It’s a fact. Right or wrong, people judge you by your appearance. An ancient cliché says, “You only have one chance to make a good first impression,” which is so true. A full head of attractive hair signals far more than ascetics; it reflects youth and internal health.

We go to the gym to train our muscles and build stamina. We watch what we eat to avoid getting fat. We buy expensive clothes, jewelry, after-shave lotions, make-up, and many other ways of looking our best.

But for some folks, nothing can overcome thinning, hard-to-manage hair. “Bad hair day” is not funny to many. Hair is important.

Finding the right shampoo and conditioner is an essential first step. But for people who are seeing their hairline recede, these shampoos, conditioners, and gels fail to deliver on their promise.

Looking for cures in all the wrong places

Perhaps people who are desperate to keep their hair are, as the song goes, looking for cures in all the wrong places.

An often overlooked fact is the link between what goes into your body and the health of your hair. Good nutrition can boost cell growth and give your hair a fighting chance to grow or regrow. The proper nutrients begin with intelligent food choices.

But to ensure you are getting all the vitamins and minerals needed, supplements are needed. The past several decades have seen a dramatic decline in food quality on our supermarket shelves. The level of chemical additives added to food has exploded, and, for convenience, there has been far more consumption of processed meats, saturated fats, and refined carbohydrates.

If that weren’t bad enough, consider this: our meat is from animals pumped full of hormones, and our fruits and vegetables have grown in over-harvested, nutritionally-deficient soil.

In light of this, nutritional supplements are not optional if your goal is optimal health...and having a full head of hair.

Here are a few vitamins and minerals that have shown promise for keeping and possibly regrowing hair:

Vitamin A. Adequate levels of vitamin A are essential for skin health, and this vitamin may help hair grow. This growth occurs because vitamin A plays a significant role in cell growth. Want proof? Read the ingredients in many hair loss concoctions. Also, vitamin A nudges the skin glands to pump out sebum, an oily material that moisturizes and hydrates the hair.
Vitamin E. Vitamin E is a common ingredient in skin care moisturizers and creams since this vitamin also acts as a moisturizer and boosts blood flow to the scalp, which creates a suitable environment for hair growth. Also, vitamin E strengthens hair by reducing breakage and split ends.
Collagen. As with the first two substances on this list, collagen also works wonders on the skin and helps hair growth by helping to make Keratin, a protein that is the main component in the nails, skin, and hair. Additionally, research has discovered that collagen may slow the graying and thinning of hair.
Vitamin C. Vitamin C made this list since it boosts collagen, which, as mentioned above, is crucial for hair health. Vitamin C also reduces dandruff and lowers the level of dihydrotestosterone, a primary culprit in hair loss.
Biotin. Also known as vitamin B7, biotin is included in this list because, like collagen, it assists in making keratin. Biotin can also help the body convert food into energy.
Iron. Last but certainly not least, iron is included since studies have uncovered a connection between low iron levels and hair loss.

The key takeaway is this: shampoos and conditioners are essential to your hair’s appearance. But they are just the first step. Healthy hair grows from within. Once your hair begins to recede or is damaged, these developments can be stopped and reversed. But you must address the issue and use every tool available, including the proper nutrients.
