What can make your hair grow long, just before September? Can you lay down some tips like: when to wash it everyday, what shampoo really works and, if my hair is at my shoulders then if I really take care of my hair, what would be my new length (your estimate).

I have hair that is about to the top of my bra, and its not that my hair isnt growing but in January I dyed the bottom half blond and the top half brown. i would really like my natural hair colour back. I want to use all natural ingredients. Is there anything I can use that might just be laying around my house that will make it grow. FAST.? Also I have straight bangs, and they always seem to be greasy, and full of dandruff. how can i get rid of this? I do not want to damage my hair and that's why I want to use natural ingredients and I've heard olive oil, and I have tried it. I've tried just about everything, and nothing seems to be working. Some one please respond.

Trust me, I have had six kids, had shoulder lenght hair. I didn't take prenatal pills for six of my kids, with my fourth child my doctor said I no choice but to take the prenatal pills for my 4th child, let me tell my hair grow from shoulder length to waist length in nine months. It was crazy, I couldn't believe it. It really works!

grapeseed supplements
vitamin B
omega-3 (fish oil supplements)
massage your scalp (for circulation)
massage castor oil into your hair
COMB your hair, dont brush it
use conditioners
use as little products as you can in your hair eg. gel hair spray
try not to iron your hair too much
trim the SPLIT ENDS only off your hair every few months

I've read all the comments and there are a few tips that are constantly being mentioned which I'm gonna try out for my self. I'm 16 years old and have been growing my hair for the past 9 months and yes I've noticed some progress but it's still not the length I that I want. I'm lucky that I don't get split ends, I think that has something to do with genetics though, but I also do eat a lot of protein and straighten my hair only once a week. I have never actually used any conditioner in my hair ever but I think that I might start as it is winter.

For all those who have recently gotten a bad haircut all i can say is just let it grow or try and make your current hairstyle work believe me i have been through my fair share of bad haircuts,the less attention you bring to it the easier it is to get over.Also i would recommend using these hair tips,it couldnt hurt. . although personaly i wouldnt take any pills.

Hi, I have some advice for you guys. My hair was really short and it was that way. For years it would never grow and I was really upset. I always wanted long hair. I started using Mane And Tail horse shampoo, you can get it at Walmart or at Sally's beauty supply stores and it works. But the problem with me is that everyone says not to wash it everyday but my scalp gets greasy. I don't but my hair is dry. It's weird. But i also deep condition it a couple times a week and take vitamins everyday.

My sister told me prenatal pills work and they help make you really healthy too. My friend tried to tell me you cant take then unless your pregnant but that's not true, they just help make you healthy and make your nails and hair grow faster.

I also don't brush my hair, I use a comb because brushing damages it. Also don't dye it or straighten it a lot. Try to only use your straightener when you absolutely need to or you're going somewhere important. If you're like me, my hair looks horrible when I don't dry it or straighten it but I try not to when I'm not going anywhere. If your hair is fine, you shouldn't have it set higher than 370 degrees F, that is the worst.

Hope this helps and if you have any advice for me, let me know.

I have a long, black, shiny hair. My tips: do not shampoo your hair everyday (a conditioner may help but not to be used everyday also). Do not comb your hair when still wet, brush your hair every morning before taking a bath and before you sleep, and avoid ponytails often.

OKAY I have a couple Tips.

1- Brush your hair when ever you get the chance. Do not brush when your hair is wet. This creates split ends. When you brush your hair it moves your the hair around the scalp, like you know when you shave your legs (girls) or your face (guys). You rub the skin where you shaved...and like 30 minutes maybe you can already feel hairs. The same works for your hair on your head.

2- Guys(maybe girls) Shave your head real close. If your hair is thin and it's already short just shave it. Not only will your hair be THICKER, but I don't know about girls, but for guys shaving your head isn't that bad, it basically grows back with about a inch after the first 2 weeks, and it doesn't look bad.

