    Silica tablets too. It takes a month for them to get into your system so get a BIG jar and take them daily (as instructions permit).

    My hair wouldn't grow at all for over 6 months because of all the chemical damage I did to it. First of all, if you color or bleach your hair yourself, DON'T. Next, the best thing I bought was pills from Wal-Mart called HAIR. They're found in the vitamin section and it's only $5 a bottle. The pills are big but they go down smooth. I started taking one before bed and one midday. After a couple months, my hair was growing about an inch or inch and 1/2 a month and looked fuller and healthier. I kept taking them for about 8 months and no one could believe how fast my hair grew. They swore I still had extensions. It's a cheap method. I also bought a pony tail piece while my hair grew out.

    Hair loves many vitamins! First find out if your anemic, have a thyroid problem, birth control etc. You can look up on the web any number of reasons why your hair may not grow fast. Theory says hair may grow faster in summer months, and mainly only 1/2" every month.

    I think i broke this theory. My hair grows veyt fast. Too fast for me.

    There can be many reasons why your hair grows slow, first it could just be you, nothing wrong. Is it breaking off?

    I would first just get a checkup, and read up on hair vitamins. I eat tons of olive oil, red peppers, yogurt, and now fish. Vegetables (not cooked) and fruits.

    A poor diet of fast food wont do much for hair. A good diet with a multi. vitamin will.

    Good luck,

    Pamela

    OK I'm gonna have to check out these walmart pills too now. T_B, what about maintenance? You absolutely must get your hair trimmed every 6 weeks to maximize growth. My hairdresser read me the riot act my visit before last. She lopped off 4 inches (it had been almost 6 months and the ends were blech!) Needless to say, I went back 6 weeks after my 4 inch "trim" and will be back religiously from now on...

    I take biotin, gelatin, flaxseeed oil, and the GNC hair, skin and nails vitamins. That's too many vitamins for me to take everyday, so I take 2 or 3 of my list each day. I get about an inch to an inch and a half of growth a month.

    I tried silica but, it had me peeing constantly. I even went to the doctor because it got so bad. He couldn't find anything, but when I got home I looked up silica and found that it has a side effect of frequent urination.

    But I'm someone who gets all the rare side effects to drugs. When they warn 1 in 1000 hundred people may experience blah blah blah, that's me.

    whoa. that is alot of vitamins. I was taking a multi-vitamin but I stopped because they were stinky and they made my pee smell, uh, strong. (sorry to be gross)

    I've used the Nioxin products before. I did like the line, but at the time couldn't really justify the cost. Maybe I'll give that a shot again too. My hair is so fragile, I really have to baby it.

    Folic Acid makes hair grow faster- 1mg a day should do the trick. Also L-cyestine, an amino acid, is said to help. Apparently Progaine (sp?), the UK version of Rogaine (but 2x as strong as N.American version) makes hair grow super fast. But I dunno, haven't tried it.

    my hair has gone from being really thick and strong to extremely brittle and thin. It snaps off all the time and actually falls off if I run my fingers through it. My hair dresser couldn't explain it. Maybe I should try taking something....

    But, the real reason I'm replying to this is to say WATCH OUT FOR ROGAINE! My hair stylist (who has been in the professions for decades and knows EVERYTHING) said that women who are "of birthing age" should not take or even handle rogaine. I knew they used to say that about the male version but not the female one. She said that it's because it's meant for much older women that are losing their hair because of hormonal changes, changes in diet, and loss of calcium. If you want to have kids, she said, STAY AWAY FROM IT!!!

    I wanted to throw that out there, just in case.

    Why? Does it cause birth defects like Accutane?

    I have heard a lot of great things to do about slow hair growth!!! But i must tell you the best thing i ever did for my hair is go to a professional salon, and instead of coloring, a couple highlights here and there.

    I have had extentions, and they look great for the first couple weeks, but cost me 1k!!!!
    I have the gnc nails and hair formula and it seems to work pretty well, i also have biotin supplements and im working on getting the silica supplements.
    Also nioxin is great for your hair, olive oil and lancome's hair mask.
    My hair is almost down to my back now, and it is the healthiest it has ever been!!

    Speaking of accutane.. I took the drug about a year ago and it made my hair thinner and weak has heck. The drug works wonders as far as clearing up skin but i dont think the side effects are really worth it.

    From what I gather, it makes you infertile.
