Step 1: Take Vitamins: Best Vitamins to Grow Long African American Hair.
Take a B-complex Vitamin: Vitamins function as catalysts for reactions within the body, controlling the processes of tissue synthesis and aiding in the protection of cells' plasma membranes. Thus, vitamins can be a vital component to growing longer hair. Buy a B-complex vitamin, which consists of eight different vitamins, specifically thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), piroxidine (B6), folic acid (B9), cyanocobalamin (B12), and biotin. All of these vitamins, especially Biotin and Pantothenic Acid, will help your hair to grow faster.

Take Vitamin C: Vitamin C is responsible for the development of healthy collagen, which is necessary to hold body tissues together. A vitamin C deficiency can cause split ends and hair breakage, yet this is easily reversible by increasing your normal vitamin C intake levels. If you do not want to take vitamin C, eat foods such as fresh peppers, citrus fruits, melons, berries, potatoes, tomatoes, and dark green leafy vegetables. All are rich in vitamin C.

Take Vitamin E: In order for your hair to grow, your scalp will need to be in top condition. Vitamin E is necessary to provide good blood circulation to the scalp and creates the perfect condition for healthy hair.

Here are some other goods vitamins that you may want to try: Beta-Carotene, Magnesium, Sulfur, Zinc, Silica, and Flaxseed oil. You do not need to take them all to meet your hair growth goals or to combat hair loss. Many multivitamins have these minerals.
