    Default Super turbo hair growth

    Like most of you, I followed the Walmart hair pill saga from start to finish. And, like some of you, I was concerned about the amount of fillers in them. So I started searching online for a vitamin program that will help grow hair. I found this gem on a site for women who are obsessed with growing long hair (I mean that in a kind way). It is a vitamin regimin that has become infamous on that site. The following information and the regimen it contains were developed by a woman who lost all of her hair to chemo and set about figuring out the BEST way to grow it back. According to her she grew 17 inches of hair the first year on this program. I am going to follow this and will update everyone on my progress.

    Bargello's Famous Vitamin Routine

    I start with GNC's Ultra Nourishair. It is a great hair vitamin. In addition I take the following:

    500mg Silica
    500mg Evening Primrose
    500mg Flax Seed
    1000mg MSM
    5000mcg Biotin

    I take it all with a protein drink.

    I increased my biotin dosage to the additional 5000mcg (for a total of 7200) and added in the Natrol about 3 1/2 weeks ago. In the last 2 weeks my hair has grown an inch! YEA! I believe this is due to the increase in biotin. I am not sure that it is due to the Natrol prenatal. I added it as I have so many friends who swear that their hair grows like a weed when they take it.

    Vitamins are very important for not just the growth of hair but for overall health. After doing years of research on vitamins, I have found what vitamins work and what ones don't. My overall health has improved 200% since starting my vitamin program. And healthy body means healthy nails, skin, and hair.

    Multivitamin: I believe everyone needs to be on a good multivitamin. You need a vitamin that contains at least 100% of the most of the recommended daily nutrients. I am very partial to Vitaminshoppe's One A Day vitamin. This is an excellent vitamin for overall health. Note that it does not contain iron. This might be a concern and might not be. Most menstruating women can benefit from extra iron in their diets. If you happen to be a woman that becomes iron deficient easily, you might just wish to add in an extra iron supplement. By not having iron, this makes a good supplement for men, teens, and post-menopausal women.

    Calcium: We all need calcium in our diet. This is something that is an absolute necessity. There is some calcium in the above multivitamin, but not enough. Remember that when taking calcium you also need Vitamin D and Magnesium for the calcium to be absorbed properly. Most multivitamins will contain Vitamin D and Magnesium.

    Now for the vitamins which promote healthy hair, skin, and nails.

    Hair Vitamins: I like a good hair vitamin to start my program. There are several out there. GNC's Ultra Nourishair is probably one of the best I have seen. It is what I take and is the absolute heart of my program. I am a firm believer in this vitamin. It contains all the necessary vitamins needed for healthy hair.

    Note: I do not like the vitamins that state for Hair, Skin, and Nails. They generally have less than you really need of the necessary vitamins for healthy hair, skin, and nails. I am not sure why, but they do. If you take a good hair vitamin, your skin and nails will automatically benefit.

    MSM: This vitamin is very important for healthy hair, muscles, and joints. It helps to decrease hair fall out. It does this by assisting in making the growth stage of the hair longer. The longer you are able to retain the root, the longer you hair will grow. You may take up to 2000mg/day. Note: Ultra Nourishair contains 500mg of MSM. I take an additional 1000mg/day.

    Silica: Helps in the shine of hair. It is also a very valuable antioxidant. It assists in a lot of other areas other than just helping your hair be soft and shiny. There is silica in the Ultra Nourishair; I take an additional 500mg/day.

    Evening Primrose: There is so much to say about this essential fatty acid. It contains Omega-6 Fatty Acid (Gamma-Linolenic Acid). This is a good Omega-6 Fatty Acid. It has several benefits of which I will only name a few. Some of the benefits are reducing PMS, clearing up eczema, helping your skin glow, minimize fine wrinkles, reduce cholesterol, help with your metabolism, and cure hair and nail problems. It helps nourish straw-like hair. You really only need 480-960 mg of GLA to reap wonderful benefits. I personally take 500mg/day. You should see results with Evening Primrose as early as 2 weeks of daily consumption. Your scalp should feel less dry and the hair growing in should feel softer and more nourished.

    Flaxseed Oil: Now flaxseed Oil is wonderful in the sense that it contains both Alpha-Linolenic Acid (Omega-3 Fatty Acid) and Gamma-Linolenic Acid (Omega-6 Fatty Acid). Omega-3 is very important in our bodies too. We need both to help maintain a healthy body. Omega-3 has been know the help ADD/ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder). It is also essential for healthy hair, skin, and nails. It helps hair in the same way Omega-6 does. Why take both? Because the cells of the body need both to work properly. Our bodies do not make either of the Fatty Acids, we must supplement. Taking both will help the cells of the body work more efficiently and in return help growth of hair as well as health of hair and body. I take 500mg/day. I really don't think you need more than that, but experiment. You might find your body does need more.

