Any tips on how to make your hair grow faster?

I am in the middle of letting my bangs grow out and they are past my nose now ..i just try and style my hair with the side bang look but it is frustrating waiting on them to grow out ....I found a site that had some good information on growing your hair I hope it is helpful for you ...

Unfortunately many people are not aware of the fact that while hair can be extraordinarily resilient, once it has emerged from your scalp is has no facility for renewing itself. It is considered to be dead protein.

The average person has around 100,000 strands of hair on their head and the average rate of growth is a mere one-half of an inch per month.

By the time the ends of your hair actually grow down to your shoulders, they are approximately two years old.

Think about it. Two years is a long time for hair to be subjected to the daily wear and tear of the environment, washing, drying, brushing, combing and any chemical processing. Just imagine what a piece of silk or fine fabric would look like after 2 years of constant handling.

Even if you take the best care of your hair possible, your hair still goes through a natural aging process which can also impact the growing cycle of your hair.

Maximizing Your Growth Cycle

The right vitamins and minerals play a major role in keeping your hair healthy. Any nutritional deficiencies can lead to thinning hair or even total baldness.

It is a well known fact that an under active thyroid can result in frizzy or brittle hair while an overactive thyroid turn hair greasy and limp.

The bottom line to this thread is that your hair ultimately reflects the overall condition of your body. If your body is healthy and well nourished, your hair will be your shining glory.

If you are having any health problems or suffering from any nutritional deficiencies, your hair may stop growing or show damage.

If your body is in good health, you can maximize your genetic growth cycle through taking the proper blend of amino acids and B-vitamins.

It is also important to include B-6, biotin, Inositol and folic acid in the supplemental program. It has been found that certain minerals including magnesium, sulfur, silica and zinc are also very important toward maintaining healthy hair.

Beta-carotene is also essential to hair growth. This is because it is converted to vitamin A as the body needs it, helps maintain normal growth and bone development, protective sheathing around nerve fibers, as well as promoting healthy skin, hair and nails.

Beta-carotene is found in green and yellow vegetables and fruits.

Protein Is Important

Since hair is protein, a diet that is too low in protein may cause some thinning in hair or a retardation in the growth cycle. The converse is true, If you eat a protein-rich diet it will often result in improved hair growth.

Some nutritional experts suggest the dietary utilization of calves liver, brewer's yeast, wheat germ and a daily dose of two tablespoons of granulated lecithin to maximize hair growth, strength and beauty.

Other good food sources for protein include fish, eggs, beans and yogurt. Soy protein has also been found to be helpful in stimulating hair growth.

One study of the results of soy on the hair found that it not only strengthened the hair but caused it to grow. A great source of soy is tofu.

Growth Blockers

Excessive stress and some medications are conclusively known to retard hair growth. If you have a medical condition and your physician has prescribed medications it is imperative that you follow your doctor's orders regardless of the impact to your hair,

Warning: Always consult your doctor BEFORE you undertake any new type of vitamin, mineral program or herbal program of any type to make sure it does not interfere with any medical treatment you may currently be on.

However, if you are under severe stress it is helpful to reduce the stress as much as possible. Consider meditation or relaxation as a way to cut back on any major stress in your life. Your hair will love your for it.

Another secret hair helper is rest and sleep. It has been discovered that to grow faster, hair needs an adequate amount of sleep (7-9 hours are suggested).

Hair Growing Supplements

Eat right, exercise, reduce stress, rest, gets lots of sleep and your are well on your way to maximizing your hair growth potential.

You can either take a good supplement that contains the necessary vitamins and minerals or you can make up your own formula.

I have personally had some long term success (at least for me) with the HairTopia vitamins that are specifically designed to assist the body with the maximum hair growth building blocks.

For more details check out Jane Bullock's review of the Hairtopia Vitamins and also get the facts on what the vitamins consist of.

While eating the proper foods that contain all the necessary vitamins and minerals will help, it is a lot more difficult to guarantee that you will get all the vitamins and minerals you need from the foods you eat.

List of Supplements

In addition to making lifestyle changes, taking the following supplements every day can boost hair growth for many people:

* Vitamin B-complex - 50 mg. of the major B-vitamins (including folate, biotin and inositol)

* Vitamin B-6 - 50 mg. of vitamin B-6

* Vitamin C with bioflavonoids - one to two grams daily

* Vitamin E - 400 to 800 IU daily

* Beta-Carotene - 10,000 to 15,000 IU of beta-carotene daily

* One recommended daily dose of magnesium, sulfur, zinc

* Silica (horsetail) - 300 mg. daily

* Nettle - 250 mg. three times daily

* Flaxseed oil - one tbsp daily or one tablet

* Beta-Carotene - 10,000 to 15,000 IU of beta-carotene daily

Hair Growing Tips

Some hair loss experts have discovered that people have excellent hair growing results by following the Zone Diet, which is low in fat. Many other hair care experts recommend the Zone Diet as very helpful for hair care concerns.

