Birth Control and Growing Your Natural Tresses

Everyone has heard about the hormonal changes that I woman goes through when they get on a birth control method, whether it is the shot or the actual pills itself. Now a lot of people have do their research before getting on birth control and/or learning about what their hair truly needs or missing. I have been on birth control pills since September 2004. I have never experienced having trouble growing my hair since being on it but I have noticed that it tends to break more than it used to. I won't blame it all on my birth control pills but it has opened my eyes to the changes in my body due to birth control pills. When I moved to New York in 2009, I decided to start taking a multivitamin and that has helped me tremendously. I have noticed that my Centrum Multivitamin does not have enough Biotin in it. It only has 15% of its daily value. Not enough to my liking. Before going further, you should always consult your doctor when changes your vitamin regimen. I personally take my multivitamin with (2) biotins a day. I have noticed improvements as well as growth. Everyone has their choice in vitamins that they would like to take. If you are not a big vitamin person that are also on birth control, look into certain foods that enhances your hair and nails. It is crucial to drink plenty of water. Water is essential to everyone's health whether you are trying to grow you hair or not. Also try to exercise daily. It helps with blood circulation, including in your scalp to stimulate your hair follicles. It is funny how our bodies work, especially after doing your homework and learning. Growing and learning about my new hair is very important to me. Also, I reached my one year napptural anniversary on July 2nd! It came fast and I am happy that I made it and didn't give up. In the meantime, be kind to your tresses and stick with it. :)
