Committing to long hair takes time and patience. There are no remedies to quickly grow out your hair but certain types of shampoos can help increase hair growth. Your hair requires vitamins just as your body does. Choosing a vitamin-fortified shampoo will pay off with long, healthy locks.

Bio-Complex 5000 Revitalizing Shampoo

Bio-complex 5000 Revitalizing Shampoo contains vitamins and antioxidants in addition to healing properties obtained from a Hawaiian ginger plant. The healing properties are extremely important in repairing hair shafts. Hair can become damaged from styling, heat, chemicals and elements such as the sun and wind. Repairing hair helps keep hair manageable and healthy which prevents further hair damage and promotes hair growth. Bio-complex 5000 also consists of mild surfactants, or cleansers, which are gentle on your hair. Bio-complex is also a clarifying shampoo, according to DMCWellness.com, which helps eliminate build-up residue. Residue can be left behind from styling products such as gel, mousse and hairspray as well as heavy shampoos and conditioners. This shampoo can benefit both men and women.

Athena Hair System Shampoo

Athena shampoo is geared more toward women who want to increase hair growth. Athena’s formula contains biotin which is essential for hair growth. Biotin is part of the vitamin B-complex. Vitamin B promotes hair growth, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Shampoos containing biotin increase circulation to your scalp, delivering vital nutrients for healthy hair. Athena shampoo also contains borage oil which is an essential oil that helps promote hair growth. According to HairLossSupplements.com, borage oil is rich in omega-6 fatty acids and effectively nourishes your hair and scalp. Incorporating borage oil into your diet can help prevent hair loss and encourage hair growth. HairLossSupplements.com recommends consuming between 100 to 500 mg of borage oil on a daily basis.

Spartan Hair System Shampoo

Spartan shampoo is formulated for men to increase hair growth, according to Drugs.com. The same company, Greek Island Labs, manufactures both Athena shampoo and Spartan shampoo. The ingredients in each of the shampoos are similar, although there is no information on the amount of ingredients to differentiate between Athena and Spartan, as well as no indication as to why one is made for women and the other is made for men. Since both formulas are similar, they act in the same way to promote hair growth by stimulating scalp circulation and nourishing your hair.
