Hello.
Thanks for the query.
Vitamins are required for normal growth of hair. Specially vit B 12 that is cobalamine is very important.
You can take cobalamine tablets. I dont think there is need to take injection.
Apart from this please apply minoxidil 5 % solution twice daily.
This will improve your hair and also there will be regrowth.
Only thing is that it will take some time to show its effect.
Thank you