3-Eat a lot of JELLO. Its NOT gonna make you fat. And it makes your hair grow faster and your nails grow not only fast but stronger so they don't break as easy. :D So like a spoon of Jello in a cup of warm water and drink it, or put it in the fridge and make actual jello. They both work.

4- Theres plenty of ways to have good healthy hair but it all starts out with a good diet, but I'm not going to get into that because thats a whole different subject. Hope this helped.

I recently cut my hair to the style of Rihanna, We look a bit alike and I'm 19 so why not right? Well, I like to change my look every now and again, so of course I'm a bit bored with it, I have been growing my hair for about 5 months, and I've been using DR. Miracle's and it really works. Every time I use the hot gro oil and the red serum
at the same time. I relax my hair three weeks later
each time, I do that every three weeks, over and over and it's always at least two inches longer in just
3 weeks! I'm very happy with the results. But to give my hair a boost I think I'll try the 5 thousand milligrams of biotin too! It can't hurt. My hair grows fast! Use Dr. Miracle's People!

I'm 14 and going to be in high school after this summer and I love getting wild hair cuts, its who I am but recently the lady messed my hair up so bad I looked like a guy. Everyone at school called me a boy. It was terrible. There's probably no way of getting hair to grow it's just all in your head. Let nature take its course but you should eat healthy everyday and exercise. But don't let people get to you, it's just hair it will grow back don't let anyone in the way of making you happy.

My hair was down to below my breasts, and I cut it off to about an inch below my chin and dyed it bleach blond straight from brown. About two and a half months ago my hair is now 2 inches past my shoulders so way longer my hair is very thick and grows at a normal rate not all THAT fast.

Here's what I did; take about five thousand milligrams of biotin a day (no this will not hurt you I have a cosmo license) and use mane n tail horse shampoo every other day and drink a lot of water.

There is also a cheaper shampoo called silk solutions which also works. When you buy shampoos or conditioners anything with quaternium-80 in it will boost hair growth. So look for that. Other than that I have found my customers that don't straighten/curl their hair everyday have faster hair growth. So try to do that once or twice a week to let it grow if your hair looks horrible not straightened(like mine). Throwing it up in a pony tail and not putting heat on it will not hurt your hair. Just make sure its dry not wet. :))) ashley.

I never had a problem growing hair. Being African American woman I keep my hair moisturize all year long. I love to keep it trimmed. Really I would love to tell my secret, but all I can't say. Use JOJABA every other day. Every three weeks when you wash hair (Organic Roots Products) get toothbrush in troubled areas scrub so scalp can get get circulation. Follow with hair mayo.

When I was about 13 years old my hair began to fall out drastically. I would take a shower and my hair would fall out in bunches. I used to have curly hair and it looked like goldy locks hair. It was the same color, too. I had very little hair left so I cut it up to about my shoulders. Now I am 16 and my hair has not re-established. My hair grew but it was very frizzy and ugly so I cut it again because I get a lot of split ends. So now I have my hair up to my shoulders again. It is bad.

HELP!

So my hair isn't too short, and isn't very long, but I recently cut my own bangs and I absolutely hate it! I realized that my hair would look much better longer, and I'm longing for something to make my hair longer. I heard about horsetail pills, and I'm thinking about it, but does it actually work? I'm also trying the hair pulling technique right now as we speak haha. so I'm not sure about that right now. Is there some sort of shampoo to make it grow quicker? I tried looking for something, but nothing so far.

I was told by my friend who is from china that she uses milk in the shower. She pours a glass of milk in her hair once a week and leaves it in for about five minutes and that is how she got her hair to grow. Also, She would wear it in a braid to help it grow. Worked for her.

I am pregnant and the prenatal vitamins that my doctor prescribed me were huge horse pills so i had a really difficult time taking them daily so I asked my obgyn (pregnancy doctor) what I could do about that and she told me taking 2 flintstones chewables a day would be fine. They have made my hair and nails grow.

