Hey everybody!
Im new here, and was just wondering what everyones thoughts were towards hair vitamins and supplements. I was considering buying some, but wasnt sure if they are worth the money. I am aware that they will not make your hair grow faster, but has anyone experienced better quality of hair, as in thicker, stronger, shinier etc after using them for a period of time?
Thanks for your help

Eating healthy and being healthy are the best ways to grow healthy hair.  There are many supplements on the market that are specifically for hair.  I've found a good daily vitamin to work well.  When I was experiencing a lot of shedding, I added silica and biotin, but I don't take those all the time, just when I do a lot of shedding in the fall.

well considering over 90% of a humans vitamins are from fruits, veggies, and grains, I don't know if I'd consider eating habbits like rarely eating any fruits or veggies really counting as eatting even slightly good.  ??? (Im supposing there are no doctors on here to get on your case for that one lol  )
but its probably going to do more for your hair (your body, skin, energy level, etc.) to be eatting a little bit better (they wern't joking when they reccomended 5 servings of veggies a day) as well vitamins direct from your food sources are absorbed by your body much easier then vitamins you will ever take in pill form so it may do your hair (and your pocket book) better just to watch what you eat a little. 

that said even if you do eat healthy I have been told by a few doctors who believe everyone should take a multi-vitamins. As well,when I was pregnant I was told when your hair and nails grow its not because of your hormones so much, but the prenatal vitamins you are taking, and for people to take those. now I notice a difference in my nails (not my hair) when I remember to take my muti-vitamin on a regular basis, Im sure there is a difference in my hair too, I just don't notice.

I have always wondered myself though if there was a big difference in a hair vitamin supplement, if there was anything in it thats not in a GOOD multi-vitamin. I love reading this board, I will look into sillica can't hurrt

Hi FaeDreams!

I take biotin tablets and silica gel separately.  I dont' know if there used together in a multivitamin but there excellent for hair and nails

Nioxin puts out a multivit. pill with biotin in it but I didn't check for the silica in it. I take two multi a day so I'm just going to buy the biotin. Its supposed to be fairly cheap. Nioxin here is about $17.50 a month.

My name is Leelee and I am new to the forum. I have my hair many lengths and colors throughout the years, but within the last five years have decided to let it grow out. The answer to growing long healthy hair begins with a healthy attitude. The way a person acts or thinks plays a major role in how healthy their body is. My secret is to read my Bible and pray daily. "The joy of the LORD is your strength." All good things come from GOD who created all things. And for added strength try 2500 mcg's of biotin daily or Appearex 2.5 mg, daily. GOD BLESS!!!

Hello Leelee, it is great to have you here
