Proteins For Hair Growth

Question: can white hair again take the shape of black hair just merely by eating proteins? friends ,please do consult from a doctor and which kind of proteins are best for hair growth.

Answer: I've never heard of protein consumption changing the color of one's hair (naturally)...just old age (from dark to grey). Your hair grows at a preprogrammed rate, but a healthy diet will assist in keeping the hair healthy so it grows at it's max rate and doesn't break easily. Also using quality haircare products helps with that as well.

Question: Is soy protein or whey protein better for hair growth? I know that protein is good for hair growth but which one would be better? I bought the soy on accident...if I mix it with an egg will that help??

Answer: Protein is protein wherever it came from. It's the intake amount that matter. Intake amount of protein per day depends on gender, age and or activity but two servings per day will be sufficient supply to sustain whatever your purpose. I take a shot (one serving) of soy or whey with egg in the morning for my protein supplement. If your stomach can handle that (soy + egg mix?), why not? Non animal protein is the best source of protein just because less fat and cholesterol free!

Question: Name the food which contains only proteins or more amount of proteins?(This question is for faster hair growth

Answer: eggs, fish

Question: Will eating vegeterian friendly foods high in protein help increase hair growth? I had a hair disaster incident back on memmorial day where the walmart people messed up my hair and the only way to fix it was to get it shaved. [i would never shave my hair on my own will or whatever] [i usually also always go ot a hair salon except that one time i wanted my bangs cut cause they were long and irritating me and i couldn't wait till the next day] [oh and yeah i learnt my lesson to wait and never go to walmart to get my hair cut] ok so anyways now that you know the story background. i'm a vegeterian and i have been eating foods high in protein like vegeterian brown beans, black beans, peanut butter, wheat bread, veggie bacon [meatless tofu bacon], veggie corn dogs [meatless tofu corn dogs], and etc..... I was wondering if eating these foods would help increase the growth process of my hair. My hair grows fast anyways but I was wondering if eating these foods would help make my hair grow faster since protein is good for your hair or whatever. thanks! xD

Answer: it sure will. :] i eat lots of peanut butter and that not only helps it grow, but protein makes the hair much shinier. also, massage your scalp for a few minutes a day. by doing this, you're lossening up the roots and this will help it grow faster.

Question: I want advice on the best protein and healthy diet for improving hair growth.? Does anyone know the best foods for healthy hair growth. I read that healthy hair comes from the inside out, a healthy diet of protein, fresh fruits and vegetables etc. Does anyone have any other tips for growing healthy hair? Do prenatal vitamins really work for growing healthy hair?

Answer: Normal hair growth is 1/2 inch per month. You can keep your hair healthy and increase growth to 3/4 inch per month by: taking vitamins (yes, prenatal are great) scalp massage wear you hair up (it protects it from the environment) get it trimmed on a regular basis (no trims lead to ratty ends and lots of splitting/breakage) use a satin pillowcase use a boar bristle brush do final rinse with distilled water do not shampoo daily - shampoo only when necessary avoid metal hair accessories do not brush or comb hair when damp don't allow your hair to get caught under you purse strap, coat collars, etc. if it is windy, restrain your hair (prevents knotting which leads to breaking and splitting) apply shampoo only to scalp and roots, when you rinse, it will clean balance of hair without drying it out -never pile your hair on your head when shampooing leave it hang always condition but only apply to hair length...not scalp or roots (ears down is best) leave in conditioners provide the most protection after washing you hair, wrap in towel but do not rub hair with towel if possible, avoid heat appliances: blow dryer, flat irons, etc. - if not, limit exposure apply extra virgin olive oil to hair...just put a small drop on your hands, rub hands together and then apply to ends only follow a healthy diet involving all food groups

Question: which vitamin is good for hair growth? am suffering from hair fall and i need a proper diet to control this.please give me a good answer.please help me...vitamin or protein ?which one is good for hair growth?

