My grandma told me that, so I was taking them for a while, but no change in hair growth..... then I asked my doctor and she told me their wasn't any pill to grow your hair.. (so sad!) and prenatal pills are really just a multivitamin with a tricky name..

Hypothyroidism & Clogged arteries cause hair loss. \n\nKelp and seaweeds contains iodine, which is the basic substance of thyroid hormone. Tis is a number 1 way to use food to stimulate hair growth.\n\nZinc deficiency is often a deficiency. Pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts & raw spinach will give your body enough zinc.\n\nCollged arteries start with a clogged gut.\n\nDrink 6 glasses of water each day and add unrefined sea salt \nto three glasses of water each day.\n\nApple Cider Vinegar externally will make the hair you do have healthy and taking 1 tablespoon with cinnamon and carrot juice will help unclog your arteries.\n\nNeem Oil, Coconut Oil, & Olive Oil applide externally will work in growing new hair when nothing else will.  \nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=235&t=42812\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=380&t=43009\n\n\n\nCayenne pepper and Tumeric will greatly enhance circulation. Add these spices to food.\n\nI have started to grow new hair with a diet of most of the foods I listed but neem oil applied externally was my breakthrough.\n\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=179 \nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=125&t=42962

You have decided to become a Mom!  Congratulations!!  I appreciate your eagerness to fortify yourself before becoming pregnant with a child.\n\nAre you so anaemic that you have to take all these vitamins/folic acids?  Excessive intake of vitamins/folic acids is harmful.  \nThe right way to do it to consult your gynaecologist.  She/he will check you up and prescribe, if necessary, the requisite vitamins/folic acids.\n\nFor the time being please maintain proper diet regimen.

KEEP TAKING YOUR VITAMINS!!!\n\nOrdinarily the average head sheds 100 hairs a day, which are being continually replaced.  During pregnancy, the (darned) hormonal changes keep those hairs from falling out.  But the reprieve is only temporary.  Those hairs are slated to go, and they will, within three to six months of delivery. Some women who are breastfeeding exclusively find that hair fall doesn't begin until they wean their baby or supplement the nursing with formula or solids.\n\nTo keep hair healthy eat well, take your vitamins, shampoo only when necessary, use conditioner, use a wide-toothed comb, and avoid using heat on your hair.  It may be a good idea to postpone permanents, hair color, and hair relaxing treatments until your tresses seem back to normal.\n\nIf hair loss is excessive, especially if you are also experiencing other symptoms of thyroid disease consult a doctor.\n\nSO.. to answer your question, unfortunatly there's really nothing you can do.  It's just another "fun" thing about having a baby that will eventually go away.  Isn't it great?!?!  NOT!! I've been losing my hair for almost two months now.. I'm constantly pulling hairs off my baby, off kitchen counters, out of the drain.. it's endless.  Eew.

Folic acid is a naturally occurring B vitamin that helps a baby's neural tube—the part of a developing baby that becomes the brain and spinal cord—develop properly. It must be taken before and during early pregnancy when the neural tube is developing.\n\nThe best way to get enough folic acid is to take a multivitamin with 400 micrograms of folic acid in it and eat a healthy diet. Most multivitamins have this amount, but check the label to be sure. You also can get folic acid in your diet, but it's hard to get enough every day through food alone. That's why the March of Dimes encourages all women of childbearing age to take a multivitamin containing folic acid every day as part of a healthy diet.\n\nFolic acid works, but it only works if taken before and during the first few weeks of pregnancy, when the neural tube is developing into the brain and spinal cord. When the neural tube does not close properly, a baby is born with a very serious birth defect called a neural tube defect (NTD). About 3,000 pregnancies are affected by NTDs each year in the United States. If all women took adequate folic acid before conception and during pregnancy, up to 70 percent of NTDs could be prevented. \n\nFolic acid has no known toxic level. If you ate a bowl of fully fortified cereal (400 micrograms), took a folic acid supplement (400 micrograms), and ate fortified foods and foods rich in folate, you would not get too much folic acid. Even in very high amounts, folic acid is non-toxic. Still, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that women consume no more than 1,000 micrograms of synthetic folic acid a day

There are ways, but you won't like them.  Alopecia is the absence of hair.  One form is an autoimmune form where the immune system attacks the hair follicles on the whole body. Those who have this kind of alopecia wish that they had hair because it is cold without hair or eyelashes etc. \nIt is better to think of borrowing someone's hair straightener for the time being.  People that I know who had cowlicks on the front found that they went away after some time (ie after high school)

Try using vitamins A&E I think that is the one for hair loss. Vitamin B if I'm not mistaken is to help the blood flow and increase energy and also for healthy diet.

Eating a balanced diet is essential for maintaining good hair health and also your overall body health. According to nutritionists, people who have nutritional deficiencies in their diet have dull and stringy hair and can at times even suffer from a temporary case of hair loss. \n\nA diet, which is very low in calories, can affect your hair. Eating too much of only certain food groups and eliminating others from your diet, can also cause hair loss. Studies have shown that a deficiency of Zinc can severely affect your hair and cause it to fall. Zinc is present in meat, seafood, and eggs; so you should try and incorporate these in your diet. For vegetarians, a zinc supplement may help. \n\nHair, to remain healthy, needs essential fatty acids. The omega-3 fatty acids provide the hair follicles with the nutrients necessary for good health and to keep the hair and scalp from drying up. If the hair follicle will not get its share of these fatty acids, it becomes weak and this results in hair loss and thinning of hair. Thus a diet, which all but eliminates fat, is not good for the hair. Omega-3 fatty acids are present in mackerel, salmon, flaxseed oil, macadamia nuts, and walnuts. \n\nAnother constituent of the Vitamin B complex, known as Biotin, is very essential for healthy hair. A deficiency of biotin is known to cause hair loss. Any foods which give you a good amount of protein such as meat, eggs etc, should take care of your biotin requirements for preventing temporary hair loss. Vegetarians can take milk products, cereals, cottage cheese, and tofu to increase their protein and biotin intake. \n\nHence, from all the above, it can be seen that people who have a poor diet or eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, are at an increased risk of temporary hair loss due to nutritional deficiencies that weaken their hair shafts and follicles. Thus it is important to have a proper diet. A healthy and balanced diet will definitely help in improving your hair condition as well as stop it from falling due to any diet related deficiency.

Prenatals are just vitamin tablets withall the vitamins that a woman needs during pregnance.  I don't believe that there is anything wrong when taking them any other time.  If it could cause problems in non-pregnant women, then it should tell you on the warning label.

They might increase your appetite, but vitamins alone won't make you gain weight.

You are probably just losing hair because of the fall in hormones following your pregnancy & the fact that you are still breastfeeding means your hormones are not properly back to normal. Probably not premenopausal unless early menopause runs in the family.

Vitamin stores carry supplements that are a combination of different vitamins that target hair.  They are usually labeled something like "hair, nails and skin" formula.  Just stop by your local nutritional store and ask a sales person.

Vitamin E and Calcium are good for hair skin and nails.  You might also want to try lotion or cream or conditioners w/ olive oil or extract in them. My daughters are bi-racial and I'm always looking for something to keep moisture in their hair, I find these products work best.
