If you want hair to grow faster, you have to take supplements that work on your body chemistry to support hair's growth and strength at its genesis.....once it has grown out, it is just dead keratin
Try GNC, they make a supplement called "Nourishair" in formulas for men and women..they are HUGE pills and you have to take 2 daily. There is also a "Hair skin and nails" formula from Andrew Lessman that you can google, that has great ingredients and is easier to swallow, made by ProCaps labs. You can also take large doses of Biotin, sometimes called Vitamin H, take no less than 2500 micrograms daily to support healthy hair growth.

Regular scalp massages contribute to the overall health of the hair in a number of way. When your scalp is tight, a pressure bears down on tiny blood vessels that supply nutrients to the matrix. Massaging the scalp can increase nutrient absorption to the hair and help loosen sebum deposits at the follicle entrance, contributing to the health of the hair. When the hair gets healthier at the root level, other hair problems often alleviate themselves. And the hair may grow slightly faster as well as a result (slightly).
It is important that the scalp massage is done properly to avoid unnecessary stress to the hair and scalp. Most people massage the scalp using the fingertips, in a scrubbing motion sliding across the scalp surface. This feels great but puts friction on the base of the follicle entrances and pull hairs out.
To massage the scalp properly you should plant the pads of the fingers (where your fingerprints are) and move the scalp tissue over the skull without sliding your fingers across the surface of the scalp. Replant your fingers at different areas again without sliding. The key is to shift the skin, not your hands. If you hear that "crunching hair" sound loudly in your ears you are sliding too much.

yes...it increases the blood circulation:
ead Massage For Fast Hair Growth
A thorough massage is necessary to improve the blood circulation of the scalp. By massaging the scalp the hair follicles are stimulated and the texture of the hair is also enhanced. Massaging activates the nerves and a sense of calmness in the mind ensues. This therapy is useful for people who have routine stress.
Everyday spend about 5-10 minutes massaging your hair with your fingers. Move your fingers circularly all over the head starting from the temporal parts to the occipital area. Apply the necessary pressure to the areas. Even Yoga exercises such as the headstand are recommended for proper circulation to all the parts, especially the hair follicles to stimulate growth.
There are various types of massaging techniques, which can be followed. Indonesian style is best suited for relieving mental tension and improving the quality of the hair. The massaging steps are given below in detail:
1) Stand with your feet apart and start breathing in and out
2) Bend from the waist till the level of your head falls below the waist area.
3) Bring your feet close to each other and start rubbing your scalp with your knuckles all over your head for about half a minute.
4) Slowly start bringing your body to the normal level and continue rubbing on the scalp.
Be careful that when you are massaging your scalp, do not massage roughly. The hair fibers may split causing you pain and damage to the hair. So massage gently and thoroughly.

Yes,. Moisture and messaging your scalp promotes hair growth. You need to use a hair dressing that contains natural herbs and vitamins and apply it to your scalp. Take the balls of your fingers and message it in. This will help the blood circulate which stimulates your hair follicles which promotes hair growth.

It makes sense that if you massage your scalp it will increase flood flow to the scalp and hair roots and hence cause more hair growth.

Yes, stimulating your scalp will help your hair grow faster. You could also use an energizing shampoo. Anything with a tingly sensation is good, or grapefruit or mint.

I have heard that it does but even if it does it probably isn't significant. Taking vitamins will work much better.
