Hair grows at about 1/2 inch per month. Nothing you put on it will make it grow faster. Nothing you eat, drink, or take will make it grow faster. Perms, shampoos, oils - none of them will make your hair grow faster.

What applying oil to your hair will do is help keep any growth you get, by reducing breakage. Likewise healthy food can help make your hair stronger, so you don't lose what you've gained.

Healthy hair comes from within. Exercise regularly and eat a healthy well balanced diet. Hair is a dead appendage once it leaves the hair follicle at your scalp so you must be gentle with it and your hair is not going to grow any faster than genetically pre-disposed which, for the majority of humans on the planet, is 1/2 inch per month.

Unfortunately, there is no quick fix for growing hair or repairing damaged hair. First, you need to be very careful about how you treat it. Stop using any harsh products on your hair. Avoid gels/sprays with alchohol. Use shampoo for dry/damaged hair and a good conditoner. You should also try not to die it anymore until it grows out. Be gentle when you brush/comb so as not to cause more split ends. Continue to get regular trims. I know this sounds like the opposite of what you should do but regular trims keep split ends from getting worse. Good nutrition will help over time. They also make a daily vitamine especially designed to promote hair and nail growth. If you must color your hair while it's growing out, try a semi-perminate color. It will not be able to lighten your hair, only darken it, but depending on the kinds of colors you've been using it may be able to blend your roots a bit.

I hate to be a wet blanket, but I don't believe any of this. I think you can make your hair and nails healthier if you are deficient in some vitamins or have had health problems, but I don't believe you can make hair or nails grow any faster no matter what you do.

Deeli is absolutely correct. Hair and nails grow at a steady pace, and there is nothing you can do to make them grow faster. Any internet site that tells you otherwise is spouting nonsense.

Listerine for Promoting Hair Growth

What are you all talking about is a candida over-growth. The Listerine & the vinegar will both kill it, but if your scalp has it, you'd do better to attack it from the inside. Candida can cause many awful things. The least of which is a bad scalp. I'd look up on the net, candida signs & symptoms, then see if anything else fits. It isn't something you want to ignore.

Hair grows at its own rate - about 1/2 an inch a month, I think. There is nothing you can do to make it grow faster. Nothing.

You can set your wet hair on rollers, and dry it with a hair dryer like they used to years ago, or just let it air dry. If you want a permanent curl, you have to get a perm, and the home perms work fine, but, of course, they are stinky.

A curling iron is by far the simplest method to curl your hair. I preferred a butane one, but electric is good.

Growing Hair Quickly

I'm a boy and I have short hair, lets say 5 inches. Can somebody please tell me how I can grow my hair longer, like at least 3-6 inches longer before the beginning of October? Please and thank you.

RE: Growing Hair Quickly

I'm afraid you're going to be very disappointed with this answer. Hair only grows about a half inch per month. It would take you 6 to 12 months to grow your hair 3 to 6 inches longer. Why do you need your hair to be so long by October? There are hair styling salons that can put extensions in, but I think that's pretty expensive to do. (09/05/2008)

RE: Growing Hair Quickly

There are many kinds of fairly inexpensive fake hair items that you can use. Something called a "fall" can be attached to your real hair on the back of your head and will blend in fairly well. I wore one for a few months like that and it was easy to put on, and it looked good. (09/05/2008)

By londa

RE: Growing Hair Quickly

Sorry, but nothing you eat or do to your hair will help. Half an inch per month is the rate for all of us except slower for those who are malnourished or very stressed, such as late pregnancy. (09/05/2008)

By kimhis

RE: Growing Hair Quickly

I agree that you can't grow your hair more than about 1/2" by early October. On the other hand, if your hair has any curl, you may be able to make it look a bit longer by putting a styling product in your damp hair, combing it out straight, and letting it air dry. I should add that I personally prefer guys with short hair! (09/06/2008)

Brush your hair, by massaging your scalp (brushing), it stimulates growth. (09/06/2008)

By Starchild in VT

RE: Growing Hair Quickly

Very ambitious of you! Like someone else posted it does take time to grow hair and extensions might be an option, although very expensive. I have great hair genes and mine grows really fast. I do stimulate the hair follicle daily by brushing in the opposite direction (flip head over, brush back to front) and stimulate the scalp with an olive oil and peppermint, or rosemary extracts (shampoo after). Hope that helps. (09/09/2008)

RE: Growing Hair Quickly

Try vitamins and horsetail extract and shampoo and conditioner that contains horsetail. My hair grows faster than normal when I use Mane 'n Tail. (09/18/2008)

By Anonymous

RE: Growing Hair Quickly

Dude, as another guy who grows his hair long, take my advice. I grew my bangs out long to get the scene/emo look. To get your hair longer, use Mane n Tail shampoo. People say it doesn't work, but forget them, it works. Omega 3 vitamins help (but can result in gaseous results XD) and keeping it healthy by letting it air dry. Shampooing it every day can dry it out, so do this every other day and condition every day. Thus, keeping it healthier.

Massaging the scalp really helps as everyone says: increased blood flow will help. Getting a trim to get rid of damaged hair is one of the best things that helps, stop the damage before it gets all the way down to your roots. Following these steps will help you greatly and I hope you get that sweet long hair soon. (10/19/2008)

RE: Growing Hair Quickly

Hair grows for the majority of people 1/2 inch a month on average for those with no health issues. No amount of change in diet, vitamins, pills or hair creams is going to change the fact that everyone's amount of hair growth is genetically predisposed. If you are told otherwise you are being told old wives tales or someone is trying to help line the pocket of companies who make oodles of money touting their wares that don't work. What you can do is be gentle with your hair and keep the ends trimmed regularly to keep the split ends at bay.

If you do have health issues, and especially if you take medications, talk to your doctor about possibly using B2 or B Complex which will help regulate metabolism. (02/28/2011)

By Deeli

RE: Growing Hair Quickly

Keep a healthy diet, use of multivitamins and trim it monthly. My hair was cut 1 inch per month, hair dresser kept track, cut it 12 inches in a year to the same length. My hair at age 56 still grows 1 inch per month. Healthy, shiny. Only razor cuts, not scissors I find keeps my healthy hair fantastic! I am a lap swimmer, wear a cap, but can wash my hair up to 3 times a day in the summer. Can't stress the conditioners--any kind--before water play or sun. Even your hair gets sun stressed.
