Long, shiny, strong hair flowing over the shoulders is the ultimate dream of every woman, regardless of her age and social status. Long hair looks very impressive, and therefore many girls and women strive to have just such hair. In adulthood, representatives of the fairer sex usually have short haircuts, but in their youth, almost everyone dreams of long hair. Growing the desired length is not as easy as it seems. Reaching a certain length, the hair may begin to split, and its owner has to cut off split ends from time to time. A desperate representative of the fair sex, in the struggle for the ideal hair length, tries all available means - from pharmacy to folk recipes, achieving varying degrees of success. But it is worth remembering that beautiful and long hair is not only but also an important indicator of a woman’s health. Hair, like skin, can say a lot about how well the body of its owner functions. If you have problems with your hair that cannot be solved with cosmetics and changing shampoo, you should consult a medical specialist. After an examination, the doctor can name the true reason for the slowdown in hair growth.

Causes of slow hair growth

As a rule, the reasons can be internal and external. Internal causes of slow hair growth include the following:

• Lack of certain vitamins and minerals in the body. The lack of macro- and microelements such as sulfur, calcium, iron, iodine, selenium, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, zinc, chromium and others significantly affects the condition of the hair. Vitamin deficiency or hypovitaminosis of beta-carotene, B vitamins, tocopherol, vitamins D and C also slows down hair growth and worsens its structure.
• Insufficient blood supply to scalp cells of various origins. As a result of this reason, the hair follicles do not receive oxygen in the proper amount.
• The mature age of a woman, in which hormonal changes in the body occur and deterioration in the growth and appearance of hair.
• The presence of various ailments in a woman, including the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, and diseases of the hair follicles.
• Stressful situations and unhealthy lifestyle.

External reasons that provoke slow hair growth include:

• Exposure to environmental aggressors: ultraviolet rays of the sun, wind, frost, exhaust gases, etc.
• Using hot styling with a hairdryer and iron.
• Perm and aggressive coloring.
• Incorrectly selected shampoo and hair care products.

Ingoda, several factors act together, and their negative impact has a cumulative effect on the hair. Their growth slows down, hair takes on a dull and lifeless appearance. After the examination, the doctor will make a diagnosis. Then the picture will be clear. The disease will need to be treated with medications prescribed by the doctor. Most likely, in addition to the main therapy, the doctor will prescribe a complex of vitamins. If no serious disease is detected, then it will be quite enough to adjust your diet and lead a healthy lifestyle. In addition, the beauty industry does not leave women alone with their problems. Cosmetology stores and pharmacies are replete with products that help intensify hair growth and help strengthen hair follicles.

Proper nutrition for hair growth

Nutritionists say that with a properly balanced diet, health problems will never arise. If you correctly develop a diet, include foods rich in vitamins and minerals, maintain a balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, then a beautiful and blooming appearance is guaranteed.

Let's figure out what is good for hair growth and what substances must be present in our daily diet.

To ensure normal healthy hair growth, you need a balanced diet:

• Proteins must be present in the required quantity. It is better to choose lean meat, eggs, nuts and fish as sources.
• Fats in the form of unsaturated fatty acids, which are present in fatty fish and vegetable oils.
• Complex carbohydrates, which are found in fruits, vegetables, whole grain flour, bran.

Let's list the vitamins that promote normal hair growth:

• Ascorbic acid(for active blood flow and complete absorption of iron, accelerates hair growth). Contained in large quantities in rose hips, bell peppers, citrus fruits, currants, etc.
• B vitamins strengthen the hair structure, make it thick, shiny and elastic, promote normal growth. Contained in cereals, brewer's yeast, nuts.
• Beta-carotene, or vitamin A, gives hair softness and silkiness, moisturizing and fighting split ends. Vitamin A is found in eggs, liver, butter, orange vegetables and fruits.
• Tocopherol, or vitamin E, has a healing effect on the entire hair structure - from the bulb to the tip, acts as a protector and improves blood circulation in the scalp. This vitamin is found in vegetable oils, nuts, eggs and green vegetables.
• Tyrosine, an amino acid, protects hair from premature aging and graying.

