Hair Vitamins And Amino Acids

Hair vitamins are not designed to grow hair faster than is genetically possible.  Each human grows hair according to the genetic code they were born with.  As a result, the average person grows hair at a rate of 1/2″ per month.

It doesn’t matter if your hair is naturally straight, wavy, curly or kinky.  The genetic rule applies across the board.

Some rare humans can actually grow hair 1″ or more per month.  These people are definitely the exception to the rule.

Can Hair Vitamins Make Your Hair Grow Faster?

Can hair vitamins make your hair grow faster than your body is genetically programmed to grow?  No.  If you see advertisements for products that promise to make your hair grow faster view it with skepticism.

Your natural hair growth rhythm may be stalled at some point, but hair vitamins by themselves can not speed up your natural hair growth cycles any faster than your genetics will allow.

Most hair vitamins will  support and revive dormant hair follicles to help hair return to natural genetic growth speeds, support and help regrow healthier hair, nourish, stimulate and provide essential nutrients to the roots and hair follicles.

What Hair Vitamins Can Do

Hair vitamins can assist hair, which has completely stalled or stopped in it’s normal growth cycle due to illness, prescription drug side effects, thyroid malfunction, hormonal imbalances, improper nutrition or other hair growth destructive habits.

Those habits might include, but not be limited to, extreme dieting, lack of proper sleep and hydration as well as over consumption of caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, sugar or recreational drugs. Continue reading “Hair Vitamins And Amino Acids” »

He told MODERN “I think Kate is very versatile and can wear many different looks.  We chose this look because the photographer Mario Testino wanted to giver her a very different look.  The fashion in the story was black and white so we decided to go with almost white hair and cut it short and choppy.”

Pita, a celebrity hair consultant on Bravo’s recent season of Shear Genius, also noted the Academy Award winner’s hair on British Vogue was a dramatic departure from her former shoulder length, dirty blonde locks.

Of course transitioning hair color from dirty blonde to stark white was shocking to fans as was the short choppy hair which many questioned.  Did Kate really cut her hair or not?  After all, many celebrities over the years have stunned fans with a drastic new length or color only to confess later to wearing a wear, hair extensions or some other instant hair altering accessory.

Jessica Simpson famously shocked fans a few years ago by showing up at a red carpet event wearing a drastic new red hair hue.

Shortly afterwards her celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves explained he and Simpson had collaborated on her stunning new do by having her wear a new wig from her Jessica Simpson collection.  Simpson also told the media she used powder mascara to camouflage any random blonde roots that might have popped out from the wig.
