Came across this today, it has a lot of interesting info on good hair vitamins:
http://princetonhair.com/new8.htm

They don't cite any of the studies mentioned, and some of them on reversing greyness seem a bit unbelievable, but it is still good info for trying to figure out what vitamins to take. There's a great looking recipe for a hair-health cocktail mentioned at the bottom, I'll paste it here:

Seven Wonders "Hair Food" Cocktail
The following drink contains Protein, Choline, Inositol, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin, Vitamin E and Zinc: The seven ingredients' nutritionists most often recommend for growing healthy hair.
8 Fl oz Plain Yogurt
8 Fl oz Orange Juice
3 Tablespoons Wheat Germ
3 Tablespoons Brewers Yeast
1 Tablespoon Lecithin Crystals
1 Teaspoon Vitamin C Crystals
1 Raw Egg Yolk
1 Tablespoon Unflavored Gelatin Powder
Honey to Taste (optional)
Combine all the ingredients and blend until smooth. If a blender is not available put all the ingredients into a jar with a lid and shake vigorously.
This tonic makes a quick and nutritious breakfast and will work wonders for your hair.
This cocktail should help just about everyone, and you will certainly notice a difference to your hair once you try it.
Another recommended regime for hair loss which has proved to be very effective is a supplement of the Amino Acids, Zinc and Vitamin C. This supplement is particularly good for people who go on crash diets and find a problem with hair loss, or problems which are less obvious such as women who are losing hair as a result of birth control pills and subsequent vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Sounds nasty. :( I can see taking a lot of those things, but not altogether in a drink like that.

I can't see myself having that for breakfast, but it'd be interesting to see what it does to my hair...

Doesn’t seem too bad actually. I wonder where you find these “crystal” things though and I would really like to see the actual vitamin contents on those

I think I’ll stick to my pills, but for those who have problems swallowing vitamin pills this seems to be a good alternative

There's no raw whites in there, it's a raw yolk. ;)

I'm sure you can sub any juice you want
