NO. Do not use Mane N Tail. It makes your hair feel longer at first because it's being weighed down by waxes, but it's not helping at all. Eventually it will make your hair feel dry and gross. It's not effective at all.
Instead, I'd go with L'oreal EverStrong, or another sulfate free brand. Organix, while it isn't sulfate free, is good as well.

Q: How fast does hair grow?
A: The speed of hair growth is roughly 1.25 centimeters or 0.5 inches per month, being about 15 centimeters or 6 inches per year. With age the speed of hairgrowth might slow down to as little as 0.25 cm or 0.1 inch a month.
That's from hairfinder.com. It's impossible to speed up the growth of your hair, it's determined by genetics. Your hair probably felt longer due to the waxes pulling it down.

I use Mane n Tail deep moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and I love it. My hair is so much healthier since I've been using it. But it depends on the person.

DON't USE IT. It doesn't make your hair grow or make it healthy. the wax weighs your hair down. it's not ph balanced for human hair. please don't use it. it's going to ruin your hair.

Giovanni sulfate free products. Always bogo at ulta and you can use coupons. Get regular trims and deep condition. You can also invest in BioSil vitamins.

Mane N Tail was made for animals for a reason. Hannah suggested some great products, choose one of those instead :)

No magic pill or product. Hair growth only speeds up slightly once a month due to hormones. Be patient, hair is a waste material just like your nails. In the meantime maybe you could experiment with different hair pieces?

We use that on are horses sometimes..but it works really well for them.haha

Haha it's also for humans. Velen is right, natural stuff works really well. Look up some natural hair treatments online. I remember one that said mustard helps stimulate the scalp for growth. I think it's like anything hot or spicy, like Velen said jalapeños. Also try doing olive oil, castor oil, or coconut oil treatments.

I used it on my horse before, didn't like it. Great the first few times, awful after a while. My favorite shampoo and conditioner is bumble and bumble!

I agree, it made my hair grow fast but made the roots so waxy and greasy underneath as soon as it was dry, felt like I hadnt washed it! Annoying cos it'd be great if it wasnt for that.

Why is Mane n' Tail bad for you?? Let's see...
You cannot make your hair grow faster. Nor are there any products to make your hair grow faster.
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. )
The reason people claim Mane n' tail makes your hair grow is because of the heavy amount of wax in it. The wax present in Mane N' tail simply weighs down your hair and this wax can actually cause flakes. The wax in Mane n' tail is the reason for dullness, and dryness that it can cause. The wax builds up on your hair and overtime causes that side effect. In other words, Mane n Tail is as effective as lard.
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. There are foods that contain Biotin already ( Peanut butter is a good example. ) It is better to look up foods rich in Biotin.
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, split ends, etc ), 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. ( I have only been doing this for two months and the improvement of my hair in condition and length has been incredible. )
