Let's investigatevitamins for hair. Which ones play the heroes, and what foods or supplements should you prioritize to regainfairytale-like hair!
What does your hair need to be naturally beautiful?

From there, a matrix, filled withkeratin, is produced, forming the hair shaft of your hair. 🎬To learn more, watch the video! To keep them beautiful and healthy, it's up to us to play. And for that, we simply need to:
Fight against external aggressions
When a hair falls out, another grows back; our genes and hormones govern this growth cycle. But despite these immutable factors, we can act by protecting them from external aggressions like heat, UV rays, and stress.
Ah, the latter, a nasty disruptor, can cause dreaded hair loss by affecting the growth phase and altering the keratin protein, making our hair more fragile.
Provide the right nutrients
Our hair is composed of 90% proteins, with keratin taking the lead and a touch of melanin for color. They also contain water, lipids, and trace elements. Adequate hydration and a balanced diet will nourish yourhair fibers to give them shine and brightness. And among these nutrients are the true heroes: thevitamins for hair!
