It can't metabolize anything. permalink fedilink source hideshow 14 child comments replies: [β] residentmarchant@lemmy.world 50 points 2 years ago (1 child) I don't know anything about how it works, but I assumed it was absorbed by the skin on your head not the actual hair. I still doubt that putting vitamin whatever on your head everyday will actually make a difference permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 54 points 2 years ago This is correct. Itβs about a healthy scalp. Like lotion for your head. permalink fedilink source parent [β] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 25 points 2 years ago Yeah but you gotta remember "vitamins" is just a dumbed down term to refer to fats and compounds. It's not actually like food or anything nourishing for the hair. Like a lot of haircare stuff has vitamin e in it, which is supposed to help protect hair from hot blow drying damage and also make it shiny. A lot of the stuff is also moisturizers for your scalp. permalink fedilink source parent [+] skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [β] Irelephant@lemm.ee [S] 3 points 2 years ago I didn't know that.
