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

first off put down the straighteners it sounds as if you are over processing your hair but straightening it a lot. If your hair is naturally curly trying wearing it natural every once in a while and give it a break from the heat. Healthy hair grows much faster than unhealthy hair also try using a deep conditioner to help restore some of the moisture loss to straightening it.

As you know curly hair takes a lot longer to show growth. keep the ends healthy with conditioning products and straighten it less often to minimize the damage. Basically you have to be patient that's all. I cut my curly hair short like two years ago and it is only now reaching the base of my neck WITHOUT being stretched out.

that's a lie. i've got been straightening my hair every day for 3 years and my hair grows approximately 3 to 4 inches a year. Your hair will probably advance slower when you consider which you're probably getting greater chop up ends yet your hair won't thoroughly stop turning out to be.

If I am hearing you right... the heat from straightening with an iron is breaking your hair off at the same rate of growth... heat is bad for the hair... get a product that states it protects hair from irons and blowdryers... Next, all hair when wet will reverts back to it'soriginal form... Hope this helps...

just be patient...i have super curly hair and i got it cut a while and it doesn't look any longer but that's just because its curly! i also straighten mine and you might encounter the issue of fried hair? i use this CHI silk infusion stuff that looks like olive oil, works great and only needs to be used in small amounts at a time!

Protein helps your hair grow. Get a shampoo and conditioner rich in protein.
