It's been 2 months since my extensions were put in. My hair has grown 2 inches in the past 2 months!!! The extension dude was all shocked and said, WOW! You are a fast grower! I said really? My hair grows slower than shit. HE said, well, you've got about 2 inches of growth here. I told him I take vitamins, and he asked what kind and said he was going to recommend my routine to anyone trying to grow their hair out.
I was so excited to see my hair growing so fast. Previously( before my bad cut) I had been growing my hair out for 3 years. It started about chin level, and when it was cut off, it was just slightly past my shoulders.
SO heres what I take, if anyone wants fast growth:
Multi Vitamin. I was just taking some generic multi, when I was pregnant, I bought prenatals, and since I had a full container of them, I kept taking them, so I'm still using prenatals right now.
Biotin: 5,000 mcg( that's just 1 suppliment, but ther eis also biotin in the multi, as well as the walmart hair pills, so the total amount I take is a little higher)
Vit. C: 1,000 mg
Super B complex
Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc
Milk Thistle
Omega 3 complex
Silica
"walmart" hair pills: California Naturals HAIR 1 pill per day.
* I took the whole bottle, and ran out, and decided not to buy more because I didn't like the unnatural color additives of the pills. I also figured I was already getting everythign offered in thoes pills, and didn't need to further suppliment. However...seeing how fast my hair grew while takign them, I may buy another bottle.
I also started drinking a lot more water. I don't know if that matters or not.
I'm not exactly sure WHY my hair has grown so fast, or what pills exactly are doing it. Just the biotin? A combination of everything? I don't know, so I am reluctant to change anything.
What started this was the turbo hair growth thread, but I changed it slightly...and I guess whatever I'm doing is working.
Turbo hair growth thread recommends a protien shake every day to wash down the vitamins. While that's good advice, I didn't do it..and being a (unhealthy) vegitatian, I know I'm not getting a lot of protien in my diet. SO I'm inclined to think protien doesn't do much to grow hair faster. It's still good to get a lot of protien, I'm just saying I don't and I'm still growig fast.
I think another factor might be that I don't color my hair anymore, since i have extensions in and am unable to. I used to color once a month to keep my hair the light blonde color, but the extensions are a darker blonde, and close to my natural color so they don't need colored.
As for the health of my hair....the top is healthier. I assume from washing so much and coloring so much, the top of my hair was always very frizzy and broken. Took a lot of snoothing cream to get it lookign smooth and nice. That problem has since gone away. But for the overall health of my hair, I just don't know....I don't yet know if the extensions have damaged it or not, but I am due for maintence and will find out then if they have caused damage or not.
One downside: My hair grows faster, everywhere. Including my face...which I mentioned with embarassment in another thread....
So yeah...if you are trying to grow your hair faster, I really recommend you check out the turbo hair growth thread, and follow the routine outlined. It may take a few months to start seeing a result, so don't get disappointed if you don't see a difference in a month. Check wher eyour hair is now, and start the vitamins and recheck the length in 3 months, you will see a difference!
