I just started taking Biotin,Zinc and Iron yesterday. I also eat healthy to and have a good healthy diet. Are those the right vitimins for my hair growth and if so i have another question. i take one of each every day, should i take more of the biotin and if so how much more and what are the dosages that we should take of the biotin.

Biotin works even better with MSM.

I have a question too. I've looked on the internet for hair vitamins and heard a lot about Shen min, Hair Formula 37, and Exotic Allure which is like especially for black people's hair. Have any of yall tried any of these? If so, did they actually grow your hair and were they worth the money. Cause some of those vitamins are expensive.

I take biotin, evening primrose oil, skin hair and nails(vitamin shoppe), vitamin e, super b complex,l-lysine, msm and flax powder. So yes you are on the right track and you can always tweak your regimine later in terms of adding and subtracting supplements and increasing/decreasing dosages.

Some protein and vitamins in hair products can't penetrate or be absorbed by the hair shaft because the molecule is too big.

Carameldiva,

Do you find that the evening primrose oil helps to nourish your scalp? If so, do you feel that it actually helps to keep it moisturized? I've seen posts where people think that some supplements like Visical may create xtra oil production in the scalp.

Anyone else with any input, please reply. Thanks

Kim J,
I also take evening primorose and it has really helped in nourishing my scalp and keeping my hair soft. I started at the beginning of December and there is definitely a difference and that is the only thing I have added since.

Thanks Honeydoo,

I think I'm going to add it to my vitamin regime. I'll try to remember to post an update about my results from specialized vitamins in a few months.

I like flax oil. It softens my hair especially towards the root. Exercising like jog-walking helps hair grow faster by stimulating the blood vessels.

I was taking GNC Nourishair and it worked really good.  I didn't notice any faster growth, but my hair did grow stronger and the new growth was more smoother. 

I've tried the Biotin and the MSM alone but I had bad acne!!!  So what I do is crack open some Biotin capsules and add it to my conditioner.  My hair is very strong.
