no.
i think this myth came because it is true that massaging the scalp helps stimulate blood flow to your hair cells which can help your hair to grow.
but diet plays a big part. certain viamins and lots of water help hair to grow. i don't know the vitamins though.
and depending on your hair type too much washing will dry it out and make your hair break off.

I have been taking hair supplements for the past 3 years and here is what I have found.
ProCaps labs makes a great supplement called "Hair Skin and Nails" formula, here is the link for that
http://www.procapslabs.com/pcl/pages/pro...
This is in capsule form and easy 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

no.
in fact your hair will be healthier with less frequent washings (every second day or third if you can get away with it). Your natural oils will stay on the hair longer keeping it from looking dry and split.

Hair has growth spurts at specific circumstances of the twelve months, and then the growth is amazingly sluggish. putting oil into shampoo, i could have thought is a bad thought, because of the fact shampoo is supposd to disolve oil/grease, so the oil and the shampoo is probably ineffective now if it even could have labored interior the 1st place (yet doubt it, you dont choose any specific style of oil, purely use coconut oil)

If anything, it stunts it.
Hair is very delicate and you are actually supposed to only wash it evry other day is you dont want to damage it. And once your hair is damaged, for example fried or dry, it will not grow as quickly.

No, that's not true. It's just a myth.