Most of the comments that I've heard relate a lot to genetics. From the time I was born to the age of about 10 my hair reached the middle of my back. Ever since then my hair has been breaking off drastically. Now, I'm 18 and my hair barely touches my shoulder. So based on genetics, if I continue to take care of my hair, will it go back to the length it was when I was younger?

Alot of people say that hair grows at a steady rate each month but this simply just came be true! I don't know why they say it when there are clearly a number of people out there who's hair grow at a rapid pace because if everyones hair grew at the same pace assuming that no one cut their hair or had any deterring factors. People of the same age should have the same length! Yet Thats not the case. Why does hair grow faster for others? Why is it that If two people were to live under the same conditions ones hair would be longer than the other? I really don't understand.

I use Maine & Tail shampoo and conditioner found in the pet isle at wal mart, and it makes my hair thicker and grow faster. I also get the dead and split ends trimmed every 6-8 weeks. If you have split or dead ends, it slows hair growth. Don't wash your hair everyday, it dries it out and also slows hair growth.

A couple of months ago I had a tragic hair accident. I was at a party and while my friends had a pair of scissors in her hand (not trying to get me) she tripped and fell and it just so happened that I tripped along with her. As we both came down the scissors were open and when we fell the scissors closed (and as you had guessed) my long pretty hair was in between the blades as they closed. Not wanting to leave my hair uneven, my mom decided to cut it, not making the situation better. It went from to bra strap to chin length and it did not work. So being a Friday night I wouldn't dare show up to school on Monday with that hair.

So if it is drastic hair growth that you are seeking my best advice would be extensions. They may be a little pricey but you can get shorter ones added over periods of time so the outcome will be more natural.

Okay. Here's my pieces of advice!Practical things that causes hair growth and good hair health:

warmth (summer, steam rooms and so forth)
stimulation to the scalp
getting plenty of nutrients daily
water

My personal experience:

I had cut my hair to my chin one year and was horrified! A couple months later it was still the same length and I was about to leave for WA to go help on a farm (not something that I would normally do but I wanted to get away for awhile). Before I left for WA I went to my hair stylist and she did a conditioning treatment and saw how long my hair was. I went to this farm and was there a month... I came back and my hair had grown at least 2 inches in that month. I believe it to be due to all the vegetables we ate. All we ate was stuff grown in the garden or raised on the farm. We had tons of squash every day and drank lots of water. It was an extremely healthy lifestyle! I came back and all my friends and family were shocked... my hair stylist was amazed.
Aalso in the summer my hair grows much faster then the winter... I believe that to be due to the warm weather.

I have some friends who's hair grows like crazy, an inch or more a month is nothing out of the ordinary. Everyone's hair grows at a different speed. Also those with damaged hair are going to face problems due to hair breakage, but still your hair will grow!

If you can't eat that many veggies each day, try a hair vitamin: I buy mine from the salon I go to. It's called Nioxin. I and my friends have found it works really well. We notice our hair grows a little faster but it also feels healthier when we take these vitamins.

Hope this helps!

Hair grows ca 10mm per month. That's the growth speed and it does not change.
How to get long hair then?

There are two things to think about:

1. Choose the right parents.
As all the people reading this have already been born there is not much to do about this one, but genetics do matter. :-)

2. Leave your hair alone!
Every time you touch your hair, every time you brush it, every time you wash it, every time you pull a t-shirt over your head, every time the wind blows in your hair, every time you lean your head on a pillow, every time you make a pony tail, every time you go swimming, every time you wear a hat, you wear your hair down just a little.

If you want to speed up that process you can also dye it, perm it, blow-dry it, drench it in hair spray, and cut it often (this last one should be labeled with a big fat "DUH!", but there really are people who believe that cutting hair off will make it longer!).

Each hair grows for about four years, and then it sits there at its full length for another two years. Imagine that you had a garment that you wore all the time, in every activity, when you sleep, eat, bathe, work, wrestle with dogs (or boyfriends), etc, and which went with you in the most extreme weather (from the coldest winter days to the hottest summer days, even into saunas), AND you had to wear it for six years! Anything made of cotton or wool or polyester would not last that long, but your hair has to.

