Vitamins and minerals can promote healthy hair growth. Like the rest of your body, your hair needs essential nutrients to stay healthy, to grow, and to help it stay on your head instead of in the sink.

Good nutrition helps your hair by building protein, which is what hair is made of. For stronger, thicker looking hair, you can choose foods rich in the nutrients below, or supplement your diet with a Vitamins for Hair.
