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.

Don't we all wish that was possible?! Humans' hair on average grows about a half an inch per month. The best you can do is trim it to keep the split ends off so it stays healthy. The less you use styling equipment, (hair dryers, straighteners...) the healthier your hair will be, also. And try not to use color or lighten your hair too often, either. If you must color it, try just touching up the roots every month or so when it's time. Maybe consult a stylist for the best products for your hair so you can make the best of it until you've reached your desired length. A little tip incase you didn't know: rinsing hair in cool water will make it appear shinier. Warm or hot water expands the hair follicles which make them go against light and make your hair look more dull.

Believe it or not.....get it trimmed every so often.
If you let your hair grow long it can develop split ends.Split ends will "travel" up the hair strands,and cause them to break off.
Getting a trim from time to time (depending on how fast your hair grows) will stop split ends.
Your hair won't really grow faster,but it will get longer faster because split ends can travel up a strand of hair faster than the hair actually grows.

I dont really know..But from what i have heard..If you brush it alot every night then it has a good possibility of growing.
Also...they make calcium pills that you can take to help make your hair grow faster. Just search "hair growth calcium pills" on Google and see what comes up. Hope it helps. =)

You really can't make it grow any faster. Keep it healthy and get your hair trimmed regularly (every 4-6 weeks). You could also take pre-natal vitamins.

If you are a girl... Take prenatal pills. Any over the counter brand. These aren't only for pregnant woman. You do not have to be pregnant to take them. They will not make you get pregnant or anything like that. They will however make your hair and nails really healthy and help the growth process extensivley.

Prenatal vitamins. They work great on hair, skin and nails. You can buy them cheap at wal-mart.
