Here are Vitamins for hair loss:





1. inositol can help prevent the hair from falling.





2.Niacin (vitamin B-3) can promote the blood circulation to the scalp and hence make hair healthy.





3. Panthenol (vitamin B-5) can prevent hair loss and also aids with your hair regrowth.





4. Biotin helps in preventing the hair from premature graying and is also does a great deal to help keep hair from falling out.





5. Vitamins B-6 and B-12 will make hair roots stronger.





6. Vitamin E is also believed to aid in helping to prevent hair loss. This is because it is an antioxidant that stimulates the scalp as it increases the blood circulation.





7. Vitamin A is essential for over-all good health and moreover, it is also very useful to hair follicles, as it keeps the hair root firmer and stronger.





8. Vitamin C is equally good for hair.How can I stop hair loss?
There are several sources to investigate specific shampoos, research studies which can be accessed to determine the effectiveness of many of these products. Good professional sources include dermatologists and licensed cosmeticians who see hair loss conditions frequently and have had the opportunity to observe the efficacy of a variety of shampoos.


As well, an Internet “Google” search will provide hundreds of products; complete with testimony and small research studies. It’s easy to get confused when investigating the hundreds of shampoos available.


With some background knowledge of what has shown to be effective in larger, previous studies, however, you can make more intelligent choices about the shampoos you choose for experimentation. And that is the great thing about shampoos – they are relatively inexpensive in this maze of hair loss/re growth methods, so you can try lots of them without breaking your budget!1.


Surfactants: People feel good when their shampoos lather up nicely. Lather, however, is just for psychological effect. Somehow we believe that the more lather a shampoo produces, the cleaner our hair must be getting. Hogwash! The ingredient that causes lather is calling a surfactant and does not have cleaning properties. Other ingredients in shampoos actually do the cleaning.


] Surfactants are, however, pretty harsh, and, for someone who is experiencing more-than-normal hair loss, surfactants should be avoided.





There are lots of shampoos out there without it – try some


.2. Herbal Ingredients: The most notable herb with some success in hair loss difficulty is Saw Palmetto. Shampoos with this ingredient are certainly worth a try. Saw Palmetto seems to inhibit the production of DHT in men, for example, and DHT causes hair follicles to shrink and close up.


3. Nettle and bay have also been helpful to some people. Shampoos which include these might help you too.





4. Essential Oils: These oils are concentrated ones which come from plants such as lavender. From ancient times, these have been used to stimulate healthy hair and to decrease the rate of hair loss. We know that we have much to learn from early medicine men and healers. Perhaps this is another example.





5. Tea Tree Oil: Many swear by this ingredient, and there are several brands of this on the market. So popular are these shampoos, you can find them at most any drug store as well as health product retailers. As an aside, tea tree oil has also been found to be effective in the prevention of head lice infestations. There are no definitive studies to show that shampoos can actually result in re growth of hair that is caused by what we all “permanent” conditions, largely the result of heredity and hormones. However, early prevention is important, and experimenting with shampoos during these early stages may provide invaluable help in reducing the rate of loss
