Honestly, the reason for the hair fall or loss is the most important information that one should know or gather before jumping at any kind of solution. This is because hair strands are like reading a book.<\/p>\n<p>If you can comprehend the subject or topic you\u2019ll understand fully what you are reading. It is the same with haircare; if you understand what is going with your tresses, you\u2019ll be able to see clearly how to fix any issues.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it is always recommended to look for treatments according to the current condition of the hair. If your hair fall or loss has just started or is in initial stages; then there are topical hair growth enhancers that can be used to rectify things.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, enhancers like minoxidil, finasteride, DHT blockers or supplements can be used for hair growth.<\/p>\n<p>However, what are a few other things that might be the culprits behind your hair loss? Well, if your body is deprived of vital nutrients, then along with other body parts, your hair will also eventually become affected.<\/p>\n<p>Our hair needs the right kind of diet or nutrition for not only proper hair growth; but for vitamins to be able to play their role in enhancing hair growth. Among all the vitamins, Vitamin H i.e. Biotin can easily be crowned the king in the hair growth realm. Biotin is necessary for the conversion of food into energy within the body and supports cellular growth internally as well as externally.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What is Biotin?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biotin is also known as vitamin B7 or Co-enzyme R. It is a water-soluble vitamin and helps to promote healthy skin, hair, and nails. Biotin stimulates hair growth and increases the elasticity of the hair thereby making the hair less prone to breakage. Our hair is made up proteins, mainly keratin. These proteins form the amino acids which result in the cellular reaction with biotin.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_Biotin_help_in_hair_growth\"><\/span>How does Biotin help in hair growth?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Biotin produces the keratin in the body and in turn keratin helps to transfer the oxygen to the scalp cells known as dermal papillae cells. This allows the proper supply of nutrients, oxygen, and blood to the hair follicles.<\/p>\n<p>Biotin also carries away the CO2 from the scalp &amp; strengthens the hair follicles. It forms a protective layer on the top of the hair strands which gives protection from any environmental damage. Biotin also helps to aid hair in achieving more volume and length of the strands with improved hair texture.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Symptoms and Risk Factors of Biotin Vitamin Deficiency other than Hair Loss<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dry, scaly skin<\/li>\n<li>Swollen and painful tongue<\/li>\n<li>Depression<\/li>\n<li>Insomnia<\/li>\n<li>Fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Loss of appetite<\/li>\n<li>Dry eyes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Recommended dosage of Biotin<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biotin is water-soluble and is well tolerated at even high levels.

In simple terms: this means you don\u2019t have to eat meat in order to get your Biotin intake. Getting an adequate amount of biotin from a vegan diet is attainable and possible. The following are the common and best biotin-rich foods for hair growth:<\/p>\n<p>Almonds are the power house of biotin, vitamin E, and protein that helps to nourish the hair. A 1\/4th cup of almonds is rich in 15-20 mcg of biotin. Almonds serve as a great snacking option and you can munch them at any time.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to almonds, walnuts and peanuts are rich sources of biotin for hair growth. Along with the biotin, walnuts are rich sources of anti-oxidants, protein, and minerals like potassium, zinc, iron, and calcium. Peanuts are rich in protein which is essential for hair growth.<strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oats are rich in biotin. Along with biotin, they are rich in vitamin B which acts as humectants and helps to prevent dryness. It penetrates deep into the scalp and keeps the hair moisturized. It also fights hair loss problems and promotes hair growth.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><em>Carrots:<\/em><\/strong> Along with biotin, carrots are rich in beta-carotene. It produces the natural sebum oil which keeps roots moisturized and healthy. Also it prevents hair fall &amp; boosts hair growth by increasing the cellular growth.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Eggs:<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Cooked eggs (not raw) are a great source of biotin. Raw eggs contain avidin (protein), which binds to the protein and stops the absorption of biotin by the body. Eggs contain approximately 54 mcg of biotin per 100g.<\/p>\n<p>It is a rich source of biotin as well as vitamin B and E. Spinach is rich in iron as well. Deficiency of iron causes hair loss as there is a low supply of oxygen and nutrients to the hair roots and follicles which inhibits hair growth and causes hair fall.<\/p>\n<p><em>Other than the above-mentioned foods, there is a number of foods that are rich in biotin such as chicken, meat, seafood, soybean, berries, mushrooms etc. These all are superfoods for hair growth.
