The products used in your hair care routine are one of the main components of healthy hair but what you put in your body is a huge factor as well. This means the food you eat, the things you drink, and the vitamins you consume on a regular basis. With hair loss being common among people there are a lot of hair growth pills out there that were created to regrow and thicken hair. While some of them do, as they say, adding vitamins to your daily regimen can also support hair regrowth and restoration. Before adding vitamins to your diet be sure to consult your doctor, but here are the best vitamins for hair restoration and growth.
