I have been taking hair supplements for the past 3 years and here is what I have found.
GNC makes a tablet called "Ultra Nourishair" in formulas for men and women, the pills are taken daily, 2 pills a day. They are HUGE and very hard to swallow, if you have any trouble at all with large tablets, then I wouldn't recommend these. The 2 pills also contain only 1200 micrograms total of Biotin, which is the main supplement needed for hair to grow faster and stronger. You should try to get a minimum of 2500 micrograms of Biotin daily to improve hair's rate of growth and its condition.
ProCaps labs makes a great supplement called "Hair Skin and Nails" formula, here is the link for that
http://www.procapslabs.com/pcl/pages/pro...
This is in capsule form and much easier to swallow. This company, ProCaps labs is also extremely reputable and carries pure and effective products.
I took GNC's Nourishair for four months, and supplemented it with extra Biotin tablets daily due to its low Biotin content. I took 2500 micrograms extra Biotin with the GNC pills.
The Procaps hair vites have 2500 micrograms of Biotin in them, and don't really require extra Biotin be taken, but I do take an additional 2500 micrograms of Biotin for a daily total of 5000 micrograms of Biotin.
My hair is growing in thick and dark and quite quickly. My hair used to be very slow growing, but all of these supplements have really made a difference.
The only way to really change the health of your hair is by taking supplements that work internally on the follicle where hair is made, any shampoos or oils or other topically applied things do nothing to change hair's structure, that can only happen with systemically provided support, which means supplements that you take internally.. Keep in mind, regardless of how many or how much you take of any supplement, hair is never going to grow at a "Jack and the beanstalk" type of rate, the most you can hope for is to improve the strength and health of each hair follicle and to see an incremental increase in the rate of its growth.

There is always debate whether vitamin e is a truly effective supplement, so I am not too sure that will help you hair grow more rapidly, and if you take a multivitamin that should suffice. Fish oil or omega-3 pills might help. My sister took these when she got a really bad haircut and wanted it to grow back as fast as it could. I can't recall how quickly her hair grew, but I remember it was very shiny, which is always a good thing.

Hair is actual Karetin a form or protien. If you take pre natal vitamins this should help, as well as a good quality source of protien. Most peoples hair grows an avareg of 1/4 to 1/2 inch per month.

GNC has a vitamin called 'Hair,Skin,And Nails' that works really well. Also prenatal vitamins work wonders also. Make sure you are getting something with keratin,gelatin,and vitamin e in it.

Well, this is not really a very scientific answer but based on experience, Asian remedies (Chinese and Korean) work well. You have to be careful though, and ask the clerk how to use it and what the precautions are since genuine remedies will have Chinese instructions. Try Chinatown!
