vitamins for nails and hair

Can I take the hair and nails prenatals while prego ?? I really want my hair tooo grow long ...

Does any of you ladies know if you can take hair and nail vitamins when pregnant my nails are so brittle and break over this littlest things and every time i see my doctor i forget to ask. I tried to research it but got nothing.

Do the prenatal pills help the baby bones too.?

I'm having a girl and my nails and hair have grown a lot & I don't take prenatal vitamins.

Hey ladies, I have a question for you. Have you all experienced the wonderful healthy longer hair and nails? Well I haven't I have actually been shedding hair and my nails break all the time. What did you guys do to get things to grow? This was one of the parts I was looking forward to during pregnancy. I thought maybe it would show up later but I'm going on 6months and I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I think it depends on your hair type and condition before taking them. I already had pretty healthy hair that grows really fast, so maybe I don't notice it as much.

I love and hate these prenatal vitamins, they work great but taste horrible. And make me sick.

My friend swears that hers allows her to have energy, and her hair and nails grow quicker and healthy.

Has anyone else hair grown since being pregnant?

t taken them and their babies are healthy! But I must admit they do wonders for your hair and nails!

It's your hormones too. The vitamins help but the gorgeous hair and nails has been part of the pregnancy "glow" since long long before prenatal vitamins existed. Enjoy it, tons of hair falls out as your hormone levels drop after giving birth (sorry!!

It was NOT noticeable right away.

This is another thing that differs for everyone. Some women (like myself)- hair and nails grow stronger and longer and for others its the complete opposite.

Yes prenatals are also for you, babies take all our nutrients so prenatals ensure that we get enough vitamins and nutrients to keep us healthy.

but would avoid hair dyes, and also bleech. I used to use Jolen bleech to light my hair on skin. but wen we start in ttc, i avoid that. are you taking any prenatal vitamins?? if no, its the best time to start taking.. any prenatal with folic acid is good .. Hope you will get your BFP soon. Good luck !!!

Copper is an essential mineral in preserving hair structure and color. Something to Google.

Well the one I take is Nature Valley I believe name is,but since I been taking it my hair, nails etc have grown. Had to switch because the ones my Dr prescribed me cost almost $200 and only last every 30 days for 12 months.

My endocrinoligist recommended Evening Primrose Oil when my hair started coming out by the handfuls due to thyroid issues. He said it wouldn't stop the loss but that new growth would be healthier and thicker. Also, in the past I've taken vitamins for my fingernails and noticed that my hair benefited more from them than my nails!

There are vitamins specially formulated to emphasize the ones most beneficial for hair. The best is probably Ultra Hair by Nature's Plus, but there are several. Most are for hair, skin and nails combined. As for texture, rosemary oil can be very beneficial. Aubrey makes a good one. Shea and cocoa butters are also beneficial, but gooey! A chinese herb called Fo Ti, or Shen Min, is good for hair, but mostly for thinning hair.

I have dry skin, ingrown fingernails, hair loss and weight gain and need to see if there are vitamins I can take to assist in these problem areas.

Im not quite sure if all the ingredients are safe. Also, pregnancy naturally makes your hair and nails grow in most cases when you take prenatals regularly. Just a thought.

Everything you need is in the prenatal vitamin. It also helps with your nails. Trust me your hair will grow quicker than normal during pregnancy. And as long as you take your vitamins you'll see a difference. But don't freak out if it's not growing as fast as you'd like.

Yup. My you know what hair and my belly hair. Its growing in fast and im so done shaving it. Also my damn leg hair.

No. But just remember that the baby is getting all the good stuff from you and the older you get you'll start feeling that your bone start hurting and hair and nails or skin is not the same so not only does it benefit the baby but mom too.

Try a hot oil treatment. Avoid shampoos/ cond that have silicone in the ingredients. Also wash, cond hair in cold/ warm water, not hot as it tends to break hair off and effect new growth. After pregnancy, take a pill called hair, skin & nails by nature's bounty. Its the best! Made my hair grow so long & thick!!! You can find it at any grocery store, health food store, or Amazon. I can't wait to start taking mine agai! Good luck!
