Vitamin b, helping hair grow
i know that vitamin b helps keep ur hair and skin healthy and grow well but which vitamin b? e.g. b1 b2 b3 ect.
or is it just any vitamin b?
Answer:It is advisable to take vitamin complex rather than the individual component of vitamin B. Vitamin B is a fuel to your brain to combat stress, When you can handle stress better, your hair fall less.
My experience is that vitamin does not help to promote hair growth. It just make the hair healthier and less oily.
To better absorb vitamin B, take it with vitamin C.
