I have moderately short hair and I want it to grow longer fast. Any ideas on how to make this happen?

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

There is only one way to grow your hair fast: don't cut it. Hold off on cutting it as long as you can stand it. Trimming your hair does NOT make it grow faster - that is a myth.

You must trim off all *split ends* before starting to grow out your hair. Split ends continue splitting up the hair shaft, causing breakage which creates shorter hair. If your hair is damaged it might seem like it's not growing, but what's really happening is that it's breaking off faster than it's growing.

Once you have the split ends trimmed off, you're ready to start *growing*. That means *no cutting* and preventing split ends.

To keep your hair from getting damaged in the meantime and to prevent split ends, minimize your use of shampoo. Shampoo is verrrry drying and damages your hair more than blowdrying or hotirons! If you must clean your hair daily, try using only conditioner to get it clean. You can use shampoo every other or third day.

You'll need to be creative in dealing with your hair until it grows to the desired length. Getting bangs or a fringe can be a great strategy, because they make your hair always look "done" no matter what's going on with the rest of it. And, you can always get a tidy look by pulling it back into a pony (as soon as it's long enough).

This is how I grew my own hair from a short pixie to past my shoulders in less than a year.

Hope that helps -- please, don't fall for the every-six-weeks-trim concept. Your hair will never grow long that way :(

The hair is not just a part of your body and it is a symbol of beauty, status and health. It is important for you to take proper care of your health in order to prevent early hair loss. Learn here https://bitly.im/aMKsZ It is not a very serious problem and with a little bit of caution you will be able to prevent further hair loss. There are certain uncontrollable factors like pregnancy conditions or certain illness or genetic factors that will result in hair loss. But, this does not mean that you cannot do something about your hair loss.

Yeah trim it and don't put no hot iron on your hair for about a month, and try using hair skin nail pills that seem to work to.

Surprisingly, trimming it will make it grow faster. There are no shampoos or products to make it grow faster. It's based on your hereditary but trimming it every six weeks will make it grow faster.
