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.

There isn't a product out there that will make your hair grow long and fast quickly. However, there are some steps that you can take to ensure your hair to grow and be healthy so it doesn't break off:
1) Washing your hair every week makes the follicles clean that way your hair will grow faster because there is no product build up that is blocking it. This also lessens the amount of products that you think needs to be in your hair.
2) Eat healthier and take vitamins. Eat more protein and vegetables they are good in reconstructing the hair to be more stronger, and water keeps the moisture in the hair.
3) Wear your hair in no contact style to keep it from brushing against your clothes too often. M-W wear it out, T- Sun where it up (In reference to the days of the week)
4) If you need to retouch try to extend it from every month to every 2 months.
I know this is hard, but its also the cold hard truth. The results are remarkable though if you have time follow these steps.