Answer: Hair Loss, Baldness Nutrition/Vitamins Hair loss occurs when the diet is inadequate in the B vitamins - especially B6, biotin, inositol and folic acid; and the minerals magnesium, sulfur and zinc. The B vitamins, especially B5 (pantothenic acid and B3 (niacin), are especially important for hair growth. Certain essential amino acids are found to control the thinning and thickening of hair in laboratory animals. For example, when rats were fed a diet deficient in magnesium, they lost their hair in bunches. The situation was even more serious with some other B-vitamins. When rats were fed a diet low in biotin or inositol, they became hairless! This nutrient-deficient condition was found to be reversible. When the rats were fed a diet that was rich in B vitamins, it resulted in the complete restoration of hair. Heavy intake of vitamin supplements, in some cases, have resulted in stimulating hair growth. Men deficient in vitamin B6 often lose their hair. When they are deficient in folic acid, some men became completely bald! As in case of animals, when normal intake of theses vitamins were restored, the hair also returned in most instances. Taking large doses of vitamin A (100,000 IU or more daily) for a long period of time, on the other hand, can trigger hair loss, but stopping the vitamin A will reverse the problem. As in case of deficiencies, often the hair grows back when the cause is corrected. Essential fatty acids (flaxseed oil, primrose oil, and salmon oil are good sources) improves hair texture. Prevents dry, brittle hair. Raw thymus glandular stimulates immune function and improves functioning capacity of glands. Dosage: 500 mg daily. Caution: Do not give this supplement to a child. B-Vitamins B vitamins are important for the health and growth of the hair. Foods rich in B vitamins include beans, peas, carrots, cauliflower, soy beans, nutritional yeast, bran, nuts and eggs. Take a vitamin B-complex and supplement it with the following additional B-vitamins for best results. Vitamin B3 (niacin) - 50 mg 3 times daily. Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) -100 mg 3 times daily. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) -50 mg 3 times daily. Biotin Biotin is very important for hair health. It is needed for healthy hair and skin, and may even prevent hair loss in some men. Eat plenty of foods high in biotin and/ or take it in supplemental form. Good food sources of biotin include brewer's yeast, brown rice, bulgur, green peas, lentils, oats, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and walnuts. You can also use hair care products containing biotin. Dosage: 50 mg 3 times daily. Inositol Inositol is vital for hair growth. Dosage: 100 mg twice daily. Vitamin C Vitamin C aids in improving scalp circulation. It is important to maintain capillaries that carry blood to the follicles. Dosage: 3,000-10,000 mg daily. Vitamin E Vitamin E increases oxygen uptake, which improves circulation to the scalp. It improves health and growth of hair. Since hair health is tied to the immune health, vitamin E is believed to stimulate hair growth by enhancing the immune function. Dosage: Start with 400 IU daily and slowly increase to 800-1,000 IU daily. Zinc Zinc stimulates hair growth by enhancing immune function. Dosage: 50-100 mg daily. Do not exceed this amount. Other Nutrients That May Help Hair Health Coenzyme Q10 - Improves scalp circulation. Increases tissue oxygenation. It is also very important for heart health. Take 60 mg daily. L-Cysteine and L-methionine Two amino acids belived to improve quality, texture, and growth of hair. They help prevent hair from falling out. Dosage: 500 mg each twice daily, and on an empty stomach. or u can also visit this site http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip214.htm

Answer: 1) STOP bleaching your hair. 2) Straighten it as LITTLE as is humanly possible. Make friends with pony tails and hairspray. Also, make sure you get it trimmed regularly. I was in the same spot, and I started using Garnier Length and Strength Shampoo/Conditioner, and it actually did work. My hair grows a bit faster now and is alot softer and healthier. You could also try taking prenatal vitamins, they help hair grow faster and healthier too.

Question: Hair growth tips for trichotillomaniacs? I suffer from trichotillomania, an anxiety disorder that causes me to pull out my hair. I am considering going to therapy for it, perhaps looking into hypnosis. Is there a way to accelerate hair growth in hair that has been pulled from the root? High protein diet and taking your vitamins is a good way, but does anyone know of any tried-and-true shampoos/conditioners/treatments that accelerate hair growth? I want my bald spots to go away, and the quicker the better. It should be noted that my hair, before I pulled it, was long, thick, and grew naturally fast. It was very healthy and beautiful. I don't want "long hair for prom" or any of that. My hair is ruining my confidence. Any hair growth tips?

