When it comes to growing and maintaining healthy hair, it start from within. Good cellular growth is important for helping grow curls, and in order for that to work effectively, your body needs to be healthy as well. Therefore, many curly girls consider adding supplements to help make sure all their nutrient requirements are being met. Of course, any change to diet, exercise, or inclusion of supplements in one’s diet should be discussed with one’s healthcare provider. That being said, here are some supplements to help with curl growth. If you have any you’d recommend, make sure to drop us a comment and let us know.
Supplements to help with curl growth
Daily vitamins:
Consider adding a daily vitamin into your daily regimen. Whether or not you’re trying to grow out your curls, vitamins are great for helping maintain your overall health and wellbeing. If you aren’t eating enough fruits and veggies, (which many of us aren’t!) this can help make sure your strands are getting all they need to grow healthily, and your body is powered as it should be. Make sure to seek out a vitamin that contains the following:
- Vitamin D
- Magnesium
- Calcium
- Zinc
- Iron
- Folate
- Vitamin B12
Probiotics:
Having a healthy gut is critical for your overall health and wellbeing. Probiotics can help increase curl growth by helping keep pathogens that might limit curl growth out of your blood. Now that sounds like a health warrior we’d all like to have on our side, doesn’t it? When your blood is healthy, the other cells in your body can be healthier, which means better curl growth overall.
Collagen:
Odds are, you’ve probably seen some information about collagen floating around out there. It’s having a serious moment in the health and wellness community, and it’s not hard to see why. There are a lot of overall health benefits to using collagen, but one especially is that it helps foster healthy hair. For those seeking to grow out healthy curls, collagen might be part of the solution. According to blogger Colleen Charney, “Collagen replenishes amino acids that are the building blocks to your hair strands, helps fight damage to hair follicles, and may prevent hair thinning.” So don’t hesitate to add that to your routine.
