supplements for hair?

[beachlover]

Other than a multi-vitamin is anyone supplementing with vitamins specifically for Hair Health??? I'm thinking about buying some but I see so many different brands to choose from. Has anyone noticed their hair growing faster while taking the vitamins and what brands have you had success with? Thanks!!!:)

I myself am not taking anything but my downstairs neighbour is, she wants her hair to grow faster so she's taking an herbal supplement & the main (mane? :p) ingredient is Horsetail, I have read about Horsetail for promoting healthy hair growth, and she swears her hair seems to be growing faster! I believe the Latin name is Equisetum arvense, please do research it yourself beforehand, but I've read nothing but good about it!

Besides healthy diet and multi-vitamin I take some fish oil omega 3 fatty acid capsules. (I don't know exactly what they are called in english.) I take two every day and I think that it's very helpful on my journey to long hair. :D

Thank you both for the suggestions!!

I take flax oil capsules to about 1000mg a day. I think that is what has made my hair nicer this growing than any other time.

Omega 3/6/9 oils; extra B complex; a protein shake daily; and Silica/MSM/Horsetail in one pill (called Kal Super Silica Plus).

I take hair vitamins. It contains a lot of vitamin B which can help with hair growth. My hair grows a little bit faster.

Iv tried Iron supplements but they just made my tongue have pins and needles, my next trial is with Biotin supplements.

Food wise Iv added lots of spinach, a banana a day, apples, carrots and I want to get back to having eggs. I dont eat cheese (I cant stand the smell) but any diary is very good so Im making up with yoghurts.

I highly recommend the vitamins for skin, hair and nails, it has made a difference for me. I'm not shedding as much and I have noticed my bangs and sides are growing faster, just like the nails grow, my hair too must be growing!

I take a hair vitamin called Nature's Bounty Hair & Nails, as well as a multi vitamin for women, and omega3-6-9. I find a huge difference when I take these, and the Nature's Bounty has definitely been the best one. I buy mine at Wal Mart for about $7 a bottle.

Flax seed oil capsules, evening primrose oil capsuls, biotin, and I'm thinking about getting silica.

I take a multivitamin, Silica and MSM. My nails at least are definitely much improved since I started taking Silica.

I take a multi, MSM, biotin, silica, and kelp

All of you have been very helpful! Thank you!

I'm really curious to see how the MSM works! I never realized it was a hair supplement! Thanks everyone!!!!
