You would be wasting your money to apply liquid vitamins on your hair or scalp. Only a couple of vitamins are effective on the hair strands. I believe panthenol [sic] is one.

It definitely won't do as much good as one would hope. Hair is dead, if you're feeding it to your scalp them maybe it'd help. It's best to take it orally.

I don't know that this would work, vitamins have to be taken orally so they can be broken down and metabolized and all that in order for the body to be able to use them. Not only that, hair is dead, so something like a vitamin probably wouldnt have an effect. I think you're better off taking it orally so not only your hair can benefit from it, but your whole body can.

@DreamWeaver- ok the ingredient list does look similar. I still need to decide between the two. The Nzuri does have a higher dose for acouple of ingredients like the biotin.

@csungrl09- I’m a bit of a PJ and probably use too manythings. I think this has been helpful incombination with some of the products in my regimen. I still do have setbacks every now and thenfrom dryness and breakage. I’m trying toget a handle on it to increase retention.

I purchased a liquid multivitamin to put in my smoothies in the morning - but since I've seen some reviews on the Nzuri Elixir product which from what i read is basically the same thing but a lot more expensive - Do you think its okay if I were to add the liquid multivitamin to my DTs or Leave-Ins?
