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.

take vitamin b and eat omega 3 ( fish etc) regular trims will not make it grow but will stop split ends travelling up your hair. thickening products just swell the hair shaft, making it appear thicker so dont bother with those. massaging the head does encourage growth and an old wives tale says that heat helps it grow, good luck!

Explain the position to the hair stylist before they start and tell them you want them to place the hair they cut off, in the palm of your hand as they trim "Just the ends". Once they realise they are going to be watched like a hawk they will not be "Scissor Happy"

Getting it trimmed keeps it looking tidy whatever the length, but washing everyday will not make it grow any quicker (although it WILL be clean) as for putting it in a pony tail, well if it is long enough to do that, what's your flippin problem??????

Hair grows swifter in the summertime than in the wintry climate. in the adventure that your transforming into your hair out that's a sturdy thought to get commonly used trims on your hair, don't have been given to a scissor happy cosmetologist and have it trimmed each and every 2 months extremely of each and each month. have you ever heard every physique say "i've got not decrease my hair in a 365 days despite the fact that it merely wont improve" that's not genuine the hair is transforming into t is merely breaking off as quickly as that's transforming into. once you get a cut up end and don't trim it off the cut up can cut up the hair one million/2 way up the hair strand. this provides the visual allure that your hair in not transforming into. save the hair conditioned and get commonly used trims.

Hi,
if your trying to grow your hair longer eat, healthily, drink plenty of water and take extra vitamines, the ones that really help are B vitmines, Zinc, Biotin and magnesium. if you are interested, there are also herbal tablets you can take aswell that can aid hair growth, for example horsetail extract which is full of silica. sillica is great for cell growth eg, in hair and nails

massaging your scalp daily helps stimulate the hair folicles
also i've been taking biotin, and my hair has been growing a lot faster.
trimming your hair will help it look healthier, but it wont do anything to promote hair growth.