Of course, you do need to comb your hair occasionally, because some of the other things that wear it down make it messy, which also wears it down. You usually don't need to comb it more than once a day, in the morning (after lifting your head off that wonderful but damaging pillow). Don't stand brush-brush-brush-brushing it for five minutes (you might as well rub it with sand paper, the benefit would be the same), just use a comb to untangle it.

Putting your hair in a bun or a hair net or plaits might protect it from some kinds of wear.

Whatever you do, DO NOT WASH YOUR HAIR EVERY DAY! Once a week, with a little mild shampoo (no conditioner or other "treatments") is quite enough. Let it air dry at its own pace. Only use a hairdryer if you have to, e.g. because you have to go out into cold weather before it has time to dry, a little planning ahead can usually help avoid that kind of situation.

Hard water is bad for your hair. Especially if there is also a lot of iron in it (this is bitter personal experience talking). If you have "bad hair water" it might be a good idea to wash your hair somewhere else, e.g. at school.

The trimming will make it shorter, but it will also make it look neater. Get a friend to cut off as little as possible (just enough to get rid of the worst frizz). Once or twice a year is enough.

If you want advice on how to get long hair, ask somebody who has long hair. Don't ask a hairdresser. It is not in a hairdresser's interest to keep you happy with your long hair. They will sell you products that wear your hair down, and advice you to wash it and brush it often, and they will tell you to come back in a month or two for another trim. They might tell you that your hair will be better if you follow their "advice", and many of them probably believe it too, but what they really want is for you to give them more money.

My hair? Not the best picture, and it's in the shade so you can't see that it's quite shiny:

The 'lauryl sulfate' and the 'laureth sulfate' in shampoos, the first main ingredients, are harsh and strip away the oils on your hair, leaving it more vulnerable. Baby shampoo does not have these in it so it is much gentler. Unless you have a tendency to very oily hair I suppose youd like this.

All of the previous conclusions and feedbacks are very good. I've concluded though that the hair has its on set time to grow. Yes, we can assist a bit in growing, but it all is determined on the growth cycle you have. Some people's growth cycles are longer or shorter. Anyways the best things i see to do is to eat health and take good care of your hair. My beautician told me that deep conditioning at least once a month reduces hair breakages and strengthens it also. Some people may wash their hair too often, this could possibly be stunting some of your hair growth. You can't really expect your hair to grow much past what you have due to genetics. Genetics are a determining factor also for the length your hair will grow. Not all people have long beautiful hair and that's something you may have to live with . I all i can say is to treat your hair and keep it well hydrated and conditioned. The technique of pulling your hair scares because I would think I would be pulling my hair out. Rubbing your scalp daily increases circulation in the scalp and that sound effective to me. So just take care of your hair and it will reward you. I've cut my hair all my life and it's always grew back. My hair was below the bra line, and I always kept it cut just below the shoulder. It always reaches that same spot every time I cut it again.

What i use for my hair is baby shampoo. It's very soft and it doesn't hurt my hair, so my hair won't shed as much using it. Using other shampoos everyday may cause a lot of shedding, which will lead you hair being really thin and causes split ends.

STOP getting your hair cut at a salon if you ask for a trim they cut off 2 inches, even a 1 inch cut is taking off a months growth. i bleech my hair blonde ive still been able to get it to grow this long and its beautiful!

Once a week while your watching tv take the scissors and trim off the split ends only. Woman with really long hair do NOT get their hair cut at salons. My hair went from bra strap length to my waist in a year!