In addition to vitamins, to strengthen and grow hair, it is necessary to include macro- and microelements in the daily diet:

• Zinc fights gray hair and hair loss (onions, garlic, seafood).
• Copper also promotes healthy hair (cereals, pumpkin, apricots).
• Phosphorus gives hair a bright color and maintains elasticity of the structure (legumes, fish).
• Magnesium makes hair elastic (dried apricots, greens, nuts).
• Sulfur adds shine and strength (legumes, garlic, fish, liver).
• Silicon strengthens the hair structure (root vegetables, cucumbers, zucchini).
• Iodine heals hair by enhancing local metabolism (mushrooms, seafood, persimmon).
• Iron improves blood circulation and oxygen supply to the scalp (meat, liver).
• Calcium needed to build the correct hair structure (sesame, dairy products).
• Selenium plays the role of a protector from the harmful effects of the environment (milk, meat, rye bread).

The best and worst foods for hair growth

Thus, we summarize what is good for hair growth:

• Seafood: fish, seafood (protein, zinc, iodine, polyunsaturated fatty acids, phosphorus).
• Leafy vegetables and greens (calcium, iron, magnesium, vitamins A and C).
• Poultry (easily digestible protein and iron).
• A variety of vegetable oils (vitamins E, A, D and unsaturated fats).
• Chicken eggs (easily digestible protein and B vitamins).
• Root vegetables (magnesium, potassium, vitamins A and B).
• Cereals (B vitamins).
• Legumes (biotin, iron, zinc).
• Nuts and seeds (vitamin E and unsaturated fats, selenium and zinc).

There is also a list of products that negatively affect the growth and condition of human hair. These include:

• Sugar (including carbonated drinks), the excess of which in the body acts as a toxin. Among other things, it makes the scalp more oily.
• Salt, as well as fast food and processed foods rich in this substance, interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals.
• Caffeine blocks the absorption of potassium, zinc, and vitamins B and C.

Pharmacy vitamin complexes for hair growth and strengthening

If, nevertheless, correct nutrition cannot solve the problem of slow hair growth, then you need to pay attention to vitamin complexes for hair growth. In pharmacies, such products are now available in a wide range. Pharmaceutical companies produce multivitamin complexes aimed directly at improving and activating their growth. Their composition is balanced based on a person’s daily need for a particular vitamin or mineral, which is good for hair growth. The intake of one or another vitamin-mineral complex should be prescribed by a doctor, based on the individual properties of the body. Choosing a drug on your own may result in an allergic reaction. Among the most famous multivitamin complexes for growth are the following:

• "Revalid" is a drug based on a group of amino acids and vitamins that has a beneficial effect on hair and nail growth.

Homemade hair growth sprays

For those who do not want to spend colossal amounts of money on expensive products from stores, there are medicinal recipes for hair intended for home preparation.

Here, for example, is a recipe for an herbal hair spray. To prepare it you will need mint, burdock, string, chamomile, St. John's wort and calendula. All herbs are taken in a teaspoon, a cinnamon stick is also added. The mixture is poured with boiling water with a volume of about 250 ml. Infused until cool, then filtered. 1 can of ginseng infusion is added to the filtrate. Before use, the composition is poured into a spray bottle and nicotinic acid is added. If you have it, you can replace it with pepper tincture. The effect of using such a spray is obvious. Accelerated growth, improvement in hair structure will please you.

There is an easier recipe for a homemade spray for hair growth and thickness. To prepare it you will need fresh lemon juice (8 tablespoons), distilled water - 2 glasses, 2 tablespoons of vodka, two or three drops each of rosemary and ylang-ylang oil. Mix all the ingredients in a convenient container with a spray bottle and let it brew for a day in the refrigerator. The spray nourishes the hair follicles and promotes their accelerated growth.

