This is not possibleYour hair cannot absorb minerals and vitamins. Minerals and vitamins for your hair come from your circulatory system not from anything you put on it.

Certain compounds can be put on your hair with shampoos and conditioners. These just put a layer or coating on your hair and make it smooth and shiny.Conclusion:

Ingredients, including minerals, in shampoos are like detergents for washing stuff off.Shampoos do basically what they say to the outside or surface of your hair. To really help your hair, minerals and vitamins need to be absorbed through the bodys system.
