I read somewhere that hair grows around six inches per year... That's about half an inch each month...

In a year, it probably won't reach shoulder-length, but you can make short hair look pretty when you have enough of it...

Other than hair's natural speed of growth, I suppose the suggestions you've been given will help... Just telling you what I've read about hair left untouched and giving you a realistic expectation.

However, if your hair does grow down to your shoulders... You've got some good luck in lieu of the bad with the perm and all. =)

Here are 10 tips for to keep your hair strong, smooth, shiny and beautiful!



1. Keep your diet balanced, and eat protein and calcium rich foods. Stay away from junk foods! This is essential for healthy hair.



2. Foods and supplements to nourish your hair:





* Beans

* Yogurt

* Almonds

* Vitamin B

* Fish

* And of course, the magic potion for beauty - WATER



3. Before washing your hair, comb it well to make sure all knots has been loosened from your hair.



4. Before applying shampoo, use warm water (35 to 38 degrees Celsius) to run through your hair to rinse and wet it thoroughly.



5. When applying shampoo or conditioner, don't use your fingernails to scrape through your hair. Instead, use your palm and fingertips to massage your scalp and hair gently, in circular motions. This will help the circulation and also help to keep your hair shiny and smooth.



6. After rinsing away all the shampoo, run water over your hair for at least another half a minute (3 minutes is best) to ensure there are no remains of shampoo remaining in your hair, since this will cause a great deal of damage to your scalp.



7. When applying hair treatment products, do so just after you have washed your hair, so that your hair can absorb all the good stuff while it is half wet. This will be the best time for it to absorb nourishment.



8. NEVER go to bed with your hair wet! Hair that is half wet is most easily broken, and if you sleep during this time, your hair will be rubbing against each other, damaging your hair in the most terrible way.



9. Too much pressure may lead to hair loss! Relax... try some good relaxation methods such as soaking in a nice scented bath, listening to music, and eating healthy comfort foods such as strawberries and grapes.



10. Perming and coloring seriously damages your hair. Avoid it as much as possible. Also, when using hair setting products such as gel or putty, use as little as possible, because they hurt your scalp and hair. Wash them out thoroughly afterwards with a shampoo specially created for removing styling products

Well,

* Try applying a paste of shoe flower and leaves,this helps grow your hair and make it appear blacker.

* Try applying milk or curd(at least a day old) on your hair, this will help to keep it silky and shiny.

* Eat well, this is neccessary for the hair to grow.

* Apply oil every second day.... Apply it in the night before dinner and wash it off the next day morning.

Vitamin B is wonderful for hair and nails. If you look at the hair and nail growth products on the market, so many of them contain Vitamin B. I take them, and sometimes I think my hair grows TOO fast! Try it. A good Vitamin B-complex supplement (it doesn't have to be expensive) would help hair, skin, and nails, and you can pick it up at any pharmacy.

Good healthy diet



I've heard that Biotin is a good supplement for hair growth, but I've not tried it. For myself, I find that there is no substitute for a healthy diet based on whole, natural foods. If you are eating nothing but junk, no supplement will bring you the healthy state needed for maximum hair growth and health of the hair. Stay away from fast food, processed foods and sugary things; eat lots of whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, beans, small amounts of lean meat. Drink lots of fresh water. If your hair (and skin) is a bit dry, try adding a bit of olive oil to your cooking or taking flax seed oil. You will see a difference!

I have been taking hair supplements for the past 3 years and here is what I have found.

GNC makes a tablet called "Ultra Nourishair" in formulas for men and women, the pills are taken daily, 2 pills a day. They are HUGE and very hard to swallow, if you have any trouble at all with large tablets, then I wouldn't recommend these. The 2 pills also contain only 1200 micrograms total of Biotin, which is the main supplement needed for hair to grow faster and stronger. You should try to get a minimum of 2500 micrograms of Biotin daily to improve hair's rate of growth and its condition.

ProCaps labs makes a great supplement called "Hair Skin and Nails" formula, here is the link for that

http://www.procapslabs.com/pcl/pages/pro...

This is in capsule form and much easier to swallow. This company, ProCaps labs is also extremely reputable and carries pure and effective products.

I took GNC's Nourishair for four months, and supplemented it with extra Biotin tablets daily due to its low Biotin content. I took 2500 micrograms extra Biotin with the GNC pills.

The Procaps hair vites have 2500 micrograms of Biotin in them, and don't really require extra Biotin be taken, but I do take an additional 2500 micrograms of Biotin for a daily total of 5000 micrograms of Biotin.

My hair is growing in thick and dark and quite quickly. My hair used to be very slow growing, but all of these supplements have really made a difference.

The only way to really change the health of your hair is by taking supplements that work internally on the follicle where hair is made, any shampoos or oils or other topically applied things do nothing to change hair's structure, that can only happen with systemically provided support, which means supplements that you take internally.......

I use baby shampoo all the time and my hair is thick as hell and kinda long but thats because I just cut my hair lol. But on the back of the shampoo...it says it will actually make your hair longer and thicker at the same time in a fast time. It usually thickens and longens after you wash it. You can get baby shampoo anywhere.

