Does anyone know a natural way to grow my hair, my hair fell out from chemicals, and I really want to grow it back. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

I would try Pre-natal vitamins. When I was pregnant my hair and nails grew like crazy. I know it was due to the vitamins. You can buy them over the counter in most drug stores, maybe even Walmart. (05/05/2005)

Go to health store and buy oil of rosemary. This helps grow hair. Also if they have plenty of merchandise you can look for a special shampoo with rosemary in it. I did it for my younger daughter. She looks much better now. (05/06/2005)

Maybe Rogaine would help you. I believe it used to be by prescription only, but now you can buy it over the counter, at Wal-Mart.
When you say your hair fell out from chemicals, was it chemotherapy or just tints?

I am trying to find out the same thing and I learned a few things along the way. Vitamins and proteins are very important to hair growth. Your hair is made up of dead protein. So if you take some B vitamins like B6, it is said to help promote faster and healthier hair growth.

The suggestion about the birth control pills is maybe not a good idea. The hormones in the pills for some people can make their hair grow, but will make hair fall out for others. I have been taking BC pills for a while now and it has totally made my hair fall out. My doctor is taking me off them so we can see if my hair will grow back. I've been taking an amino acid (protein) supplement, drinking lots of water, and using Mane n Tail shampoo. It all seems to be helping along with stopping the BC pills. I'll have a much better idea of how it is working in about 6 months.
BTW, Wendy I feel for ya, girl. I have the same worries that you do. I hate when my boss walks behind me while I'm sitting at my desk. I feel like my bald area must be glaring at him. It's probably not as bad as you think. I know I make it worse in my mind than it really is. But try taking some vitamins or a protein supplement. Also, have you tried women's Rogaine? That has helped me. Didn't totally make the hair come back, but it did regrow some of it. Mostly, I think eliminating the root of the problem is the key. Sounds like yours was stress. Mine is the BC pills. Good luck!! (Oh, and the amino acid supplement is called AG Pro by Miller Pharmaceuticals. It's kinda hard to find, but I got it from amazon.com. It was recommended on another post on the internet and seemed to be working for the user.) (06/21/2007)

My hair fell out and literally stopped growing when I was diagnosed with hypothyroid disease. So I was treated by my doctor for this. But my hair still wouldn't grow back.
I am interested in herbs and among many herbs recommended for hair loss, was one called horsetail. I took two capsules three times a day and my hair started to grow in and actually grown in three weeks.
I thought it was my imagination too, but my hairdresser was amazed. Another lady overhead me and tried it with the same results. However, another lady tried it with no results.
Herbs are medicine and should be treated seriously. I was desperate and bought my horsetail capsules at Whole Foods Market.
Also, 1000mg of biotin a day really helps keep hair from falling out, my sister recommended this to me and it works.
Good luck! (09/09/2007)

For those who want healthy hair and to grow it fast, use coconut oil every time before you take a shower! (11/22/2007)

Try boiling nettles and rosemary leaves with a half cup of water. Use about 3-5 tablespoons, place as a leave in after every wash. Hair will get extremely thick, oil scalp with rosemary oil, make a conditioner out of avocado, garlic, eggs, and mayonnaise massage in scalp and hair. Leave in about 15-30 minutes with cap under heat or wrap with a hot towel for penetration. I'm black Dominican, who receives comments on my hair all the time. God bless you. Have a great day!

Hasn't anyone heard of milk? I drink tons and tons of milk. That will do it. Makes nails stronger too. (01/14/2008)

I read your statement and I have pointers to grow your hair.
Also I have some recipes and essential oils you must try. This has worked tremendously on my hair and the exact thing that's happening to you already happened to me. I've been growing my hair since July, since I started all over and my hair is past my shoulders now. So, OK here we go.
These hair recipes were tested on alorecia areata patients, this disease causes balding and balding spots. These patients followed the same procedure and only 40% grew nearly half their hair back. The other percentage grew ALL or almost all their original length hair back, so I back this up 100%
Remember to always use natural products on your hair! Follow these recipes and happy hair growing!

Take rice (yes rice, any sort) wash the rice really well (of course saving the water). Take the water that you washed the rice with, and put it in your hair. Leave it overnight. Next morning, rinse it out. This method results in healthy hair!
Honey, egg yokes, and a spoon of olive oil, mix it all well on dry hair. Apply it all over massaging the scalp. Leave it on for an hour and TA TA! Your hair will grow in no time! (04/30/2008)

There is a shampoo called Daragen hair repair shampoo it is very expensive 17.00 per bottle, but it is excellent for hair growth also use mayonnaise and homemade egg conditioner every two weeks. Black ladies what we have to do is to stop perming our hair. Perms are chemicals, we need to wear our hair natural, nappy as they say and I am happy and nappy in the Nati. My hair is growing like crazy since I stop perming it. There is a good hair grease called Dax it almost looks black, but it has my hair looking really thick. Also make sure you take vitamin B.

There really is no way for hair to grow super fast. But the shampoo Nioxin works well. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and I'm already seeing a difference. My hair is still fried and such, but I'm hoping to fix it.
Best of luck to you all! (12/08/2008)