Answer: The best thing to do is to get it braided, or wear a wig for a few weeks. This will allow your hair to grow without you picking at it. I don't know of any diets that will make hair grow faster. good luck

Question: I am taking a biotin vitamins since one month ago is this good for hair growth? I started to take a biotin vitamins and vitamin c cause i am lack of eating less protein. I don;t eat that much meat, over the summer i was sick and lost a lot of weight and lost some hair. What should i do to regrow my hair. my weight is fine now but it just my hair

Answer: If you dont eat much meat you should try substitute proteins like protein bars and protein shakes. You need to use a hair treatment like provillus. I've been on it for 5 weeks and i must say there is a major improvement in my part. It has all the vitamins your hair needs and much more.I've used it and I had very good results.Provillus contains the only FDA-approved topical ingredient clinically proven to re grow hair. I am sure this product will be worth your time for a second look since your money would be going into the right hands. In a survey conducted, 18 out of 20 people experienced a drastic change after using this product. None experienced any side effects. Provillus offers the best possible and perennial solution for this problem for both men and women. One of the best parts of the provillus treatment is that it uses natural ingredients. This has accounted for its rising popularity. Thus it leaves the other products behind in this context, since most of the products contain harmful chemicals. Provillus basically functions by removing the main cause of hair loss i.e. DHT. DHT damages the hair follicles and is responsible for the thinning of hair. It also restricts the re-growth of new hair. Provillus prevents its formation and it also promotes the growth of the new hair. I use it once a day every evening. The area which i was balding in was the top middle portion of my head, not sure why cause no one in my family is loosing hair accept me so its not genetic. I have regrowth in that area, few strands are coming up and my wife says its so much better than it was before. Well you might be aware that it is available for both men and women. The saw palmetto extract is basically present in the men's version whereas a combination of acids is present in the female version. Thus in addition to the solution of problem of hair loss it also nourishes hair. Till now Provillus has been getting positive feedbacks so you needn't worry and instead be assured. It offers the its users complete satisfaction. If you would like more information on what a natural hair re-growth product can do for you visit: http://www.help-me-im-bald.com

Question: Do protein supplements help your hair grow faster and healthier? I'm trying to grow my hair long and want to know if drinking something with protein is good for your hair growth since hair is made of protein. Whats a good protein shake thats not necessarily for body building and doesnt affect your male organs? p.s im a guy thanx

Answer: On an average hair on the head grows at the rate of approximately 0.5 mm daily. This rate of growth also depends on genetic factors, diet, lifestyle and age of the person. While it may not be possible to have long hair overnight, you can use home remedies to make your hair grow faster. Some of the home remedies are: 1. Hair is made up of protein, so eat foods which contain plenty of protein like fish, eggs, liver, milk products, yeast, wheat germ, sprouts, beans, nuts and yoghurt. Soy protein which is found in tofu also helps. 2. Since hair reflects the overall health of a person, vitamin supplements or fresh food containing the vitamins should be part of the daily diet. Vitamin B complex, biotin and carotene (contained in carrots, yellow fruits and vegetable) are important. 3. Hot oil massages improve the circulation of blood in the scalp and make your hair grow faster. Coconut oil should be applied to the hair for at least an hour so that it is absorbed properly and then washed off. Castor oil can also be used. 4. Trim your hair often, at least once in 5-6 weeks, so that split ends and dry hair are removed. Hair stops growing at the split ends. 5. Apply egg white and neem to your hair. Wash after 3 hours. Alternately, mix eggs and olive oil and apply the mixture to your scalp. 6.Brushing your hair once in the morning and evening improves the circulation in the scalp and makes your hair grow faster. Massaging the scalp with your fingertips also helps improve circulation. 7. Do not blow dry your hair. If possible wash your hair only once a week, with cold water since hot water and harsh shampoos can damage the hair. 8. Drink plenty of water and sleep for 8 - 9 hours a day, since hair grows when a person is resting. Exercising daily will also improve the blood circulation and help your hair grow quickly. Hair grows faster when there is less stress.

Question: Protein for hair & nail growth? I've heard that protein is good for helping nails and hair grow faster and stronger. Has anyone got any info on this or tried it themselves?

Answer: Vitamin B, calcium and plenty of protein are essential for healthy nails and hair. those are the best ive experienced this changing my eating habit currently and my hair just feels healthier and my nails are stronger!

