I really want to grow my hair our before prom, so I had previously asked my cousin about it.
She told me that I could use Horse Shampoo, which makes your hair really healthy, which I found to be true. And she also suggested Prenatal pills, because she was on them and her hair grew really fast, long and healthy.
I hope that I helped a little.
And if you find out anymore tips, let me know! Lol.
Get the farmers almanac, it tells you the best days to cut your hair to get it to grow, It really does work, you just cut the very little, like the dead ends off. I also take prenatal vitamins.
1) eat lots of protein - hair is made up of protein. if you aren't getting enough, hair will be the 1st place your body will stop providing it for
2) massage the scalp every day - hair follicles are fed by the blood. it will increase blood flow to them
3) take biotin supplements. country life maxi-hair is a good supplement, too.
4) increase omega fatty acid intake & healthy fats. like olive oil and nuts/seeds, for example. they make hair healthy & shiny
5) take a multivitamin, drink plenty of water, & eat healthy - the healthier you are, the more it will show in your hair
