What vitamins should be taken, added to shampoo if hair loss occurs in women?
- Vitamin A (retinol) is a fat-soluble vitamin that stimulates cell growth and development, provides antioxidant protection, and is responsible for visual acuity, youthful skin, health and beauty of hair. One of the first signs of its deficiency in the body is early aging of the epidermis and dandruff. Synthetic vitamin A is available from pharmacies in the form of retinol acetate, which can be
- taken internally;
- apply to roots and split ends;
- vitamin A can be: taken orally; applied to roots and split ends; added to masks, conditioners and shampoos.
A 2ml ampoule of Vitamin A + Retinol concentrate from German brand Klapp costs 204 roubles.
- Vitamin E (tocopherol) as a powerful antioxidant fights free radicals and is responsible for improving overall health. Apart from its primary function of protecting the body from the harmful effects of external factors, vitamin E also protects the skin from drying out, improves circulation, and enhances the density of hair. A good way to care for your hair is to apply a mixture of plant oils and tocopherol solution once or twice a week, an hour before washing, to the entire length of your locks.
A pack of 5 Vitamin E ampoules (Erevit 300) of 1 ml can be purchased at the pharmacy for 1,150 roubles.
Attention! You will buy oil-based solutions of retinol acetate and tocopherol acetate cheaper for hair care. A 50 ml bottle will cost under 90 roubles.
- Liquid vitamin C is responsible for the production of collagen, the fibrillar protein that makes up the bulk of all connective tissue. Consumption of vitamin C orally and its liquid form, as a rinse, added to shampoo or even bleached hair, helps build a protective collagen layer on the surface of the hair, as well as:
- increases the volume of the hair;
- accelerates its growth;
- gives elasticity and shine.
The average price of ten 2 ml ampoules of 10% ascorbic acid solution will not exceed 50 roubles.
- Vitamin B1 (thiamine) plays an important role in metabolism and formation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It provides hair follicles with necessary energy, and hairs become thick and have strength and shine. B1 cannot be stored and therefore needs to be continuously replenished. The thiamine is best used in combination with essential oils to create nourishing masks, which should be left on the hair for 15-20 minutes, wrapped in a towel.
Reference. All B vitamins are water-soluble substances and, acting as coenzymes, convert proteins and carbohydrates into energy.
ten 1 ml ampoules of 5% thiamine chloride solution for injection can be bought at a pharmacy for 30 roubles.
- Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) participates in the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates and is necessary for the growth and regeneration of tissues. The health of skin, nails and hair depends on it. It is a good idea to add B2 to a firming mask or a ready-to-use shampoo.
Important: Riboflavin should be added to homemade cosmetics immediately before use, as it loses its useful properties when exposed to sunlight.
A pack of Riboflavin Mononucleotide (10 ampoules of 1 ml) can be purchased for no more than 150 rubles.
- Vitamin B3 (PP, niacin) is an essential component of enzymes which ensure cellular respiration. Dry and pale skin is the first sign of its deficiency. Niacin is added to wet hair while massaging it in. The vitamin should be absorbed into the epidermis and travel through the capillaries to each of the bulbs, activating dormant ones and removing toxins from the active ones
The average price for 10 one-ml ampoules of nicotinic acid is 67 roubles.
- Vitamin B5, or pantothenic acid, is responsible for cellular renewal, and its deficiency has a direct impact on impaired hair structure, hair breakage and hair loss. B5 is well-absorbed by the skin, so it is best used in home masks.
The average price of 10 ampoules of calcium pantothenate solution for injection is 300 roubles.
- Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) ensures normal functioning of most enzymatic systems and is responsible for the synthesis of nucleic acids that support immunity and prevent ageing. B6 is involved in the production of keratin, the building material for the hair shaft, and its deficiency increases dryness of the scalp, dermatitis and dandruff. Pyridoxine is used in repairing masks for damaged or oily hair.
The cost of 10 ampoules of 1 ml of pyridoxine solution is no more than 40 roubles.
- Vitamin B12. Deficiency of cobalamin, a substance important for blood cell formation and DNA synthesis, becomes most pronounced as the body ages. B12 is responsible for:
- regeneration of the scalp;
- follicle health;
- growth of strands.
Cobalamin can be used all the time when washing your head by adding a few drops to a balm or shampoo.
The average price of cyanocobalamin (10 ampoules of 1 ml) is 25 roubles.
- Vitamin D is a fat-soluble substance called the “sunshine vitamin”, which is responsible for mineral balance in the body. As an ingredient, it is present in most recipes for homemade masks to nourish the scalp and give curls strength and elasticity.

Tried to stop hair loss with balms, burdock oil, herbal decoctions, but in vain. Advised ampoules with B1, B6, B12, PP and aloe extract. After three weekly procedures of applying the formula to the washed hair, a miracle happened – my hair almost completely stopped falling out. I found it to be very effective.
