When it comes to amazing, healthy, strong, shiny hair, it is really all about that B family! B vitamins are the key to luscious locks for sure, so here’s what you need to know.

There are a bunch of different B vitamins, like niacin, pantothenic acid, folic acid, B6 and B12 and it is key to make sure to eat all of them, because they work together to stimulate hair follicles to grow healthy hair. Research has shown that B vitamins play a role in a reducing hair loss and decreasing grey hair growth.   Aim to get your B vitamins from foods, instead of supplements, by eating more: quinoa, oatmeal, brown rice, strawberries, dark leafy greens, chicken, and salmon.

Biotin is another B vitamin, but it gets special attention for its role in stimulating new cells and re-growing lost hair. Again, you want to make sure you are getting this from your diet, instead of supplementation alone, so make sure to increase your intake of nuts, eggs, whole grains, swiss chard, and halibut.
