Vitamins for Hair Growth ??

Hi

I am transitioning from perm to natural.

Can anyone suggest a good vitamin that promotes growth for black hair.

Someone mentioned "Nioxin". . . . ?

Thanks.

Evening Primrose Oil is a good source of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA), an EFA essential for cell metabolism and growth. This oil, also found in capsule form, aids hair growth and restoration. Other outstanding sources of GLA are Borage Oil and Black Current Oil.

Silica provides collagen essential for luxurious hair growth.
Lecithin is used by every living cell in our bodies. It helps purify your system and aids in the absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Choline and Inositol are important for hair metabolism.
Calcium is important for actively growing hair follicle cells.
Vitamin E is an excellent antioxidant particularly good for preventing the oxidization of Vitamins A & C, maintains cell membranes and general health of the blood.
Zinc keeps hair follicles from atrophying.
Copper ensures hair pigment.
Manganese and Iron are essential for follicle growth.
Iodine is essential for optimum hair growth.
Niacin restores hair pigmentation when taken over a long period of time.
Biotin has been called "the hair vitamin" because of its growth benefits.

Hair Growth Vitamins and Minerals in The Food You Eat
The quality of your hair reflects in part the adequacy of your diet. Regular well-rounded meals are best for you and your hair. Iron deficiency due to inadequate consumption of red meat or heavy menstrual bleeding in women, could cause hair loss.

Good info!

I love scalp massages...I need to start back working out though, I have been slackin' in that dept.

I kno right, whenever I get my hair done, I can just fall asleep

I've been hearing a lot about Nioxin, where can you buy it from?

Nioxin is good! It good for both natural and chemically treated hair. Also I would recommend a humective conditioner when conditioning your hair as well.

I liked Nioxin. I have heard about Mega Tech and some women say that they didnt see much growth but everyone is different!

MTG= Shapley's original Mane Tail Groom. I've heard it's smelly (haven't used it) but aids growth. You can get it from shapleys.com. I believe you would apply it onto your hair/scalp, massage it in.

A lot of ladies use Mega-Tek and seen great growth from it. I've tried it and it didn't give me the results I was looking for: to re-grow lost hair, so I really didn't pay attention to the length since that wasn't my goal.

I keep it simple, I don't use many products, but I make sure to have my moisture and protein covered.

My all around goal is for strong and healthy hair, length wise, I want to see how long I can grow it before I get sick of it and want to cut lol. When I last checked back in March I was APL-ish and going for MBL by the end of the year.
