Write down a list of your common daily foods and check to make sure your diet consists of these 5 vitamins*. Here are the 5 dietary vitamins* that your hair needs to succeed!

1. Biotin*

We have all heard of this vitamin, if not from our hairdresser then definitely from this blog. But what exactly is biotin and why does our hair need it? Biotin is also known as Vitamin H, and is a co-enzyme, which basically means that it makes the things our body needs by producing other enzymes.

One important thing it produces is fatty acids, which naturally moisturizes our hair, and without it, no amount of additives could keep our hair moisturized.

Biotin can also increase hair elasticity and produce keratin, which is what our hair is made of. Foods containing biotin* include nuts, dairy, eggs, and leafy green vegetables.
