How to achieve longer hair?

Question

I'm an african american with short hair but, I want longer, stronger hair. How can I achieve this without getting braids?

Answer 1

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

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.

Answer 2

Use garnier fructise long and strong fortifying shampoo and conditioner, or Maine and Tail works to grow out hair, Brush or comb it often, it "wakes up" the hair folicles and somehow makes the hair grow... I read that in a book so you can believe that it's true. Also, putting it up in a tightly- twisted bun often works. Make sure you get a trim once in a while so your hair stays healthy and strong. Use a hair complex formula that you can find at walgreens, cvs,k kmart, etc. I also recommend treating hair with olive oil once a week. It works for me. These work on any kind of hair. And this sounds gross, and I dont know if I would try it, but I've heard that mayonaise for 1 hour about once a week works on making hair shiney and strong. Good luck!

a million. placed your hair in a ponytail prime or low. two. twirl the horse tail tight however no longer too tight. three. start closest to the pinnacle wraping the ponytail within the circle utilising bobby pins to at ease as you wrap until the tip of the horse tail. four. then tuck finally very smartly with the pins. five. appear for any unfastened hair and pin as good. 6.Add a few barrettes on one part for a little bit glamor :)