Get weekly deep conditioning treatments and condition your hair daily, also stimulate your scalp by combing NOT BRUSHING your hair nightly for atleast 5 minutes.(throw your brushes out ladies they stretch/pull your hair and damage it)

We also tend to shampoo our hair to much, try to only shampoo your hair every other shower, shampooing removes the natural oils in your hair drying it out even more.

im a massage therapist and in school we were taught to do somthing called hair pulling. pretty much all you do is run your fingers thru your hair at the scalp and form a fist with your hand traping the hair between your fingers very close to the scalp, then twist your hand a bit rather than pulling outwards. sometimes it can be a little sore, you should hold it for a while, ideally intil the pain goes away. if you really wanted to make your hair grow i would do this daily, all over your scalp. it makes sense that this could make your hair grow faster because it increases circulation. out of all the hair growing methods i have heard, the only that make much sense to me are vitamins, scalp massage and hair pulling. i would doubt that rubbing anything in your scalp would do anything in the way of making your hair grow faster, you would most likely get more benitfit from rubing it in than from the product its self. i have looked up alot about making hair grow faster, everthing i have found said that the myths that it grows faster if you trim it regularly, and conditioners ect, arnt true.

Being in the sunlight wont make your hair grow, sunlight actually damages your hair. The reason why our hair grows so much faster in the summer is because we start to sweat. So it would help with pills and keeping a good diet, if you having kinky or an African textured hair then try to wash it everyday using lots of conditioner, you can tell that Its working if your nails start to grow longer and faster and trust me give it a little less then a week.

=[

Editor's Note: Wearing a tight cap can cut off circulation to your scalp, I'd loosen it as much as you are able. Also the headaches and patches of hair falling out could be a symptoms of a health problem so please see a doctor.

spit in your hands and rub it on your scalp. the saliva enzymes help breakdown and kill bacteria allowing hair to grow. then wash hair in shampoo. do this every morning for a month and you will see great results.

Editor's Note: i can't find anything to confirm that this might work.

You're hair grows on average a half an inch a month (a little longer in the summer and a little slower in the winter). My suggestion would be to let your hair get as much sun as possible (using a product with UV protection to prevent damage). The sun and essential vitamins with nutrients, like folic acid, are the only things that will make your hair grow faster. A conditioning treatment once a week for a half an hour wouldn't hurt either. It will help prevent split ends (which will make your hair actually appear shorter than what it is).

If you want to make your hair grow naturally (like I do) then here's a recipe: : Warm 2 tsp. of olive oil and 2 tsp. coconut oil and gently massage every part of the scalp for 10-15 minutes. Rinse a towel in hot water, wipe and wind the hair around the head as it cools. Repeat 2 or 3 times to issue total saturation. After that, shampoo and rinse well.

The best thing to do is make sure you are eating healthy and taking vitamins. You don't need to take pre-natal ones (too much Iron can actually inhibit hair growth), but here's a good start:

Vitamin A
Vitamin B
Vitamin D
Vitamin E
Calcium

And, if you can, ensure you get some gelatin into your diet, and adequate protein for your age, weight and caloric intake.

This will ensure your hair grows optimally, from what my aunt has always told me - and she's a hairdresser who owns her own salon.

The other advice she gave me for growing out my hair was that - make sure to use scrunchies or other cloth covered rubber bands to ensure your hair doesn't break, don't pull your hair back too hard or it will inhibit blood flow to your scalp and stop hair growth, occasionally do a scalp massage to increase blood flow and make sure to lay off the product so your hair isn't too weighed down (if its pulling itself down too hard it will inhibit blood flow as well).

Good luck!

I have been growing my hair for the last 11 years, I am now sitting on it, I don't think it's growing fast enough, I cut my hair by the Old Farmer's Almanac, there are dates each month to cut to discourage your hair from growing that is when I cut my front and to encourage your hair to grow, this is when I cut the back. I didn't know if this was really working until telling my neighbor and she started having the boy's hair cut on the discourage days. I neglected to give her the dates One year. After about 3 months she called and begged for them, The boy's hair was growing so fast ,cutting on the wrong day was getting expensive. I take MSM and I shampoo with baby shampoo and simple Green 3 times a week. My hair is very shiny, healthy and very little gray at 56.

Rosemary:

This magnificent herb is widely respected for its value as a hair and beauty aide. Rosemary can also be used in the bath, on the face and as a body or scalp massage.