Folk recipes for hair growth and beauty

In addition to hair sprays, you can use various folk remedies at home. These are various oils, masks, infusions. Our great-grandmothers kept beauty recipes that are passed down from generation to generation. They have proven their effectiveness through centuries of use. In the modern world, replete with industrial beauty products, folk recipes are still relevant. Women trust them because they are distinguished by their natural composition and affordable price. Homemade masks give instant results, since the biologically valuable substances in them are in an active state, and their absorption occurs much more efficiently than from pharmaceutical preparations.

Burdock oil for hair growth and strengthening

Burdock oil, which is very inexpensive, is an excellent remedy for hair. Since ancient times, it has been used by beauties for hair care. This oil is obtained from burdock roots through oil extraction. The oil contains many biologically active substances: vitamins, proteins, minerals, inulin, tanning components, stearic and burdock oil. Burdock oil is used according to the wrapping scheme: oil is applied to damp, clean hair, rubbed into the roots and distributed along the length. Then the hair is wrapped in plastic and a towel. After two hours, the oil must be washed off with shampoo. The procedure can be repeated 1-2 times a week. Burdock oil is suitable for damaged hair, as it restores its structure well. You can combine this remedy with egg yolks, lemon juice, honey, other oils (castor, chamomile, wheat, jojoba, rosehip), mustard, onion juice. You can also add burdock oil, the price of which ranges from 20-130 rubles per bottle, to your regular shampoo and enjoy excellent hair quality after washing.

Can chicken eggs improve hair quality?

This is such a simple and affordable product that many are surprised by the fact that a chicken egg effectively helps with hair growth problems. The balanced composition of the egg, which includes a large amount of protein, vitamins B, D, A and B2, amino acids, mineral compounds, lecithin and cholesterol, has a beneficial effect on the hair structure, acting regeneratively. Under the influence of the biologically active substances of the egg, the hair becomes soft and silky smooth.

Eggs for hair growth are included in a variety of masks. You can mix the egg with burdock oil, honey and cognac, aloe, lemon juice, yogurt and other nutritious ingredients. Such masks are applied to clean hair, wrapped and left for several hours. Then you need to wash your hair and enjoy the result.

Plant infusions for hair growth and strengthening

The use of plant infusions is also an ancient and very effective way to stimulate hair growth and improve hair quality. Examples include the following tinctures for hair growth:

• A tablespoon of nettle is poured into a glass of boiling water and left for an hour. This lotion is rubbed into the hair roots several times a week.
• Infuse three tablespoons of coltsfoot in a liter of boiling water, strain and rinse your hair after each wash.
• Infuse one large hot red pepper in 100 g of vodka for 2-3 weeks in a dark place. The result is a legendary pepper tincture that has an unsurpassed stimulating effect on the hair roots. You can use the tincture separately, rubbing it into the scalp, or add it to various masks, mixing it with honey, burdock oil or beer.
• Infuse 2-3 tablespoons of calendula flowers in a small amount of boiling water or alcohol. The tincture is used as a rinse after shampooing. This product strengthens hair, fights split ends and dandruff.

All of the above products for hair growth and strengthening work most effectively in combination. To the main therapy prescribed by your doctor, add various masks or sprays. Decide for yourself which means to give preference to - home or industrial. The main thing is regular use and compliance with all recommendations of specialists. The result will not take long to arrive. As a reward for your care, your hair will grow faster and will delight you with its healthy shine, thickness and fullness.

Founder of SDR Technology, NUS student studying biochemistry and molecular biology, Elena Kornilova ( @helenakornilova.sdr) told why you need nicotinic acid, how to prepare a lotion at home that accelerates hair growth, and also shared the secrets of care.

