. It is also important to eat right and take the right vitamins. Let’s look into some of the best vitamins, minerals, and nutrients for your hair and scalp health. You can take these vitamins or supplements or make sure to get all of this in your everyday diet.
Iron
Many people experience hair loss or hair shedding if they are deficient in iron. Iron deficiencies are very common, especially in women. You need iron for the growth phase of your hair. If you don’t get enough iron, your hair won’t get what it needs because will be distributed to other more important parts of your body.
B Vitamins
B vitamins create red blood cells and help carry oxygen and nutrients to your scalp and hair follicles. Vitamin B7, which is commonly known as biotin, is especially helpful for your hair. It helps make keratin which forms your hair strands.
Protein
Your hair is made up mostly of protein, so you need to make sure you are getting enough! If you don’t get enough from food, consider taking a protein supplement every day, especially if you work out frequently.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Fatty acids help balance oil production in your scalp. If you are experiencing any scalp issues, you may need more omega-3 in your life. It is almost impossible to have healthy hair without a healthy scalp.
Vitamin D
A vitamin D deficiency is one of the most common causes of hair loss. While a great source of Vitamin D is the sun, don’t forget to wear sunscreen to protect your skin. Remember, your scalp can get sunburned too so be sure to wear a hat or use a spray sunscreen that is safe for your scalp and hair.
Zinc
Zinc helps your hair grow and a zinc deficiency has been linked to hair loss.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C helps create collagen which is great for your hair and skin. If your hair has been looking extra dull lately, you might need some more vitamin C.
