Dear Venugopal, Hair comes in all colors, textures and thicknesses. Thinning hair can be embarrassing to men but even more so to women. Luckily, there are natural ways to help just about any head of hair thicken up. Making sure you get an ample supply of a few essential vitamins can make a big difference in the thickness of your locks. The first and probably most complete step to obtaining thicker hair through vitamin supplements is the prenatal vitamin. While this type of supplement is designed for pregnant women, the nutrients within can increase your hair growth; and taking prenatal vitamins when you're not even pregnant does not negatively affect health. Vitamin E can be taken as a supplement, or it can be found plentifully in wheat germ, almonds, sunflower seeds and peanut butter, among other foods. Vitamin E has been shown to strengthen and thicken hair. This powerful vitamin can also help beautify your skin and promote a healthy overall lifestyle. As with all vitamins, obtaining a supply of vitamin E through foods is best because it is more easily processed by the body, but supplements can boost your intake. Vitamin B12 can also be extremely helpful in thickening and strengthening hair. This vitamin can be found in mollusks, clams, beef and fortified breakfast cereals, as well as in fish like salmon and trout. Most drugstores stock vitamin B12 in supplement form. Also available at many drugstores, and online, are supplements specifically designed to promote healthy hair. While these can be expensive, and gaining vitamins through a balanced diet is usually a better choice than using supplements, some people find that time or other constraints require the use of a vitamin supplement. Always follow directions and suggestions found on the packages to assure healthy and appropriate use.