Elena Kornilova

NUS student, founder of SDR Technology

“In order for hair to grow faster, you first need to improve microcirculation. Any methods will do: scalp massage, nicotinic acid sprays and other stimulants. In addition, you need to take care of the root, nourishing it with nutrients and vitamins. Don't forget about proper care of the hair shaft. The complex should include a mild shampoo for daily use, conditioner for colored and damaged hair, a mask, leave-in care in the form of sprays, oil for ends, and thermal protection. Hair growth sprays work great in combination with Darsonval. Apply to scalp. Give a light scalp massage. And then use Darsonval for 5-10 minutes. Taking vitamins and minerals for hair growth can also be supplemented with ginkgo biloba extract, which stimulates blood circulation and improves microcirculation of the scalp. It is also an excellent antihypoxic agent. The daily dosage is 300-400 mg.”

A nicotinic acid

Nicotinic acid for topical use is still the simplest, inexpensive and quite effective remedy for hair growth. The result is explained simply: it dilates blood vessels, improving blood circulation and helping to saturate the follicles with oxygen and nutrients. Nicotinic acid has only one drawback: it is not recommended for use in its pure form by everyone - it can cause peeling that lasts about a week and headaches.

Price: 33 rub. for 10 ampoules

Lotion "Hair Expert", Evalar

If you are intolerant to nicotinic acid in its pure form, use sprays based on it. They contain additional ingredients that relieve irritation and have anti-inflammatory, strengthening and androgenic effects: extract of nettle, chamomile, horsetail, yarrow and other ingredients.

In the early 90s, a remedy for hair loss was patented in America, which included three ingredients: L-carnitine, ascorbic acid and vitamin PP (nicotiamide). Expert Hair lotion from Evolar is similar, but it has more active ingredients: L-arginine, panthenol, biotin, vitamin B6 and others. Apply the product 3-4 times a week - no need to rinse off. The course of treatment is at least two months.

Price: 600 rub.

Usma juice and oil

Usma juice and oil are an excellent natural hair growth activator. They contain linoleic, linolenic, oleic acids, mustard oil and other beneficial substances that actively nourish and saturate the bulbs. But these products are not suitable for blondes - they can dye their hair, giving an undesirable shade.

Price: about 700 rub.

Hellebore water

For those whose hair grows to a certain length and then stops growing, I recommend trying this lotion. The active ingredients it contains increase the growth phase by eliminating subclinical inflammation in the hair follicles. In addition, the product has an antiandrogenic effect and also combines well with minoxidil.

Price: 1,871 rub.

Strengthening tonic for hair growth with rosemary, Weleda

Nettle - 20 g
Horsetail - 20 g
Hops - 20 g
Mint tincture
Ginseng tincture

Pour 250 ml of vodka over the herbs and let steep for two days. After this, strain and add equal parts of mint and ginseng tincture.

What else to see:

In this article we will look at everything most popular ways to speed up hair growth at home and their effectiveness. The average human hair growth rate is approximately 1 cm per month, and in the warm season, approximately 1.5 cm. Now there is a huge amount of means to increase the growth rate to 3-3.5 cm per month. We have selected the best ones for you.

1. Nicotinic acid

Nicotine not only helps to grow a long mane, but also reduces hair loss. Quite simple and effective to use. About 80% of those who have tried this drug note hair growth of up to 3 cm per month. To achieve a good result, it is recommended to apply a course lasting 30 days. Every day, before going to bed, massage one ampoule into the scalp (namely, into the skin, not onto the hair!). You should not use more than one ampoule per day to avoid overdose.

The procedure is best carried out after washing your hair on naturally dried hair, so that dust and sebum do not penetrate the follicles along with the nicotine. A little tip for economical application: pour the contents of one ampoule into a small container (for example, a jar lid) and dip your fingers in the liquid and apply to the scalp along the partings. Keep the distance between the partings at 3-4 cm and don’t worry about not being able to apply the product to your entire head, the blood will do it for you.

