BIOTIN
One of the best known vitamins for promoting hair growth, Biotin (a B-complex also known as vitamin H) helps to metabolise fats and proteins, and is essential for strengthening hair and nails. If you are deficient in it, you can experience dry, brittle nails and thinning and lacklustre hair prone to breakage. Biotin produces keratin, and assists elasticity in the cortex layer of the hair shaft, so your hair is less prone to damage from heat styling, sun damage and other dangers. Chow down on eggs, seafood, brown rice, yeast, oats and lentils.
SELENIUM
A deficiency in the mineral selenium can inhibit your body's ability to grow new hair. It is known to help combat the fungal infection malassezia, which is associated with dandruff or scalp psoriasis, and is therefore a common ingredient in anti-dandruff shampoos. Fish, whole grains and garlic are a source of selenium in your diet.

ZINC
Zinc is a vital mineral essential to maintaining a healthy immune system. It promotes healthy hair follicles and therefore can lead to weakened follicles resulting in hair loss if you are deficient. Zinc is key in cell reproduction, maintaining hormone levels and absorbing vitamins. Some studies have shown that zinc can prevent or slow graying hair. Oysters, sweet potato, nuts, chickpeas and spinach are all rich in zinc.

VITAMIN B6
In addition to energy and red blood cell production, vitamin B6 keeps hair healthy. It also helps to keep skin healthy too, as it increases collagen production. This is necessary for hair growth. Tuna, bananas, salmon and spinach are excellent sources of B6.
VITAMIN B12
Vitamin B12 promotes healthy hair growth by helping in the formation of red blood cells. The visible part of your hair is made up of keratin which is a protein. At the base of each hair follicle, tiny blood vessels connect to the root of each hair strand. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the living portion of the hair strands. Without adequate oxygen, your hair typically won’t be able to sustain healthy growth so it’s important to have adequate levels of Vitamin B12
PANTOTHENTIC ACID / VITAMIN B5
Pantothenic acid is believed to help strengthen hair follicles and their cells, allowing them to function properly. One study even found that taking the nutrient stops hair from thinning. The nutrient, also known as Vitamin B5 can be found in cauliflower,avocado, legumes, lentils, egg yolks, broccoli, tomatoes among other things.
Big hair, don't care: It's no secret the TOWIE girls love voluminous, glamorous hair - so it's no surprise newcomer Katie Wright has jumped on board promoting the supplements
