Hair care experts suggest that hair vitamins can help reduce hair fall, support hair re-growth, and provide essential nutrition for healthy hair. As the seasons change from winter to spring, maintaining hydration, protection, and nourishment is key to minimizing seasonal hair loss.
Dr. Stuti Khare Shukla, MD Dermatologist and Founder of Elements of Aesthetics, explains that hair growth occurs in cycles with three distinct phases: anagen (growth phase), catagen (transitional phase), and telogen (resting phase). Shedding happens when rest is prolonged or growth is shortened. Hair vitamins typically contain a combination of biotin, vitamin C, vitamin D3, zinc, and iron, which are believed to stop excessive hair loss, promote thicker hair, and improve hair health.
Dr. Shukla further elaborates, “These nutrients contribute to hair growth, follicle strength, and improved texture. By addressing nutrient deficiencies, hair vitamins may help reduce hair fall, accelerate hair growth, and enhance shine and smoothness.”
But do hair vitamins really work? Dr. Shukla clarifies that they are especially effective for individuals experiencing hair loss due to stress, hormones, postpartum recovery, or nutritional deficiencies. She points out that the effectiveness of hair vitamins varies and results can be subtle, often taking several months to appear.
Dr. Shukla advises, “Before starting hair vitamins, it’s important to check for any underlying medical conditions. Dermatologists recommend choosing reputable brands with clear ingredient lists and third-party testing.” She also emphasizes the importance of diet, stress management, and exercise for overall hair health.
In conclusion, Dr. Shukla states that hair vitamins may benefit those with nutrient deficiencies but should be viewed as part of a holistic hair care routine, rather than a quick fix.