If applied correctly, you will feel a slight ant effect. You can buy nicotinic acid at any pharmacy at a price from 100 to 180 rubles. for 10 ampoules.

2. Castor oil

One of the most popular and favorite remedies among the fair sex. It accelerates hair growth almost as effectively as nicotinic acid, but it has one, in the literal sense of the word, fatty minus. It is very difficult to wash off from the hair, as it has a dense consistency. But even here the ladies got used to it and began to wash it out of their hair, first with laundry soap and then with shampoo.

Castor oil perfectly restores hair, thickening its structure, eliminates hair frizz, makes it elastic and bouncy. He has no special recommendations on the frequency of use, you can use it at least every day, if not laziness. It is most convenient to apply also along the partings, taking the oil into a syringe. First, evenly distribute the oil on the hair roots, and then comb through the entire length with a fine comb, then place the hair in cellophane and wrap with a towel. You should keep castor oil on your head for at least an hour.

A positive effect is noted after the first application, the hair becomes smoother and denser. You can buy castor oil at a pharmacy or specialized stores at a price of 30 to 100 rubles. for a bottle.

3. Pepper tincture

Pepper is not only an excellent remedy for hair growth, but also perfectly eliminates the problem of hair loss. Already after the first month of using the tincture, the loss decreases by 50-70%, and the growth increases three times. Red pepper warms the scalp well, thereby increasing blood circulation, due to which the hair follicles are activated.

Pepper spray should be applied exclusively to the roots, as it contains alcohol, which dries out the hair. It is recommended to use this product 1-2 times a week. There are a lot of application methods, but here, I think, a regular spray bottle will be the best assistant. When spraying liquid, close your eyes and do not take deep breaths. Then wrap your hair in cellophane and wrap it in a towel, leave for 1-1.5 hours. The price for pepper starts from 12 rubles.

4. Brewer's yeast for hair, skin and nails (tablets)

Another popular product among girls, which not only strengthens hair, but also, due to its composition rich in B vitamins, will improve the condition of the skin and nails. Yeast is usually taken in a course of 1 to 2 months, 3-5 tablets with meals.

Due to the fact that taking the drug helps remove toxins from the body, small rashes may appear on the skin. But don’t worry, they will stop in a few days and the skin will take on a more well-groomed and healthy appearance. After one course of treatment, the growth rate of hair and nails doubles. One package of these vitamins will cost 100-150 rubles.

5. Perfectile

Not every girl knows these miraculous vitamins. They are the secret to the beauty of many models and were originally created just for them. At the moment, Perfectil is an official drug in many modeling agencies, the use of which is mandatory among fashion models. These vitamins perfectly restore complexion, hair and nails health, acting from the inside. They should be taken one capsule during or after meals for one month.

A positive result from Perfectil is observed after two weeks of continuous use. Hair and nails begin to grow faster, become stronger and look healthier. Acne, inflammation and dry skin disappear. In terms of cost, this drug is not as affordable as the above-mentioned products; its price starts from 550 rubles.

6. Horsepower

A line of hair products that only the lazy have never heard of. But today we will only talk about shampoo for hair growth from this brand. Here the reviews from the ladies are very contradictory, since it is not suitable for everyone.

The worse the condition of the hair, the better the effect of the shampoo will be, so if you have fairly healthy hair, then this product is most likely not for you. Thanks to lanolin and collagen contained in this product, lifeless and damaged hair will gain healthy shine, volume and well-groomed condition.

Also, many note thickening and smoothness of the hair after use. The price, however, is quite high for shampoo and starts from 550 rubles.

It’s up to you to decide which product you choose, but don’t forget about the most important sources of beauty, which are proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.

Well-groomed hair makes both women and men more attractive. But frequent stress, poor nutrition, illness and many other factors have a detrimental effect on their condition. For better hair growth on the head, special tablets are used. They will help strengthen and enhance hair growth.

Hair growth enhancement tablets are drugs that improve the health of hair and hair follicles.
