Watching your hair thin or shed can be concerning, especially if you are unsure why it’s happening. If you\u2019re experiencing thinning, breakage, or hair loss, the first step in halting your hair woes is to get to the root of the problem so you know how to treat and, ultimately, regrow thicker, fuller, healthy hair. Factors that can lead to thinning, breakage, and loss include genetics, hormones, excess stress, illness (including COVID-19), giving birth, or a nutrient deficiency<\/a>. Board-certified dermatologist Jose Diego Mier<\/a>, tells Yahoo Life, \u201cWhen it comes to hair health, it\u2019s crucial to maintain an overall healthy lifestyle. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables and proteins can give your body the essential nutrients it needs to support hair growth.\u201d The best hair growth products<\/a> for you will not only come down to the root of the cause, but also your lifestyle. Do you have time for a three-step hair regimen? Or would it be easier to take a supplement once or twice a day? For many, supplements fit the bill better due to the time investment needed for daily use of shampoos and serums.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, multivitamins and supplements are available that have been formulated with extra nutrients specifically designed to offset excessive hair shedding and loss and help you regrow thicker, fuller hair. Some may even surprise you, such as the herb horsetail<\/a> that you won\u2019t come across in the average diet, but it packs a punch when it comes to helping your hair health. <\/p>\n

What key ingredients should I look for in the best hair growth vitamins and supplements?<\/p>\n

Nutrients: <\/strong>Your hair health requires a variety of nutrients<\/a> to be strong and healthy, including B vitamins (you\u2019ve likely heard of the buzzy ingredient biotin) and Vitamins A, C, D, and E, plus minerals like selenium and silica. Besides supporting healthy growth, these micronutrients prevent oxidative stress<\/a> that can damage hair production or cause hair fall.<\/p>\n

Botanicals:<\/strong> Botanicals can address hair fall in a number of ways, such as blocking the production of the hormone DHT<\/a>, the cause of one of the most common causes of thinning, androgenetic alopecia<\/a>, says Hadley King<\/a>, a board-certified dermatologist in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201dThe herb saw palmetto inhibits dihydrotestosterone [DHT]<\/a>,\u201d says King. She also says curcumin<\/a> can be beneficial for its anti-inflammatory properties, while ashwagandha, an adaptogen that can help decrease stress and cortisol, can help keep hair follicles in the growth phase longer in the case of stress-related hair loss, which has been seen in small studies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vitamins:<\/strong> Vitamins that are beneficial for stress-related hair loss (called telogen effluvium<\/a>) include vitamin D, zinc and iron. Biotin, a B vitamin, is another big player in the realm of hair-loss supplements, but maintain some skepticism around this one.<\/p>\n

\u201cKeep in mind that although oral biotin is an ingredient that\u2019s often recommended for hair growth, there isn\u2019t enough evidence to evaluate its effectiveness in the treatment of hair loss,\u201d says King. \u201cHowever, hair loss is a symptom of biotin deficiency, so biotin supplementation is thought to benefit people with hair loss or thinning hair who have a biotin deficiency,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

When should I see my doctor about hair loss?<\/p>\n

Seeing a healthcare professional right away can help make treatments more effective. This is especially important if you\u2019re a female experiencing a receding hairline (frontal fibrosing alopecia<\/a>), which carries a risk for significant permanent baldness.<\/p>\n

If you experience sudden hair loss, it could be a sign of a medical condition.<\/p>\n