    Biotin: Now biotin is what really can boost your hair growth. Skin, nails, and hair rely on biotin to grow. So, if we feed our bodies more biotin, then our skin will look better, and our nails will be stronger, and our hair will grow faster and stronger. My hair vitamin contains 1200mcg of biotin. I take an additional 2400mcg/day. I have played with the dosage a little and have found that my hair definitely grows faster with the total biotin of 3600mcg/day. You might need to play with this too. You might need more or less than I do for results.

    Protein: I can't scream enough about protein. We need it. I don't care if it plant or animal. Truthfully your body can absorb and utilize plant protein better than animal. This is why vegetarians are incredibly healthy. I drink a protein shake everyday with my vitamins. I drink it with milk (it tastes better and I get extra calcium and protein with the milk), vegans can make a protein drink with soymilk (get it with calcium added and you have the benefits of extra vegetable protein and calcium). Adding protein to your diet will help your body all the way around. It will function better and you will not be as hungry all the time. I suggest a protein drink of at least 22gr. of protein. I suggest at least one serving a day. If your diet is really bad, you can drink more. The extra protein will also help your hair grow. It is protein too, you know.

    With all this said, everyone is DIFFERENT! You might need more of something than I do, or less. Vitamins are personal things. You need to play with them to get the correct dosage for you. They are not a cure all. They can help your body in ways you wouldn't think about. I have tried to keep the above information brief. I could write pages about each vitamin and why you should take it. The above program works very well for me. My hair grows at the speed of 1 ½" per month. One thing to always remember, when starting a vitamin program, don't expect results overnight. It will take your body 2-6 weeks to benefit from vitamins. This time period depends on how depleted your system is. The average time being 4 weeks. If you are recovering from a serious illness, it could take longer.

    I ordered it all yesterday and will start when it arrives--probably Monday. The great thing about this is that it is a pretty comprehensive health regimin--not just a hair growing plan. Add a multi and maybe some glucosomine for joint health and this is pretty much the Stripper Vitamin Pack. Folowing this program will really super-charge your health, not just your hair.

    So...I take it I'm not a slut anymore, CK?

    Aw, CK...how could anyone say no to you? You got it, girl.

    I'll keep everyone abreast. I get my vitamins tomorrow. Weee!

    Incidentally, I was just talking to my roommate about this and she did something similiar when she lost her hair to cancer. She grew it from nothing to past her shoulders in a year. So, if you've fucked up your hair like me, there is hope!!

    You only need 490-960mg of Evening Primrose! D'Oh! I've been taking 3000 and I quit when I suspected it of giving me some gastrointestinal distress! (my stomach sounded like a water cooler!) (I take so many supplements and vitamins, but I narrowed it down to either that or my omega 3-6-9s) I've been taking biotin and florasil (a source of silica) and while I haven't yet noticed the hair on my head growing any faster, I just waxed my arms little over a week ago and they're already a bit stubbly! (usually it lasts for weeks, d'oh! I hope they get long enough to wax again, soon, at which point I'll ease it on the biotin/florasil for a while!)

    cinnamonkisses- THE ELUSIVE WAL MART HAIR PILLS! I never saw this link! I stopped reading the hair pills post after the ninetieth or so page. Maybe I'll pick these up when I have enough cash to deal with customs

    Thanks for all this great info!

    I've noticed a jump now that I take 4-5 hair pills and about 4 milk thistle for my skin. But, I did a pretty steady hair growth (not SUPER fast, but definitely faster than my normal hair growth) at just two and occasionally three pills a day, but that was religious. I slumped off for awhile and now I've gotten back on the wagon at 4-5 pills a day and have just been judging it by my roots.

    milk thistle keeps your liver processing at peak levels ( I think) so it helps clear up the skin. I haven't been keeping track of the growth like I used to, I'm just occasionally looking at my roots (the roots closely blend with my dyed hair, so I have to really look in the right light) but to me it looks like it's growing faster. <shrug> It's not a pace I'd do forever, but I wanted to try it and see.

    i was just reading up on that MSM stuff- as it tastes fucking revolting (like an after taste of GHB) and found this :
    "No published research studies link MSM to any of the health claims made by its marketers. Sulfur needed in human metabolism comes from dietary protein. MSM supplements probably make little or no contribution to the body's sulfur requirements. Thus there is no good reason to use MSM supplements."

    Mermaid, I agree that I don't think extra sulphur will benefit the body for health reasons, but as part of a hair care routine for those wanting to grow long hair, I believe it is beneficial from reading other people's tried and tested experiences. I've read around the hair care forums a lot recently and people who have experienced good hair growth have attributed it to products containing sulpuhr as the active ingredient. One such product is Mane-Tail-Groom (a lot of hair sites have raved about this), but a cheaper and probably longer lasting alternative minus all the worry about the extra ingredients in that product is to purchase your own sulphur and mix it in a concoction like the opening poster suggested. However, I do think it would pay to be careful, because sulphur is not an ingredient to use heavy handedly
