What works better to grow hair?

Question

Loreal Paris "Long and Strong" Shampoo or a product in a store that says "hair growth" and contains oils, vitamin e, etc...

Answer 1

Lots of vitamins, like vitamin k, b. There are lots of multi vitamins you can get for your hair and nails. Check with your dr though before you start taking them.

Answer 2

The best way to get your hair to grow (as well as your nails) is to take prenatal vitamins. Trust me, my daughter is a little over 2yrs old and I still take them. Plus, you get the health benefit too.

All of the products for your hair that say "long and strong" or fortified with various oils and vitamins only reinforce the existing hair. They don't make your hair grow. They may help prevent split ends or dullness. Internal nutrition is the only way to make you hair grow.

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

Most health stores sell Silica Horse Hair Rush Herb, it's a herb all natural and you take it for a couple of weeks it grows out hair and thickens in and you can also try going to your local beauty supply and get some carrot oil that also helps.

Answer 5

a healthy diet and proper hair care abstain from using too many styling aids and accessories that pull the hair. Avoid using heat (curling/flat irons etc) and a triming split ends is what works to grow hair
