Vitamin E is best known for it’s amazing antioxidant properties, helping yourbody fight and prevent damage caused by aging and environmental toxins. In addition, it’s an essential nutrient in maintaining the overall health of your skin, eyes, and immune system. It’s reported to help increase stamina and
endurance. It contributes to the health of your cell membranes and prolongs the life of red blood cells. It also helps your body more efficiently utilize other vitamins such as vitamins A, B, and C.
Nearly everyone has heard of how vitamin E can help to moisturize skin, heal burns, and repair stretch marks, but did you know that it can also help prevent split ends?
By helping in the production of sebum, vitamin E oils, shampoos, and conditioners will help keep your hair moist and supple, preventing the split ends and damaged hair that can be caused by ironing, blow drying, curling, and other hair treatments such as coloring and dyes.
Using vitamin E topical products in conjunction with dietary supplements, or a diet rich in vitamin E, can help you to grow hair faster, prevent dry scalp, and will increase the health and beauty of your hair.

What causes hair loss
Hair growth or hair loss has a multi-factorial origin; factors are normal or physiological like seasonal hair loss while some are pathological like fungal infection. Normally the hair cycle maintains natural thickness and volume of hair (i.e. the amount of hair loss is equal to hair growth); however,
any significant imbalance like:
* Excessive hair loss
* Decrease hair growth
* Combination of above two
Any of the above situations can lead to baldness or alopecia.
Normally, if hair are inherently strong and get all essential nutrients and growth factors to
repair and replace dying cells, alopecia never develops.
However, if hairs are weak, any potential environmental change or disease status may change the normal physiology leading to aggravated hair loss and alopecia.
Nutritional deficiency is an essential element in causing hair loss. This is because hair cells are considered labile cells like skin cells and undergo constant regeneration, and if nutritional elements are lacking in the diet, it may lead
to enhanced hair loss.
Just as all growing cells in our body needs nutrition, hair cells also require nutrition.
Vitamin E acts as anti-oxidant and helps prevent/ repair damage caused by
ultra-violet radiations and sunlight induced damage to hair.
Apart from preventing hair loss, Vitamin E also serves to strengthen hair, improve hair
volume and prevent graying of hair. It also prevents other inflammatory conditions of scalp that may affect your hair quality or affect cosmetic appearance like dandruff and itchiness of scalp due to dryness.
Vitamin E rich gels, creams and lotions provide protection to skin by penetrating deeper layers of skin and help fight oxidative stress and free
radical induced damage. Similarly, application of vitamin E on the scalp of head also improves hair growth and regeneration by penetrating into deeper skin layers and lead to re-juvenalization of hair follicles
To improve the delivery and absorption of Vitamin E, besides increasing oral intake, using following modes of consumption are also recommended by hair specialists.
* Using shampoo and conditioners having vitamin E in sufficient amounts in
formula.
* Using vitamin E containing hair oils are known to strengthen hair by nourishing hair roots. For maximum efficacy, massaging the scalp is very
important as it helps in improving blood circulation and penetration of vitamin
E within scalp skin.
*You can use the vitamin E gel from the supplement capsules as a topical
skin treatment
*Oral supplementation as it poses several other advantages to improve
overall health and well-being. This is partially due to an enhanced rate of
oxidation reactions that increases oxygen consumption by cells and prevent
damage by reactive radicals. A dose of 400 IU/ day is generally considered
safe and effective for the treatment of hair loss and alopecia.
