Vitamin B7 or B8 for thick, beautiful hair
Vitamin B7 is also known as biotin. In fact, this is a misnomer for vitamin B8, in other words, it refers to one and the same vitamin: B8.
Among other things, this vitamin is involved in maintaining the normal functioning of the skin, and more specifically nails and hair. A sufficient intake of vitamin B8 helps maintain healthy hair, giving it a beautiful texture and bringing out its natural color. It also optimizes hair growth and suppleness.
Vitamin B8 is found in many foods, including oranges, bananas, nuts, egg yolks, grains, cereals, beef liver and sardines.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin which, unlike vitamin B8, is not produced by the body. It has many benefits for the body, including boosting the effect of other vitamins and stimulating keratin production. Its action strengthens the hair fiber and ensures its resistance to various external aggressions. This vitamin is therefore ideal for protecting hair against breakage.
