When I first went natural in my mid-twenties, I noticed that my edges had started to look thin. I think it was due to wearing headbands all the time and pulling my hair back because I honestly didn’t know what to do with my new natural tresses. I did some research and decided I would try taking a vitamin B-complex pill and using hair products with B vitamins. I noticed that it had doubled my growth in a little over 6 weeks. B-complex supplement pills usually contain all eight B vitamins and have been linked to help relieve stress, boost brain performance, and fight anxiety. Check out some of the benefits and some products that have worked well for me…

The 411 on Vitamin B:

B1 THIAMINE: Plays an important role converting nutrients into energy (wheat germ/sunflower seeds).
B2 RIBOFLAVIN: Also converts food into energy but has antioxidant properties (mushrooms/beef).
B3 NIACIN: Helps with metabolism and DNA repair (chicken/lentils).
B5 PANTOTHENIC ACID: Helps with cholesterol production (fish/avocado).
B6 PYRIDOXINE: Involved in red blood cell production and creating neurotransmitters. (Chickpeas/potatoes).
B7 BIOTIN: Important for metabolism and regulating gene expression. (Eggs/cheese.)
B9 FOLATE: Helps with cell growth, amino acid, metabolism (Green leafy veggies)
B12 COBALAMIN: Essential for neurological function and DNA production. (meat/eggs/dairy)
