The journey to healthier hair can feel like a long game (no pun intended). But it definitely is a journey indeed –one that takes commitment, time, and trial and error. According to the skincare brand Kiehl’s, hair grows on average at the rate of half an inch per month. So, one option is to wait around and be patient while that growth comes in on its own, and the other option is to explore a few different products that will help accelerate growth or simply make the hair you have healthier.
Wellbel Dietary Supplement
Wellbel is a physician-formulated daily hair supplement that supports the health of your skin, hair, and nails. It’s known for its all-vegan ingredients, which include Betaine HCI, Saw Palmetto, MSM Antioxidant Synthesis, and Biotin. The website and customer reviews suggest taking the supplement for at least 90 days to begin to see the results. In addition to being vegan, it’s also 100% drug-free.
Bonus: Wellbel also comes in a Wellbel+ supplement for women over the age of 45, as well as a men’s supplement.
Gisou Honey Infused Scalp Treatment Serum
One way to promote healthier hair is to start at the root…literally. While a lot of us might be focused on healing our split ends and adding growth, adding a regular scalp treatment to your routine can make those things happen faster.
This Gisou leave-in treatment has earned Sephora’s clean beauty guarantee and works with all different hair types and textures. The Mirsalehi Honey restores natural balance to the hair and will give your locks that healthy shine, while the Ectoine ingredient will help relieve flakiness and dryness in the scalp. It's recommended to use the product twice per week for the best ongoing results.
K18 Molecular Repair Hair Mask
For the not-so-patient, a four-minute leave-in hair mask sounds like one of the most practical options to use for healthier hair. Rather than having to clear your schedule to sit around and let a mask soak in, the K18 treatment is applied to damp hair and is proven to yield immediate results with its K18PEPTIDE™ scientific formula.
This product specifically targets hair repair from excessive bleach and color, heat, and chemical services but it’s suitable for all hair types. You can also try a mini size for just $29 before upgrading to a larger bottle or subscription plan.
Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder
If you’re looking to get the most bang for your buck, taking a collagen supplement each day can bring many benefits on top of helping your hair strength –including improving your skin elasticity and promoting overall bone and joint health.
One of the most common ways to consume collagen is in powder form, where you have the freedom to add a scoop to your morning coffee or mix it in with a shake or smoothie. The Vital Proteins powder has 20 grams of protein per serving and is Whole30-approved and Paleo-friendly.
Pro tip: the unflavored powder is unnoticeable when added to smoothies, coffee, or yogurt. If you are looking for a flavor boost, you can also find collagen in chocolate, vanilla, or fruit flavors.
AG Care Apple Cider Vinegar Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner
AG Care is a sustainable, socially responsible company with a variety of hair care products for all different types of hair and textures. Their apple cider vinegar shampoo and conditioner are both 98 percent plant-based and designed to lock in moisture and keep the hair feeling ultra-soft and sleek.
The product is best used as a pair, where you’ll shampoo and rinse as usual, and then leave in the conditioner for 1-2 minutes before rinsing it out and going about your day. And you can be more sustainable and save up to $50 when you purchase refill pouches versus buying brand new bottles every time you run out.
