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

Hair growth is a genetic thing. You can not put products on your hair that will make it grow faster. You can, however, use products that help to keep it healthy, and you can help your hair growth stay at it's maximum speed for your own head by eating a healthy diet and staying as generally healthy as possible. Lustrous long hair is very pretty, but so is lustrous short hair! The only thing that will help hair growth aside from health is time. Good luck from a mom who has very short hair with a daughter who has hair down to her waist (watch out for hair in the drain!).

There are herbal combinations that you can take that will make your hair grow faster. As funny as it sounds, the herb called "Horsetail" is the best. It has a lot of silicone in it and it helps your finger nails as well. My daughter took this when she cut her hair and wanted it to grow back quickly and it really worked. Go to a vitamin or herb shop and ask for a good combination for hair growth. You should take a good multiple vitamin too.

OLIVE OIL. I swear by it. My hair used to be butt length before I cut it, but it made it grow extremely fast and it stayed moisturized. But, keep in mind, hair grows slower in the wintertime, so don't stress. Hair does grow twice as fast in humid places, so maybe it's an excuse to go on vacation to Hawaii or South France. [My hair grew 4 inches in two months!]

Massage your scalp and eat healthy and wait for time. Only proven way. Sorry, creams and pills do not work, that's just a gimmic so the companies who make it earn some cash...
