Do you want to retain your natural hair color without resorting to dyes? Do you want a fuller, thicker head of hair? Do you want to give shine and moisture back to your dry and dull hair? If you answer yes to all these questions, then feeding your hair vitamins is the way to do it.

No to gray

The hair is colored by the production of a pigment called melanin which is also found in our skin. Specialized organelles in the hair root called melanocytes produce melanin. A vitamin called Para-Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA) can help in keeping the production of melanin high. This vitamin is one of the many kinds of B-complex vitamins and is best for retaining your hair's natural color.

No more hair fall

Hair falls out because of the presence of the androgen Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. The presence of this hormone is more pronounced in men than in women, at least until women reach the age of menopause. To keep your hair full and thick and to control hair fall, make sure the hair vitamin or hair product you select has Lenoleic Acid or Alpha Lenolenic Acid because it is an effective DHT inhibiting agent.

Damaged no more

Parched, lifeless hair is caused by too much exposure to the sun, wind, and water. The excessive use of hair styling products, blow drying, hair perm, hair straightening, hair coloring and use of other chemical treatments can also damage the hair and make it dry and dull. To bring back the luster in your hair, buy a hair vitamin or hair product with the chemical inositol in it. This strengthens the cell membranes in the hair and also causes the hair to retain more moisture. Vitamin E is also an essential hair vitamin. It replaces the moisture lost not only in the hair, but in the skin as well.
