I take 2500mg every day. My dermatologist recommended it for stengthening my fingernails, which are made from the same stuff as hair. It took 6mos for nails, but hair is almost right away.

I don't know about vitamin, but hair, as well as fingernails, are made of Keratin.

If someone coud solve your problem, they could become very rich. it seems from what I have read about it, that testosterone is converted to another more potent hormone which at first they thought built up around the hair folicle and kept the blood supply away, now it seems they have decided it causes inflamation around the hair folicle and the inflammation is the cause of the hair falling out, if you use an immune system suppressing drug, your hair will grow back, but in doing so, it is very dangerous to mess with immune system suppressing drugs. it appears your immune system is responsible for your loss of hair. most people aren't aware that all steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol, lowering your cholesterol may help slow the process of hair falling out. less cholesterol to make testosterone less to make dht which irritates scalp and causes inflammation. in other words, there isn't much you can do about it.

Poor hygiene and lacks in care weaken hair and this also result occasional itching on skull. It may be genetically  inherited too.\nSituation may improve if personal hygiene is maintained, proper hair-care is taken and a balance diet is practiced. \nIt has been seen Vitamin E also helps  sometimes in having stronger hair.\nOne more amazing fact is, most sexy guys have weak or less hair on their heads, since sex hormone predominates collagen which is responsible for growth and strength of ones hair.

Sometimes. I found that they only work on certain people. I went back to taking Vitamins for Hair.

a good diet will make your hair healthy, which includes shine, silkiness, softness, strength, and manageability.\nvitamin e is good for the hair\nit is moisturizing\nand vitamin a\nis good for the scalp\nand healthy hair growth\nprotein makes ur hair grow faster than anything else because\nhair is basically made of protein\nso\neat eggs.. and dairy products\nyogurt, milk, soymilk, and tofu are great examples\ncitrus fruits are also good for the hair.. and seaweed has a lot of vitamin a. vitamin a can be found in leafy veggies and carrots, especially. it is important to drink enough water to keep ur hair hydrated. 8-10 glasses is suggested for healthy hair growth. also, iron plays an important role in maintaining and growing healthy hair. iron brings oxygen to the hair, allowing it to breathe like us basically\n(not the same way obviously)\nand so if u dont take enough iron.. ur hair will be starved of oxygen and lose its shine, luster, etc.\nb vitamins are also great for the hair. salmon, coldwater fish, and sardines are great fish that contain many of the vitamins hair needs.\ni hope this information helped you!!

Protien, protien, protien. If you aren't getting enough protien in your diet, your hair will fall out. It's possible that the Selsun Blue is just speeding that up because of the chemicals.\n\nThe oil is natural, some people have more than others. Personally, my hair is oily before the end of the day, which sucks. The good thing is that those oils are good for your hair so don't wash too often. Any good hairdresser will tell you not to wash your hair every day. It's actually not good for you. Let those oils stay in your hair for a day and just put your hair up and no one will notice. This may also strengthen your hair.\n\nBut really, make sure you are getting enough protien in your diet and see a doctor if  you feel it's still coming out too much.

I love how people will make fun of other people when it's most likely the first girl who's insecure about having a fat face. You look like a model in your picture. Not fat at all.Anway, I don't know what you are thinking the term "dietary supplement" to mean as I have heard this question before! The term "dietary supplement" means a product (other than tobacco) intended to supplement the diet that contains one or more dietary ingredients (vitamins, herbs). A dietary supplement is limited to products that are intended for ingestion in tablet, capsule, powder, softgel, gelcap, and liquid form, that are not represented as conventional food or as the sole item of a meal or of the diet, and that are labeled as dietary supplements. Additionally, dietary supplements do not include products that are approved drugs, certified antibiotics, or licensed biologics. Vitamins are intended to help your body function in its optimal state. You should be taking them whether or not you are excersing. They will help in so many ways depending on what you are taking. A good multivitamin for a girl is a hair, skin, and nails formula. You will get alot of vitamins plus ones to help your hair, skin, and nails look their best (very strong, clear, etc). If you take too much hyaluronic acid (you probably aren't taking any however) you can look a little puffy. But that's only if you're taking way more than it says since this product works with water. Don't worry about gaining weight or looking puffy though with normal everyday vitamins. If you have anything out of the ordinary with your health, consult your doctor first. If you are healthy you can probably just take them and not worry about anything. Don't take too much zinc though, I've seen a lot of nausea reported cases.

From everything I can find online B12 is supposed to help hair loss:\nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/78/95829.htm\n\nI didn't see anything mentioned with B12 or Biotin that says it will cause headaches, so it might be due to other factors. Are you under a lot of stress at work or is there something else that may be causing it.\n\nI also found another interesting arcticle at this website:\nhttp://www.hairlossspecialists.com/forwomen.cfm\nIt mentions other factors involved in female hair loss and some other different treatment options.\n\nHope I could help.
