    They are used for pregnancy, however one of the things that happens is it makes your hair grow fuller and pretty. So some women also take them just for that. I think you need a prescription though. They may be hard on your kidney's.

    Any multivitamin will have a similar effect (maybe not as noticeable, though, since some of the dosages are lower.) My hair definitely grows faster when I've been taking my vitamins every day.

    this is such an old wives tale that they are good for your hair....the reason why your hair grows so fast when you are pregnant is not because of the prenatals its because there is an increase of growth hormones that are developing the baby so some of them are not going to be used so they go to different places like hair nails fat, etc.....prenatals are for the baby so that it is getting the proper nutrician that they need to prevent dieseases

    their nutrition is vital to a pregnancy

    They are geared towards pregnant women

    I think that whatever makes your hair better is needed more in pregnancy that's why Prenatal vitamins make your hair nicer

    they are for the baby not neccesicarily you! its to ensure that the baby is getting all the multivitamens that the baby needs that you may not provide when eating certain foods or your overall diet. its not for your hair either.
