How to Grow Rapunzel-Like Hair: Vitamins for Accelerated Growth

Top products I used to grow long locks!

The Journey to Rapunzel-Like Hair: Vitamins I used  for Accelerated Growth.

Is your hair thinning and disappearing? Don’t worry! It might just need some essential vitamins. A year ago, my hair started vanishing, leaving me frustrated and scared. After seeking answers from my doctor, I discovered that diet played a crucial role in my hair loss.

Now, after months of maintaining a healthy diet and using specific vitamins and products, my hair not only grew back but became thicker than ever!

 

Understanding Hair Growth Phases

Your hair has its own growth cycle, and there are three main phases:

1. Anagen Phase (Active Growth): This is when hair actively grows from the follicle. Key vitamins for this phase include Biotin, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and Vitamin B Complex.

2. Catagen Phase (Transition): Hair follicles shrink and detach from the blood supply. Vitamins crucial for this phase are Vitamin A, C, E, Biotin, D, Zinc, Iron, and Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

3. Telogen Phase (Resting): Hair follicles remain inactive, and old hair sheds to make way for new growth. Vitamins needed during this phase include Vitamins A, C, E, D, Biotin, B Complex, Iron, Zinc, and Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

Each hair follicle operates independently, so different hairs on your scalp may be in different phases of the cycle at any one time.  Many factors affect hair growth. Your nutrition and the vitamins you take, directly impact the hair growth, as they support the entire hair growth cycle.

 

 

These are the Top Vitamins Proven to Support Hair Growth:

 

**Most of these vitamins need to be taken with a meal, please refer to labels when taking any vitamins. I know when I take vitamins on an empty stomach, it makes me want to toss my cookies.

 

Tips to Support Hair Growth

1. Nutrition: Ensure your diet includes these essential vitamins to support hair growth throughout its cycle.

2. Gentle Hair Care: Protect your existing hair by using gentle shampoo, avoiding heat styling tools, and getting regular trims to prevent split ends.

3. Stress Management: Manage stress levels as it can disrupt hormone balance and affect hair growth

 

Recommended Products

These products helped me achieve longer, thicker hair:

 

Natures Bounty, Hair, skin, and nails is by far my favorite multi-vitamin to take. I have one of these bad-boys every morning. They come in gummie form, so they’re easy to chew and they remind me of candy (although don’t eat them like candy). I saw significant improvement in the length and thickness of my hair after a few months. 

Provides Essential Vitamins: E, C, D, and B Vitamins in a Convenient Gummie Form 

 

 

I used Orgain Organic Protein which contained collagen, a major component of hair. This powder was easy to add to my oatmeal in the morning and comes in a chocolate flavor (my favorite).

Contains Collagen and amino acids essential for hair strength. Easily mixable and available in chocolate flavor

Addresses Vitamin D deficiency, which can be a common cause of hair loss

 

 

Last, but not least Vitamin D was the main vitamin I lacked. I learned it was common for most people (43% of Americans) to have low levels of Vitamin D and I had no idea my lack of Vitamin D was the main culprit behind my hair loss. I use and trust the brand Now. 

 

Consultation Note

Consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplements or diet changes to address hair thinning effectively.

Be patient with your hair growth journey—it takes time to see results. With the right vitamins and care, you can achieve longer, healthier hair. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out. Thank you for visiting my blog!
