    My sister used to put a few drops of pure rosemary oil in her conditioner and she swore that this was why her hair was so long, thick and lovely.

    After I had my little one I was having problems with my hair falling out. I started taking Biotin 5000 mcg a day and it has really helped. My hair is now shiny and has grown faster then it ever has before. You can get it a health food stores or even places like Walmart.

    Futurebiotics vitamins/minerals for hair skin and nails (has biotin in it). These are a full body vitamin mineral supplement. If you choose to take them, add about 700 MSM a day also. Otherwise, someone suggested a certain does of biotin if you want to just use biotin.

    They are just vitamins, no hormones. There's nothing in there that wouldn't also be healthy for a man.

    This may sound crazy- but I swear my hair grows faster when I am colder...(as a woman- I shave about 2 times a week in the winter, but now that I lost weight and I am colder from less body fat- I find I could shave more frequently) I also take fish oil capsules to help with prevention of joint pain - I was told that it may help with hair growth and the follicles- don't know if this is true though.

    hmmmmm. the average person's hair grows 6 inches in a year. I do not think you can really make it grow faster. The best you can do is take care of it so it doesn't break off or become too damaged:

    1. avoid heat styling to the extent possible
    2. braid NOT ponytail for sleeping (ponies can cause breakage at the front hairline and at the point where the elastic is, plus damage when you pull them out.
    3. never force an elastic up by separating pony and pulling.
    4. search and destroy split ends (tiny trimmers).
    5. don't bleach, perm, straighten, chemically process
    6. no extensions
    7. be gentle when wet -- don't rip a brush through; start at the bottom and work up carefully, preferably with a comb (personally, I have too much hair for a comb, but this is what the "experts" tell you).

    It's hard to wait, but, that's about all you can do.

    blessings.

    Fish Oil and Biotin. They have worked great for me.

    A warm oil scalp massage. A scalp massage will boost blood circulation, making your hair grow faster and stronger. I recommend using coconut, jojoba or almond oil. These oils in particular are great for your hair and skin.

    Olive oil and banana blend, put all over your head then add hot towel. Leave on a few minutes then wash as normal.

    I have egg whites for breakfast and started using the yolks as a hair treatment (4 yolks- 1- every 2weeks) that made my hair really healthy and shinny (NOT GREASY). It's supposed to be really good for your scalp too. Also recommend prenatal and Biotin vitamins.

    Don't wash it and don't straighten/blow dry/curl/anything that can cause heat damage to your hair. It might sound gross but seriously wash it as least often as you can.
