the reason why is that I posted an earlier question which posed "How can I get my hair to grow as fast as it can...?" because I got this horrible emo hair cut and I hated it so I hacked it up even more and I just want it to grow as fast as I can, and I got a lot of feedback to take vitamins with biotin in it, but I looked it up and it said it only makes your hair grow faster if you have cancer? Is that true? Because I heard of people w/o cancer taking it and their hair growing back faster but I don't know... also if it doesn't make it grow stronger will it make it grow faster? Anything about this vitamin would be greatly appreciated, or on how to make hair grow faster... thank you soooooo much....

I read somewhere that it doesn't make hair grow faster--virtually no products do that. But, it does improve the strength of hair and nails as I can personally attest to.

I took Biotin when my hair was falling out, it stopped it from falling,but I don't think there is anything that will make your hair grow faster. Would you be willing to go and get a short hair cut with the clippers, like a #2 on the sides and #3 on the top and spike it or something, or do a faux hawk??? Good luck

GNC has a supplement called "Nourishair" that makes the hair grow faster, you can read what's in it by googling it.
Also ProCaps labs sells a "hair skin and nails" formula that does the same thing, supports hair growth and health
If you take only Biotin alone, make sure you take at least 2.5 milligrams or 2500 micrograms [the same thing] a day because thats' a good amount to take. I use the Nourshair supplement from GNC now and my hair is growing faster than it did, but it took about 6 to 8 weeks of daily use to see results.

Hi, Im a student in the field of cosmetology,
Nothing can really make your hair grow longer. Ive looked. But there are things you can do to help it.
One thing is that if you straighten or use irons on your hair, like myself, deep condition your hair ALOT! I do it two to three times a week! Even if you dont have a deep conditioner you can use regular conditioner on your hair for an hour or more, this also works nicely. My hair became really strong after this.
Vitamins help too! Take a multivitamin and a vitamin B-complex.
Do not color your hair alot! It weakens your hair causing it to snap off. If you do need to though, dont forget to condition, condition, condition!!! Dont forget bleaching! That is one of the worste things you could do!!
Cutting your hair doesnt make it grow faster!!! All that does is remove the split ends.
Massage your scalp regularly, this helps with growth!! It helps circulate blood flow in the scalp, with premotes hair growth.
Hope this information was helpful :)

Try horse shampoo. It's called Mane n' Tail or Shapley's MTG. When I took biotin, my hair didn't stop falling out, but numbed the side of my face. It had bad effects on me, but I guess for some it works. Try the shampoo mentioned above.
