What about protein?
Protein is one of the macronutrients in the diet and is found in, amongst other things, meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, pulses, nuts and seeds.
The hair shaft itself consists mainly of keratin, which is a protein.
However, this does not mean that protein should be marketed as a nutrient that makes hair grow faster.
A varied diet can include different sources of protein as part of one’s general nutrition.

Dietary supplements for hair
Dietary supplements are intended to supplement the normal diet and should not replace a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
If a dietary supplement contains sufficient amounts of the relevant nutrients to meet the conditions for the approved claims, the following information may, for example, be provided:
Biotin helps maintain normal hair.
Zinc helps maintain normal hair.
However, it should not be described as a guarantee of faster hair growth, thicker hair or reduced hair loss.
If you suspect a vitamin or mineral deficiency, you should speak to your doctor or another relevant healthcare professional.
Take care of your hair when using heat styling
Frequent use of high temperatures can damage the hair shaft.
If you use straighteners, curling tongs or other heat styling tools, you can:
- set the temperature appropriately
- avoid applying heat to the same area unnecessarily many times
- use a heat protection product
- handle your hair gently after styling
Use hair products that suit your hair
There is no one-size-fits-all hair care routine.
Dry, fine, curly, coloured and chemically treated hair, for example, may have different needs.
You should therefore choose shampoo, conditioner and styling products based on your hair type and the effect you want to achieve on the hair itself.
If your scalp reacts to a product, it may be a good idea to stop using it and find an alternative that suits you better.
Grow & Glow Serum Formula+
A scalp serum can be part of your daily hair care routine.
Our Grow & Glow Serum Formula+ is designed for application directly to the scalp and contains, amongst other ingredients, Capilia Longa®.
The serum is applied to the scalp following the product’s instructions for use and can be combined with the rest of your hair care routine.
Stress and hair
Stress can affect the body in many ways.
If you experience changes in your hair or persistent hair loss during a stressful period, it may be worth speaking to your doctor.
Good sleeping habits, regular exercise and time for recovery are also key elements of a healthy lifestyle.
FAQs about hair growth
How fast does hair grow?
The rate of hair growth varies from person to person and is influenced by factors such as genetics, age and the hair’s natural growth cycle.
It therefore makes no sense to set a general timeframe for when everyone will see specific results.
How long does it take to see results from a hair product?
It depends on the specific product and the effect for which it has been developed.
Cosmetic products, for example, may be designed to provide moisture, shine, softness or other benefits for the hair and scalp.
Always follow the product’s instructions for use and the specific information on the product page.
Can vitamins make hair grow faster?
It is important to distinguish between hair growth and maintaining normal hair.
The authorised health claims for, amongst others, biotin, zinc and selenium state that they:
contribute to the maintenance of normal hair.
This is not the same as saying that the vitamins make hair grow faster.
Which vitamins and minerals contribute to normal hair?
There are authorised health claims for, amongst others:
- Biotin, which helps to maintain normal hair
- Zinc, which helps to maintain normal hair
- Selenium, which helps to maintain normal hair
The authorised claims may be used when the relevant conditions for the specific food or dietary supplement are met.
Is B12 good for your hair?
Vitamin B12 has a number of authorised functions in the body, but there is no specific authorised health claim stating that B12 contributes to hair growth or the maintenance of normal hair.
We therefore do not link B12 directly to any effect on hair.
Is vitamin C good for your hair?
Vitamin C has various recognised functions in the body, but it does not have a specific authorised health claim regarding normal hair or hair growth.
Is omega-3 good for your hair?
Omega-3 fatty acids have other nutritional functions, but should not generally be marketed with a claim that they promote hair growth or maintain normal hair.
Which foods are best for hair growth?
There is no single food that can be described as the key to faster hair growth.
Instead, focus on a varied and balanced diet comprising different food groups.
If you wish to highlight specific vitamins and minerals in relation to hair, it is important to stick to the approved health claims.
Can hair growth be stopped?
If the question concerns unwanted body hair, there are various methods of hair removal such as shaving, waxing, laser treatment and electrolysis.
The effectiveness and duration of results vary between these methods.

Brief summary
There is a great deal of advice on hair growth, but it is important to distinguish between substantiated product claims, general hair care and authorised health claims for vitamins and minerals.
When it comes to vitamins and minerals, some of the relevant authorised claims are:
Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair.
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair.
Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair.
These statements relate to the maintenance of normal hair – not to making hair grow faster, creating new hair or treating hair loss.
Combine a varied and balanced diet with a hair care routine that suits your hair and scalp.
