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

I've tried this myself and it works...You can buy Biotin capsules at Wal Mart. Take as suggested on the side of the bottle. I became interested in it because it's what Vets recommend for strengthing a horses hooves and it helps their manes grow. After taking Biotin, I noticed my hair and nails grew faster. And it's cheap! Pre natal vitamins are another affordable alternative. Another thing, lay off any hair treatments, i.e., perms, colors, etc. Natural hair is healthier hair and won't break as easily. Good luck to you!

Healthy Eating!
Zinc is said to help hair growth
Vitamin E
Eating sea food
snake oil
almond oil
Trimming 1 CM (1/4") every 6 weeks
And depending on your nature, an average person's hair grow about 1cm every 4 weeks! it could be less or more depedning on the person!
And colder weather tend to slow down the growth a bit!

Generally, the speed which your hair grows is determined by your genes but to maximize that, try taking a vitamin that is specifically formulated for hair growth. Keep your scalp very clean so that the follicles do not become clogged. ALso take MSM and drink plenty of water.

I have been doing hot oil conditioning treatments with olive oil. Leave it in for a while for deep conditioning. Also a invest in a very good brush, not too rough on the scalp or hair. I have been eating a lot of seafood this summer, and I have noticed about 3 inches of growth in a couple of months!

Be as healthy as you can. Eat plenty of protein. Eat lots of gelatin. That's what I've always heard.
