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
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.

Surprisingly, by cutting it more often then usual. This happens because when you cut it, the dead ends are cut off and it can grow more quickly. Also, you can use a shampoo that enriches it with vitamins and eat nutritious meals to keep your hair healthy. If you do all these, your hair should be much longer in no time!!!!

Buy a Farmer's Almanac (in the magazine section of grocery/discount store)...It will tell you when the best times to cut your hair (to make it grow faster OR slower) according to the phases of the moon.
I've also heard that eating Jell-o is good for your hair and nails because of the gelatin.

You can't make your hair grow faster no matter what products you use. Your hair grows at a certain rate, and that is that. The best advice is just not to cut it, get trims only when you "HAVE" to! Vitamins & things can help your hair be healthy & shiny, but nothing absolutly nothing can make it grow faster.... get extentions if you can't wait for your hair to grow!

I use Biotin, Doo Gro and Kemy Oil plus too much stuff to type.
Go to longhair.com to see ideas for what other real women use. My hair has grown about 5 inches in the past year. I believe the real trick is conditioning. Invest in a good leave in conditioner-Only the doo gro doesn't break me out.
Good Luck

my hair dresser suggest cutting your hair more often. like shaving, the more u shave, the quicker the hair grows back. cut BARELY the tips of everday(or like once every 2 days) and by the end of the month u should be able to grow ur hair out at least 40% quicker.

prenatal vitamins. I am a hair dresser and I swear by these things. ALSO, when your washing your hair be sure to stimulate (massage) a lot at your scalp. The stimulation can speed up your hair growth...
