Does going to the salon every 2 weeks grow your hair long?

Question

I've started going to the salon every 2 weeks to get my hair done and take vitamins from vitamin world for hair, skin, and nails. Am i missing something or am i doing the right thing to grow my short hair really healthy and long?

Answer 1

No. Prenatal vitamins will make your hair grow faster. Normally, your hair grows in cycles, and nothing you do increases that. Hair is dead, it can not be made healthy. It can be clean and look healthy.

Answer 2

Taking vitamins may help a little, but going to the salon for a hair cut every two weeks will not. Your hair grows from the scalp, not the ends. The reason why you need to get a hair cut every 4-8 weeks (depending on your hair) is to get rid of split ends which damage your hair, and causes your ends to be thin & break, thus making your hair look like it's not growing. Getting your hair cut every 2 wks is only cutting off what's growing, your hair will stay the same length if you keep that up. Another thing that may help is to massage your scalp, it stimulates it, which may help your hair to grow a little bit faster.

Answer 3

I just answered a similar question :) Taking vitamins is a good way of ensuring that your hair and nails are in good condition (including prenatal vitamins).. but on average hair grows only 1/2 per month and you can't really change that. It's always a good idea to get trims to keep off split ends - don't do a lot of stuff to your hair that would ruin it like putting chemicals on it (hair color or highlights) or HEAT STYLING (that includes straight irons, blow dryers, and curling irons)... outside of that there really isn't anything else that you can do to grow your hair long and healthy. Hang in there and be patient -- your hair WILL grow :)

What are they doing to your hair every 2 weeks? You shouldn't need trimming that often, are they conditioning it for you?
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.

Hair loss affects both men and women. Here are some natural remedies that can help boost hair growth: https://bitly.im/aL9VD While genetics plays a role, there are other factors, including: hormonal imbalances, an underactive thyroid gland, nutrient deficiencies and insufficient scalp circulation.

Answer 6

You're doing good. Getting your hair trimmed every two weeks helps keep split ends in check, so your hair is healthier. Healthier hair grows longer faster. I'm trying to grow my hair out, too. Good luck!:)

Answer 7

No, but it makes your wallet empty. They have shampoo that will help with that, it has a horse on the bottle, I think thats the one, go look around for some, it would be cheaper!!! Good Luck!!

Answer 8

i always would of thought the second it grows it's beeing cut off again at the rate you are getting it trimmed - maybe every 4 weeks would have been a better choice?

Answer 10

i guess it does.. but if you want to grow your hair longer, then dont wash your hair every day wash it every 2 days because if you take shower hair everyday and wash your hair, if doesnt help you hair to grow but instead just cut like 1 inch every week that will help your hair grow faster and longer :]
