A few years ago I had bald spots in my head from my hair falling out due to stress. My hair was falling out in handfuls anytime I brushed it, washed it, or even ran my fingers through it. Over the years I have tried many things. You need to read the ingredients on the hair and nail vitamins, find out what all it has in it. If it does not have MSM in it, you can add it, if it has it I would just leave it. As far as taking it with a regular multi, again read the ingredients find out what both the multi and the hair vitamins have that are the same and be sure you would not be overdosing on them when taking both, you can look up online the amounts that would be overdosing online. Now if the hair vitamin doesn't have it I recommend also taking horse tail and biotin, I get mine from swanson vitamins. As far as shampoos and conditioners, I have tried them all for hair thickening, regrowing, etc. I have tried every salon product there is for it. But surprisingly the best products I've found were much cheaper. I go between a few different ones now, switching up whenever one runs out. I like Main n Tail, use both the shampoo and conditioner, it's made for horses but worked wonders on my hair. I also sometimes use Patiene Pro V Full and Thick. And currently I'm using Loreal Pro Vive for medium to long hair that is damaged, I use the shampoo and conditioner and I also use the Loreal EverPure (it's a sulfate free one) hair masque, I use this 1-2 times per week.
My bald spots are filled in though my hair is not as thick as it use to be, it's getting there. I had my hair cut to my chin last year during August, it's now April and my hair is mid back. The horsetail and biotin make your hair grow like crazy. I also take a multi vitamin daily, I use centrum. Other than that I take flaxseed oil (mainly for heart health but it's said to aid in NBE also), I take collagen 1 and 3 tablets, they are said to help with hair, skin and nails, I have taken them for years now. And the other things I take are for NBE or sexual health. I take also maca (sexual health), Ultra Breast (bo supplement for NBE), and kelp to aid in my temp for the BO. I don't believe the maca, BO and kelp help with my hair, but believe the other supplements do.
Now my hair falls out at a normal rate, when I take a shower now maybe 5 strands at most I'd say, before it was hundreds! I have naturally curly/wavy hair that tends to frizz, the shampoos and conditioners I mentioned help my hair be less frizzy. I've also heard that the things these ladies mentioned help like olive oil, coconut oil, etc. I have never personally used them but may in the future. I also heard caster oil helps, and that magic stuff, forget the name of it, I think egyptian magic? I have some of it but I use it on stretch marks and other scares. It's said to help many things including hair. I'm now growing my hair long so we'll see how well these supplements do. So far so good though, I'm gonna grow mine to a lil past mid back hopefully and grow out my layers.
