Hair vitamins in shampoo
Hair nutrition is an integral part of hair care. And the easiest way to do this is by adding hair vitamins to your shampoo. But in order for such nutrition to be useful, certain rules must be observed, otherwise the curls will receive no benefit, but only harm.
Essential substances for health and beauty
Before you start enriching your usual shampoo with vitamins, you need to find out which vitamins will bring the greatest benefit to curls.
The most important and beneficial for curls are B vitamins. They provide intensive nutrition for both the hair and their roots, as well as the scalp:
- Thiamine, or as it is also called, B1, is responsible for the correct ratio of proteins, carbohydrates and acids in the scalp and the hair itself. That is, this vitamin B is directly responsible for the proper nutrition of the scalp.
- B6 is responsible for the normal functioning of the sebaceous glands, for the correct synthesis of trace elements in the skin, as well as the correct balance of hormones in the body. In case of its shortage, the curls begin to thin out intensively, dandruff and split ends appear.
- B12 is not responsible for hair nutrition, but it is a sufficient amount of this vitamin that allows curls to receive the necessary portion of oxygen regularly.
- B5 or pantothenic acid helps to extend the life of the hair, strengthens its structure and improves the appearance and health of the hair in general.
- Vitamin PP also plays an important role in the nutrition of strands. Its lack is expressed primarily in a sharp and intense hair loss, as well as an increase in their fragility and the appearance of split ends. Therefore, it is very important that the curls receive this top dressing regularly.
- Retinol (A) actively restores damaged strands, and also stimulates the renewal of skin cells.
- Vitamin E or tocopherol, is responsible for the youth and beauty of hair, protects curls from ultraviolet radiation, and also normalizes the water-fat balance of the scalp.
Mixing Rules
If you decide to provide additional nutrition to your curls, then to enrich the substances described above, it is better to use not the usual usual shampoo, but you should purchase a special soap base. If this is not possible, then preference should be given to cleaning detergents with a minimum amount of additives and not containing any vitamin complexes. An excess of these beneficial substances can affect the hair as negatively as their lack.
At the same time, the components described earlier should be added to the shampoo bottle itself or to a small amount in the palm of your hand. Where exactly these substances are added depends on the goal pursued. Some types of vitamins quickly lose their benefits when exposed to air.
When making such a fortified shampoo at home, you should definitely take into account the compatibility of the vitamins that make up its composition with each other. It is not recommended to combine vitamin C and your favorite substances from group B. B12 and C, B3, E, B1 are poorly combined.Experts also do not recommend combining B1 with other vitamins from this group, except for B12.
All other previously described vitamins are perfectly combined with each other. But before you start enriching the shampoo with them, you need to consult a doctor. It is he who will help you choose the right complex, indicate the correct dosage, and also be able to determine if there is an excess of any vitamin in the body to avoid unpleasant side effects.
It is best to purchase such supplements in pharmacies in special glass ampoules or in the form of oil capsules. Be sure to remember that open packaging is not subject to storage, however, as well as enriched shampoo. In addition, there are ampoules on sale containing one substance or a whole vitamin complex at once, which allows you to save time and energy on making the right complex of vitamin supplements in shampoo.

It is imperative to re-apply it, only in this case the foam is kept on the head and strands for three or five minutes, and then washed off with cool water.
- In order to stop sudden hair loss, as well as get rid of itching of the scalp, it is necessary to purchase supplements such as lidocaine, thiamine, soda, water, pyridoxine, sodium and cyanocobalamin. One ampoule of each substance must be added to a 500 ml shampoo container. You can do it even easier and immediately purchase a whole complex of a similar additive called "Combilipen". In this case, 3 ampoules are spent on a similar amount of detergent for curls.
- To speed up the growth of strands, vitamins B12, B6 and B1 are added to the shampoo. At the same time, they should have the same proportions, that is, each substance is taken in one ampoule of the same capacity. This amount of additive is calculated on 250 grams of shampoo.
