The Best Hair Growth Vitamins For Luscious Locks

Be patient: results can take three to six months—and you’ll need to keep taking it to maintain your new hair growth.

There's a reason you'll find these strand-strengthening tablets in the possession of star stylists and A-list celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Gwyneth Paltrow: the natural blend of deep-sea fish proteins, horsetail extract, and vitamin C prevent the dry, frazzled ends that force you to chop your length off too soon.

We also love that it's organic, allergen-free, housed in a glass bottle, and it's Black-owned.  

These vegan gummies can be found on your next Target run, proving that you don't need to spend a small fortune on vitamins.

Plus, we love that the bottle is made from recycled plastic.

These gluten-free, vegan chews promote stronger hair that can grow longer and maintain its color better, when consumed twice daily. The usual suspects (biotin, folic acid) make an appearance in these berry-flavored gummies, but it's the PABA (which can reportedly fight grays by boosting hair's natural pigmentation) and fo-ti (a hair-strengthening root from traditional Chinese medicine) that really make it stand out. Hum tops BestProducts.com's list, as well, for using sustainably sourced ingredients.

This new hair supplement from everyone's favorite collagen brand will help you grow longer, stronger hair in as little as two weeks.

This supplement from hairstylist to the stars Jen Atkin combines traditional vitamins and minerals (omegas, biotin, vitamin C and vitamin b12, among many others) with ashwagandha and MSM to reduce cortisol and increase hair growth.

The combination of a high dose of biotin with silicone dioxide and l-cysteine helps strengthen hair, skin and nails so they're less prone to breakage and therefore grow longer. Take the pills once a day for at least a few months to notice results.

Two crazy-delicious gummies a day can help improve the look of skin, nails, by dosing your system with protein metabolizing biotin, keratin, and vitamins C and E.