Believed to stimulate hair follicles and hair growth, rosemary is generally believed to slow down or even permanently hold off premature hair loss and gray hair.

I was researching this last week and found out that prenatal vitamins are not good to take if you are NOT pregnant bcs it contains extra iron and it can make you sick-if you are NOT pregnant. The research I have found says to take a daily multi vitamin and b-complex to make your hair grow.

Answers:

Advice For Taking Care Of Your Scalp And Hair

Your hair will only grow as fast as it's follicles can carry out their natural function. There probably are no "magic bullets" to increasing the speed of hair growth, although you can purchase shampoos and conditioners that claim they will make hair grow faster. The best thing you can do is provide a healthy scalp environment, both internally and externally by eating sufficient protein, plenty of vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, get plenty of sleep and take B vitamin supplements. Keep hair and scalp clean and treat hair gently. A scalp massage every few days may also help by improving circulation. I'm not a hair dresser but common sense tells me this is the best approach. Don't expect to see results immediately. This will take at least 3-4 months.

Gelatin

I am a hairdresser and I totally agree with the above poster. Additionally, you may try to consume gelatin or gelatin capsules. They are high in protein and will help assist in strengthening your hair as is grows out, resulting in less breakage. Also the normal hair growth pattern in adult humans is 1/4 to 1/2 inch a month. I hope this helps.

Supplements

MSM pills or "Hair, Skin and Nails" pills by Andrew Lessman from www.hsn.com.

Prenatal Vitamins

Prenatal vitamins, they really made my hair grow and I just generally felt better all over, so after I had kids I just kept on taking them and my hair is past my waist now (20 years later).

By Pammy

The prenatal thing works out just fine. I'd say take the prenatal pills as a daily supplement and eat full course meals, then watch the difference.

By Amber

Prenatal pills has helped my hair grow. It was really short, now it is growing since I've been pregnant.

By Pheren Robbins

Okay, here's the deal. Prenatal vitamins are great for growing out hair and nails. it doesn't work with everyone, but it does with most people. Do not expect any overnight results. Hair grows naturally at 1/2 an inch a month, any type of prenatal vitamins will increase that by almost half an inch a month. You do not need a "brand name" prenatal vitamin, just because it costs more does not always mean the product will work better. Generic brands are just as good as any. Good luck!

By emily

Expect No More Than 1/2 Inch Per Month

Human hair grows at the rate of about 1/2 inch per month. That's it. Do try to stay healthy, exercise and eat the right foods. That will help keep hair healthy looking, but nothing will make it grow any faster than your body intends it to. To give your hair a longer look, go for sleek, straight styles. Curling it makes it look shorter. When growing out my hair, I set a personal goal to pass the time. For instance, in 6 months I will have accomplished (fill in the blank). Then you put your mind to your goal and somehow, psychologically, your hair seems to have grown in no time!

Ponytail

This might sound weird, but a while ago someone told me that tying your hair in a ponytail overnight makes it grow faster. Something about it pulling from the roots. Anyways, I tried it, and about a month later my hair had grown quite a bit.

Heat Makes Hair Grow

I said something to my hairdresser recently about my hair growing faster in the summer months rather than the winter months. She replied, "Yes, it does, the hotter a person is, the faster their hair grows. So living here in the desert, your hair will grow faster in the summer." Plus, I'm really hot natured. I can sweat when others aren't sweating.

There Is No Such Thing As A Protein Pill

By the way, if anyone tells you to take a protein pill, they don't know what they are talking about. They don't make protein pills. Protein is thick and dense, it wouldn't fit into a small pill, not enough to do anything anyways. My friend and I have been taking 2 vitamin E tablets a day and our hair, especially our nails, has shown a difference in growth rate and health. I know everyone says there is nothing you can do to make your hair grow faster, but a lot of people's hair is growing slower than it should. So with the right vitamins and such, hair will start growing at the rate it is supposed to, which will be much faster than it was before. Tadaaaaaaaa!
