Desperately Wanting Speeded Hair Growth?

Hello, I have been researching this a bit for quite a while now. But I havent really actually tried anything.

I'm ready to try about anythign now though because I had long hair for the first time in my life and I loved it, but one simple trimming trip to the hair dresser ruined it. She convinced me to layer my hair... I thought, it would just be subtle layers.. nothing drastic but she chopped the top layer of my hair half off... I hate it. I cant do anythign with it anymore and to make matters worse, m hair gets puffy really easily so this looks just rediculous... like I have a mushroom cap on my head with a mullet... its bad.

So, I need something to sped up its growing. Some people have mentioned pre-natal vitamins, but I personally think its just the pregnancy making your hair grow.. Other people say trim it regularily.. I agree that would make it look better but I dont belive it will speed the growth.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Sorry, hon, but there really is nothing out there that will speed up hair growth. Hair grows about 1/2 an inch per month (slightly more in summer, slightly less in winter).

Don't waste your money on miracles products guaranteeing hair growth, because they don't work. You can try consuming Knox gelatin, as some people have reported increased growth by 1/32 to 1/16 of an inch (but, it could be other reasons). What gelatin will do (no, NOT Jello!) is make your hair stronger and healthier, so it does not damage and break as easily, so it give the appearance of making hair grow faster. And, for the most part, you are right about pre-natal vitamins -- it is the hormones. However, if you are deficient in vitamins (and guess what, most of us in this world are) a vitamin suppliement certainly isn't going to hurt, and may actually help....by a 1/32 of an inch.

I certainly hope you didn't pay for, or tip for this haircut! I'd go back to the salon and say "fix this until I can grow it out!"

I agree with the pre-natals. They are very rich in E and B vitamins, Biotin, that kind of thing. Think; They will only make you healthier.

PS. I also recently had my beautiful long hair butched when i went in for a "trim". Thank god it grows back.

I got my hair chopped off and i wanted it to grow fast, and its still in that process. I have never been pregnant and i took prenatal vitamins. One week later the girls at school were like wow your hair is growing fast! So, that works for sure. I also take folic acid pills. You get them in the vitamin section in walmart for like 2 bucks. Also, when you go to bed, put your hair in a loose braid. Any type of pulling and twisting to your hair stimulates your hair follicles. It sure did when i got extensions. Hope I helped!