Hair loss affects both men and women. Here are some natural remedies that can help boost hair growth: https://bitly.im/aL9Tr While genetics plays a role, there are other factors, including: hormonal imbalances, an underactive thyroid gland, nutrient deficiencies and insufficient scalp circulation.

have a hot oil evry 3 days.. hair spa.. dont let them use too much drier.

comb hair in a very gentle not harsh and rapid manner.. imagine your hair as strands of gold not stock of hay to rake..

pamper it...

then when sleeping remeber to hang your hair out away from your face, not lying them suppresingly.



the most important of all... is inside, have a supplement of the following,, Vitamin E at least 400mg, Vitamin C 500mg at least, Vit. D and Calcium... E and C are most basic of all.

then diet, dont eat any foods too much of MSG mono sodium gutamate. junk foods, so tasty foods so much seasonig,

have at least a yougurt to eat every meal and if your not lactous intolerance, you can have fresh milk every day.

then learn lessons my dear, dnt experiement so rude to your hair.. coz i believe hair has its moods too. take good care of t and it will be shown.. destroy it and it will wither like a dead plant..

I had the same issue. ..My hair never grew. So what you should do is first find the right person to cut your hair. Right now I have this lady cutting my hair and its growing a lot faster. Find a person with good hands to cut your hair and trim it at least once every two months.

certain hair products are good for certain hair. you can use hair food but I would advise you to go to a good hair dresser and advise what hair texture you have got and they should be able to tell you what product to use, also they must do a test just now you lose all your hair this time, good luck

Take good care of your hair! It will add to your charm - who can resist a person with lovely, silky hair? So do try out the above tips! Hope these littles tips have been useful! :)





Tips To Stop Hair Loss & Keep Healthy Hair Here are some hair care tips that you can use to help stop hair loss and keep your existing hair healthy and looking great. Please don't take these tips lightly. They are very important . The only thing they require is your time and commitment.



- Massage your scalp with your fingertips (not your nails) daily to stimulate and promote circulation to your scalp and reduce excess fallout. Invert your head while you shampoo & massage your scalp. This helps promote blood circulation to the head.



- Essential oils & tea . To stimulate scalp circulation, massage the scalp with rosemary essential oil or rinse hair with tea made from sage.



- Comb or brush your hair and scalp gently in the morning and at night. This helps break up hardened oils (sebum) that are clogging your hair follicles. Doing this alone has produced new hair growth. Do not over do combing or brushing.



- keep a distance from dryer's heat. When using blow dryers, always keep the heat a good distance from your scalp and hair. Avoid heating the scalp and hair excessively. Excessive heat will increase hair loss, and excess fallout.



- Avoid getting hair creams, lotions, styling gels and sprays directly on the scalp as they will clog your hair follicles. Use a light hold spray if you must.



- After swimming in a pool, shampoo your hair as soon as possible to remove any chlorine residue. Chlorine is extremely damaging to the hair and scalp.



- Avoid over-exposing your hair and scalp to the wind and sun. Good hair care over a long period really makes a difference!



- Avoid tight hats and caps as they contribute to poor circulation, depriving the hair of proper nutrition and stunting new hair growth. The sweat, dirt and grime around the rim inhibit follicle health and contribute to build-up.



- Always consult your health care provider for extreme causes of excess fallout and thinning. A medical condition or medication could be causing hair loss side-effects.



- Strive for balance and harmony in both your personal and professional lifestyle. High stress factors can cause your body to react by fluctuating hormone levels. This in turn causes excessive oil secretion (sebum) which results in hair loss.



- Pregnancy, nursing, menopause, and even birth control medication can cause constant changing factors on your nutritional needs and hormonal levels which contribute to hair loss and excess fallout.



- Avoid "crash and fad" diets. Proper nutritious meals along with vitamin and mineral supplements are a key factor for healthy hair and skin.



- Good hair care starts with awareness. These hair care tips, if followed consistently, will reduce excess fallout, hair loss, and promote new hair growth.



- Reduce hair loss effects by increasing your intake of vitamin C found in fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruit and juices, parsley, broccoli, green peppers and black currants. Take a vitamin B complex everyday or brewers yeast. Increase your intake of protein found in meat, fish, liver, wheat germ, dried cooked beans and peas, tofu, cheese, milk and eggs.



- Take dietary supplements such as Vitamin B6, zinc & saw palmetto. Supplements are useful when you can't get enough from natural food sources.



- The Chinese believe that hair is nourished by the blood, and therefore influenced by the kidney & liver. Treatment is aimed at these organs using fleece flower root, wolfberry fruit or mulberry fruit.



- Eliminate stress or else it can be disastrous to your precious hair!



- Get enough sleep. Sleeping well is essential for the health of your hair as well as for the rest of your body.

















There are ways you can help stop the grease from appearing but you have to work at it.



Do not wash everyday. The cleaner your hair is the more it can seep into your glands and harder it is to get rid of. When you do wash make sure you are washing with a cleaning shampoo and scrubbing the build up off. Take in mind that you also have to have a ph-balanced mild shampoo and lite scrubbing is recommended. Try to avoid conditioner at the roots, apply in the middle or on the ends.



Try to avoid oil in your daily food intake. And do eat more vegetables. You could visit your doctor but only after you check and consider your diet, drugs, alcohol, and your fatty food intake. Let's face it we see what McDonalds can do to your heart in a month, can you image your hair. You would be dripping everywhere.



Maybe it's time to change your shampoo. Ask your stylist what she or he would recommend. Avoid using shine products at all costs. Keep away from two-in-one shampoos and conditioners and any frizz serums.



To fix at the moment, rub a little Talcum Powder on your dried hair at the roots. Just make sure you wash it out. I wish they would event that magic product, but this will help until they do.
