... it's strange, is it healthy? Well girls here advice oils and biotin. But, in fact oiks just make roots stronger not make it grow and some ladies say that biotin is an illusuon because it is used when pregnant ( hope I don't tangle the name of the pills), and the last is the real reason. But if you have curly hair it grows much slowly, my mom started growing hair 1,5 years before me and my hair is now longer than her ( after 2 years) even if I had a lot of ends cut.

Vitamins, especially biotin help so much. I know a woman who used to have really short hair, then she became the manager of the GNC store in town so she had access to all sorts of vitamins and her hair grew SO fast. You don't necessarily need all of a fancy expensive vitamins though. I recommend going to Walmart and buying a multivitamin and definitely biotin. It is a necessity for hair growth! I started taking it every day about three weeks ago and my fine, thin hair has already gotten so much thicker and it's grown some but it's too early to tell you exactly how fast it's worked for me.
Also, don't wash your hair every day and invest in a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.
Drink a ton of water every day.
And lastly, don't color your hair. I used to color my hair all the time and it grew so slow.
I really hope this helps!!

If your not seeing any growth after all that time I'd say your hair is breaking that's why your not seeing a difference in length. sulfate free shampoos try to wash spairingly and only put the shampoo on the roots not all over to the ends. use a deep conditioner at least once a week for at least 20 min and a heating cap if you can find one

To begin with, you want to STIMULATE hair growth and encourage the strength of your hair.
Genetics play a major role here, your hair is meant to grow up to a certain length before falling off ( like how some people have shorter lashes than others)... So if super long hair doesn't run in the family, don't get so bummed out if your hair stays at a certain length.
To help you out here.. Two common answers on BL have been to use Mane n' Tail and Biotin. You should avoid these, however.
Mane n' tail shampoo/conditioner is not PH balanced for human hair or scalp, over time it begins to dry out your hair and make it brittle ( Scientifically, and speaking from personal experience with this one. ) And like I said, it's been proven that you cannot make your hair grow faster unless you modify genetics.
Do NOT Take Biotin, especially without consulting a doctor. Biotin is initially meant for those who have a biotin deficiency or a related illness. Taking biotin is not needed as you get enough from your own intake of food.
Biotin can also yield nasty side effects, many girls ( some on here ) failed to yield the warning and ended up with high fever, vomiting throughout the day, mild to severe acne.. some as odd as getting acne on your legs. Biotin is also NOT approved by the FDA.
Following a healthy diet is essential for hair growth. Take proteins into consideration, such as keratin which makes up most of your hair.
Your body needs to produce more amino acids to increase hair growth. Proteins can come from eggs, nuts, beans, fish, etc.
Check with your doctor to make sure you don't have any deficiencies. Iron and zinc play a big component in hair growth as well as nail growth. Cereal, breads, pastas, have a healthy level of iron and zinc.
Make sure you take enough vitamin C as well ( Lack of such vitamin can cause dry, dull, and weakened hair... Citrus fruits, strawberries, guava, broccoli, kale, peppers, etc.have a good amount of Vitamin C. )
Consume healthy fats such as unsaturated fats and fatty acids such as omega-3's. Fats are indispensable to hair growth.
Exercising, scalp massages, and avoiding stress. Exercising allows blood to flow to your head, and massaging your hair stimulates new hair growth ( for at least 5 minutes when you wash your hair or apply a product, massage your scalp. )
Stress causes hair to fall out so avoid stress if you can.
Hair masks and treatments are a must. Stick to treatments involving Coconut oil. Coconut Oil stimulates hair growth because it penetrates deep into your hair follicles ( and is considered protein. )
Oils work great for hair, for maximum benefits heat them up indirectly. ( Heat up a cup of water in your microwave for two minutes, and in a separate enclosed container with your hair masks, place it in the cup of water to heat it indirectly. )
Avoid heat if you can.
You don't need to get a haircut every x number of months, that just causes it to stay at the same length.
Get a cut if you really need to ( dead ends ), cutting hair won't just randomly make it grow twice as fast.
You can wash your hair everyday, it's shampooing you want to stray from because it's very stripping. Shampoo your scalp ONLY.
Don't rinse out all of your conditioner. This helps immensely and when you wash your hair again it will be de-tangled. Stick to moisturizing your hair 100%.
Try to brush your hair outside of the shower with a wide tooth comb.
If you have any questions - feel free to contact me. I am in the process of growing out my hair and the above has really helped me. I have a few in progress photos on my profile if you'd like to check them out.
This would be my progress within two months of following all of the above.
& Good luck with your hair!
