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

I've never had to wear extentions so I don't know much about them, but I've had long hair for a long time and it grows very fast. If you perm or bleach your hair, stop, the more damaged it is, the slower it will grow. If you color your hair, try using a semi-permanent color, it lasts about a month and it will not damage your hair at all. Use a conditioner daily and use a deep conditioner every week. Don't blow-dry if you can avoid it, keep heat to a minimum. I've heard if you pull your hair back, it helps it grow too, but I can't back that one up. Oh and of course, eat right, get plenty of water, and avoid drugs and alcohol to be healthy in general.

it depends on your race. with black people it takes quite a while to grow it out since it's very curly. try trimming the tips every two weeks, wash at least once a week and use lots of conditioner to avoid drying and breaking. also use a good perming relaxer once every six weeks. don't fix anything on your hair, just wear your natural hair and do the steps listed above for about a year, you will see the difference. i hope you are black, those steps will only work for blacks

Massaging the scalp causes hair to grow faster. Also, getting trimmed every so often helps. Oh, and to not be like my friend who cuts it to her shoulders then complains that she can't grow it out when it was almost down to her waist.
