Prenatal
Vitamins and Hair Growth
Prenatal vitamins are often associated
wtih hair growth because many women's hair will grow much longer while
they are pregnant. However, soon after the baby is born, their hair
will return to normal or begin to shed more than usual. Prenatal vitamins
are packed with many nutrients that are beneficial for hair growth,
however, this drastic change in growth patterns is not completely
due to the vitamins.
When a woman becomes pregnant, her body
produces more estrogen than usual. This estrogen rich environment
locks the hair into the growth phase allowing the hair to grow much
longer. After delivery, these hormones gradually return to their pre-pregnancy
state and the hairs start going into the resting and shedding phases
of the hair growth cycle.
The hair growth cycle is made of three
phases: growing, resting, and shedding. Each and every one of the
100,000 hair follicles on your head go though these three phases.
At any given time about 90% of your hair is in the growth phase. However,
growth phases can vary from 2 to 6 years and are gentically determined.
A person who's hair grows for 6 years before entering the shedding
phase will grow hair 3 times as long as someone who's hair grows for
only 2 years before entering the shedding phase.
When pregnant, all of the hairs that
would have normally entered into the shedding phase are locked into
the growth phase. This makes hair grow longer and fuller.
So other than pregnancy and genetics,
what can I do to get longer faster growing hair? Hair Vitamins with
MSM can also be used to get faster hair growth. Methylsolfonylmethane,
or MSM, is a natural form of organic sulfonyl sulfur. It is found
in many foods, especially most raw fruits and green vegetables. MSM
provides sulfur that is required for healthy collagen and keratin.
These are very important for healthy hair. MSM repairs and creates
healthy cells thus allowing hair to grow more rapidly and achieve
greater lengths. It has been proven to increase the hair growth cycle
and therefore overall length. MSM is not present in prenatal vitamins.