Question: Hair growth & hair nourishment or protein cream for black hair for male? I want my black hair growth & nourish. I use Brylecream protien plus (Indian product) to my hair, It is ok but I want to change my hair cream. I am doing night shifts (9 hours) & use to sleep 3 to 4 hours in day time, eveing I am going to collage . Lack of rest ,strain & thinking I lost my hair slowly. please advice& suggest good nourish cream to my hair ( Weekly twice hair bathing)

Answer: First you shampoo your hair. What's weekly twice hair bathing? Do you mean you wash your hair twice a week? That's fine. Also use a conditioner after you shampoo. Try using African Pride Hair Dressing or Doo Gro Anti-Thinning Lotion to your hair and message it in. Do this at least two times a week.

Question: Amenorrhea, protein in urine, excessive hair growth, and rapid weight gain. Any ideas? I'm waiting for my appointment a few months from now I was just curious what could these symptoms mean: I haven't had a period in six months and during that time I've gained weight rapidly (15 kg!). I'm much more hairy than I used to be (shaving is almost futile), especially facial hair. When I did go for an appointment a few weeks ago I was told I had excess protein in my urine. Any ideas? I'll know more when I go to my appointment but yet again I'm just wondering. Note: Not pregnant, no medications, not a diabetic, and not on birth control. Thyroid problem has been ruled out so far.

Answer: PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) usually runs in your family, ask an aunt if they share your same symptoms. What it is in a nutshell is an ovary that tries to produce and release the egg and it gets stuck and forms a cyst. Usually this causes little or no periods and if you try to get pregnant, well, you can't. Most women take some type of birth control to help regulate everything which helps your body control the testosterone some since it causes all the hair, weight, etc. Then someday when you want to get pregnant your Dr. will put you on Glucophage to control your ovaries and so you can ovulate. I've found this all out the hard way so I hope this might help you out.

Question: What kinds of foods promote hair growth? I'm want to grow my hair pretty long so that I can donate a portion of it to "Locks of Love," which is an organization that takes donations of hair to make wigs for cancer patients who have lost their hair due to chemo-therapy. What kinds of foods promote hair growth other than foods with protein?

Answer: Thats very sweet of you to do that with your hair A diet high in vital nutrients mainly beta carotene, iodine and protein are necessary for shiny healthy hair. Iodine is necessary for the production of the thyroid hormone thyroxin. This hormone promotes hair growth. The foods that contain iodine are seafoods like cod, mussels, seaweed and haddock. Beta Carotene is actually converted by the body into vitamin A which makes the hair strong. You can find it in green and yellow fruits and vegetables like green peppers and cantaloupes. Protein can be found in foods like meat, eggs and nuts to name a few. Whatever you do, cut back on the foods that slow down hair growth like candy, soft drinks, caffeine, alcohol and tobacco. What these food ingredients do is rob the body of nutrients that are necessary for hair growth. Nicotine in particular has been proven to destroy vitamin C - an essential vitamin for healthy hair and skin. HAIR GROWTH TIP: Get 7-9 hours of sleep per night. This is believed to increase hair growth :)

Question: Has anyone heard of Emu oil for hair growth? Any other type of hair growth oils? I know healthy hair is got by healthy food, protein, fruit and veg but I also read that a healthy scalp, clean scalp and oil is good. anyone use any oils?

Answer: i use doo gro oil but i saw a website talking about emu oil shampoo and confitioner and vitamins with a mix of jojoba oil.

Question: How can I increase my hair growth rate? I have been using vitamin supplements that I got from Healthy Hair Plus (healthyhairplus.com). I have also been using jojabo oil in the shower (I use it on my skin as well, and it has really helped my skin). I have emu oil, too, but I am never sure when to use it!! I use it at night because it makes my hair ridiculously oily, and sometimes I put some in a couple hours before I wash my hair in the shower. Is there a limit on how many vitamins or supplements you should take? I have a protein-enriched shampoo and conditioner, emu oil shampoo and conditioner, a follicle cleanse shampoo, and a follicle stimulator. Why do hot oil treatments work for the hair? I was look at one here -- http://www.allurebeautysupply.com/DR-MIRACLES-Hair-Meds-Collection-Intensive-Heating-Oil_p_0-1071.html Also, when should I put oils in my hair? When it is wet or dry? Should I leave them in or rinse them out? Please help!

Answer: If you get a regular trim, your hair will grow faster.
