TikTok is practically overflowing with DIY hacks for your hair. From rice water rinses to something called hair dusting (yep, we had to Google it too), it seems every day there’s something new lighting up the For You Page.
But while social media trends come as fast they go, research1 shows that eating a balanced diet is the mainstay that can play a major role in how your hair looks.
So if you’re going through a busy period or you’re struggling to maintain a balanced diet and your strands are feeling a bit unloved, a targeted beauty supplement could be the helping hand they need. Below, we’ve rounded up our favourite hair-supporting vitamins and why they’re worth the shelf space.
These pineapple-flavoured gummies are your shortcut to strong hair. Sweet, chewy and far more enjoyable than swallowing capsules, think of them like beauty support in one tasty bite.
Each squishy serving is packed with hair-loving biotin, antioxidant-rich selenium and zinc that helps support your hair. Did you know losing up to 100 strands a day2 is normal? Together, these ingredients help keep your hair strong.
Backed by over 25 years of research and seven clinical studies, this twice-daily supplement is also powered by the aforementioned AminoMar C™, plus zinc, vitamin C, silica and flaxseed to maintain normal hair. Zinc3 is here to support your normal hair growth, which makes it a great option for anyone needing a little support.
Simply take two tablets daily, try one in the morning and one in the evening with water after you’ve eaten. They suggest taking them for a minimum of three to six months.
Put down the homemade rosemary oil for your hair and try these pastilles instead.
Packed with biotin, copper and zinc, these easy-to-chew tablets are designed to help you achieve an Insta-worthy mane, all while tasting good. With a yummy strawberry and blackcurrant flavour, they’re easy to pop into your bag and take while on the go – no water necessary.
If you’re not too sure what's missing in your diet, a beauty-focussed multi-vitamin can be a handy way to top up your nutrition. These chewable gummies come in a delicious mixed berry flavour that makes getting your daily vitamins feel like a mini treat.
Each one packs a punch with 21 vitamins and minerals, including amino acids, grape seed extract, horsetail extract and Co-Q10, plus the usual heavy-hitters like zinc, selenium and copper. And the fact they’re only nine calories per gummy is just an added bonus.
We all know the secret to great hair is eating a balanced, nutrient-rich diet. But let’s be real, when life’s hectic, lunch is more likely a supermarket meal deal than a macro-packed nourish bowl.
As well as all the essential vitamins and minerals, these capsules have a high dose of the mineral copper, which works to support normal hair pigmentation.4
If you’re vegan, you’ll know that getting the right nutrients for hair can be a little trickier, especially when it comes to the vitamins and minerals that support hair health like biotin, vitamin B12 and iron.
These chewable gummies contain no icky flavours here either – just juicy, appley goodness that fans of chewy sweets will love.
Covering all your beauty bases, these handy capsules support your body’s natural production of collagen that’s here to support not only your hair, but your skin too.
With extra TLC for your hair, they also include a trifecta of key health vitamins: zinc, vitamin C and copper which support your hair, skin and nails. And as an added bonus, they’re also sugar, salt and starch-free.
The final say
Whatever your diet, there’s a supplement to help you on your quest for glossy, healthy locks.
