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. Even though I took these GNC pills for 4 months, I wouldn't recommend them because they are not the most high quality pills available.
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.

vitamin E along with daily vitamins will help it grow a bit faster as well as keeping it clean with a good conditioner (shampoos are basically all the same and feel free to go with a cheap one) also there is stuff in the hair aisle that is made for african americans (i cant think of the name) but people sware by it that it makes the hair grow faster... beware though... it also makes it look greasy
Also note that cutting the split ends off your hair will NOT make it grow faster, actually just leave them be till your ready to cut your hair.

1. Get a trim atleast every three months. This will reduce breakage up the hair strand and allow it to grow more and not breakout.
2. Take calcium pills, increase your intake or calcium, protiens, and healthy fats and oils (Milk & Fish). The calcium will strengthen your hair, preventing breakage. The proteins and healthy fats and oils will promote more growth.
3. Before you get in the shower, flip your head upside down and massage for one to three minutes. It will help to increase the bloodflow to your head and increase hair growth.

You cannot. I have asked that question many times and people tell me a variety of answers. Take a lot of vitamin supplements, like calcium and vitamin E. Exercise and eat healthy. Don't wash your hair too much because that will dry them out. Don't use a lot of chemicals in your hair or else it will get damaged.

actualy you need to pull your toe nails. Pull real hard. The faster your toe nails grow the faster your hair grows. Pull hair too. Good luck. Let me know when you need a haircut,

I'm going to agree with leazngurl. I don't think you can, but certain vitamins and good haircare should at least keep it from splitting etc.
