Vitamins developed for thicker hair add amino acids that help "plump" the follicle shaft while providing essential vitamins and minerals necessary for normal growth.
Why So Thin?
Vitamins And Health
Thin hair is usually the result of lack of hydration or vital nutrients. Though heredity plays its' part, low moisture levels contribute extensively to thinness, limp or fine locks. Likewise, nutritional deficiencies play a long-term role in adding volume and body.
The follicle shaft is formed by protein bonds. These proteins are created and developed by conversion of amino acids. Therefore, amino acids and several important vitamins, over time, result in the quality of tensile strength, shine and thickness.
How to Increase Thickness?
Hair vitamins and many shampoos are formulated to infuse or topically apply nutrition and amino acids. Shampoos with rice, wheat or corn proteins provide variable molecular weight proteins that address several critical needs.
Variable weight proteins mean two important things for hair growth and health (read thickness). One, those with smaller molecular weight penetrate the follicle shaft and reach down into the cortex of the hair. These provide the "thickening" properties while adding nutrition, increasing moisture levels and adding strength.
Larger weight proteins are needed for shine and strength. They act upon the external protein bonds helping make the shaft stronger and adding luxurious shine. Just as many pet owners feed specific products to their pets for a cleaner, shinier coat, thus it is with protein-based shampoos, conditioners and vitamins. The results include improved body and thickness, increased shine and silkiness, as well as protection from damage and increased strength.
Vitamins for thicker hair are a dietary supplement that adds targeted nutrition through the blood stream. Vitamins B-12, E, Niacin, and Biotin have been shown to increase volume and shine, and a full-complex of amino acids and chlorophyll supplements tighten and increase bonding of protein connections.
The long-term results are similar to other supplements such as Omega 3's. Consistent, dedicate use show improved results in just a few months. Hair thickens, increases shine and is less susceptible to breaking, damage and split ends.