Here are some other hair growing tips:

1. Eliminate or cut back on smoking, caffeine and carbonated sodas which weaken the body and block maximum hair growing potential.

2. Eat a healthy diet. Avoid foods that are high in sugar or fat.

3. Treat your hair like a piece of fine old lace. Treat it carefully avoiding any unnecessary brushing, combing or handling.

4. Avoid use of hot water, hot blow dryers or other hair care tools that may stress the hair.

5. Have a weekly scalp massage to provide stimulation to the hair follicles.

6. Do a series of ongoing hot oil treatments to protect the hair's shaft.

7. Have regular trims to eliminate split ends and allow the hair to look and feel healthier.

8. Get plenty of rest and sleep to allow your body to grow hair.

Hair Growing Tips

The answer to "instant hair growth" is that there isn't any. There is no magic bullet. If you want to go from a short Bob to long flowing locks instantly than you do have some options, but depending on a variety of factors, they may be limited. Your best bet for overnight long hair is to consider hair extensions, clip on ponytails or long wigs.

Good Luck ~~

I was told to take B vitamins - also there is a supplement in the vitamin isle called hair and nails that is supposed to help - not sure if they really work though.

Brushing your hair stimulates the scalp that makes it grow faster.

I've had bangs and had to grow them out. I suggest eating foods such as carrots, flax breads, whole wheat grains and lots of veggies like broccoli and cauliflower. Your hair won't grow TONS faster, but you'll notice that it will grow a little faster and lots shinier since your hair is getting the nutrients that it needs--until then I suggest pulling your bangs straight back on your head and clipping them down. Play with what you have! It could look cute!

(I don't suggest using "hair thickening" creams, shampoos and such for it because this only helps the outside of the hair folicles and has no long-term effects)

My hair has always grown very slowly my whole life. So yah take:

B complex vitamin

Biotin (a B vitamin, found mostly in eggs but also in tablet supplement form, this one is the BEST for hair growth so far)

Vitamin E

Coconut oil or olive oil: Melt about a half of a cup, massage it on your head. Leave it on for like an hour but not to long. This makes it really soft!

You can also use aloe vera gel.

Theres shampoo called "Mane N Tail". I use it. it makes your hair grow thicker and fuller.

A diet high in Omega 3 fatty acids. Eat salmon, tuna, olive oil, or supplement form.

Regular trimming. When you have split ends your hair will keep breaking off as it grows so it will seem like it's staying the same length.

Scalp massage. I do it for an hour a day. Don't do it all in one hour but like do 10 minutes in the morning 10 minutes later and so on. It opens up hair follicules and increases blood circulation.

Try not to blow-dry and flat-iron your hair too often. If you have to, try doin' one..like let your hair air-dry and then flat-iron it.

Only wash your hair 2-3 times a week. It keeps the hairs natural oil on it and helps it so it won't dry out.

Careful with the products you add to your hair. That's just causing build-up. You should get a clarifying conditioner or any product that removes build-up.

You need to keep your hair moisturized. So you need a moisturizer particularly water-based (look for a hair product with water/aqua as the first ingredient--such as ORS Olive Oil). Coconut milk, olive oil and honey leave your hair shiny and smooth.

After you wash your hair, you should add a leave-in and then moisturizer and oil or an oil moisturizer.

Dont brush or comb your hair when its wet. it will cause breakage

Eat lots of protein and Take vitamins. Hair, Skin and Nails works really good. Also eat a lot of Vegetables and fruits.

"Use what's in your kitchen. Add eggs or mayonaise (protein) honey, soft, ripe avocado, coconut, or olive oil (softness/silkiness/moisture), crushed garlic (prevents breakage), or cayenne pepper (stimulates growth) to your conditioning treatments for awesome, at-home special treatment!" Kinikakes

Drink lots of water too 8 glasses a day (a glass is 1 cup) and watch what you eat. Drink milk and protein shakes.

I don't know if this is true but...Wearing your hair up in a scrunchy will open up your hair follicules which helps it grow faster. Just don't tie it to tight because then it will cause breakage.

When you're brushing your hair...try to bend over and brush from the back to the tip.

Good luck.
