How Do I Make My Hair Grow Faster? DESPERATE, TOP PRIORITY!!!?
I am DESPERATE to have my hair back! I used to have long, dark brown curly hair that I loved and it was to me what a mane is to a lion. It was my confidence and pride! Then, some trailer trash guy with a dirty nasty mohawk ran up to me and touched my hair. I thought that was rude, and gross. I shrugged it off. 2 weeks later, I pulled a louse out of my hair and had to cut it all off to make it easier to get rid of them!! They're gone, but now I'm left with just a short, small coating of hair. I really want it back! Please help me somebody! If it helps, I'm overweight (not just a little, it's caused me to have hypertension and stretch marks), smack in the middle of puberty, half irish and half scottish, with extremely curly dark brown hair that has plenty of natural grease. I don't wash it too much, once every other day. Now that my hair is gone, I've lost half of my confidence and feel fat and short. Due to the kind of music and culture I'm interested in, long hair is important to me. If it isn't already obvious, I am male. Please any help that I can get! I don't mind vitamins, as long as they are sold at non-specialty stores and not very expensive. Seriously, I'm going crazy and I've been pretty depressed. This may seem like a minor issue to you all, but it was the only part of my being that I was proud of. To me, it was like an olympic sprinter having his legs taken off for no reason, or like the last elephant in the world shot just because someone wanted to try their new elephant gun. Don't post just to call me crazy, or say I need to get over it. That's not what I'm here for, I need answers, solutions to this dire problem.

Genetics is the main part in how fast your hair grows. Any suggestions will either be temporary or give you the maximum growth.
For vitamins you can use biotin (specific for hair growth) or a multivitamin. Other people have used Monistat. My source will show you how to use it. Massage your scalp about 10+ minutes a day. And be sure to have a healthy balanced diet and drink lots of water.
Once your hair starts growing again then be sure to be gentle with it so you won’t have damage.

alright, first of all, remember, hair grows. There are a few things I know that you can do. Number one, go out, and buy some omega 3 vitamins (fish oil vitamins) next what you can do, buy some conditioner, and when your ion the shower, leave it on for at least one minute. Lastly, massage your scalp for AT LEAST 15 minutes when you have downtime everyday. this causes the blood to flow stimulating hair growth. Good luck!

Hair grows an average of 1/2"/month. And curly hair will seem to take a lot longer to grow out. The best way is to eat a healthy diet, keep your scalp clean and stimulated (brushing like suggested, or give yourself a scalp massage when you wash your hair). Another thing that helps is a good quality shampoo and conditioner. I use Mane and Tail, it helps keep the hair strong so it doesn’t break off. You can also take Biotin (a B vitamin), it helps with hair growth.
Otherwise, just be patient and it’ll grow back out. It’s taken me 3 years to get mine from the middle of my back to down just past my waist, and it’s curly, too.

GENETICS controls your how your hair grows. Normally, hair will grow 1/4" to 1/2" inch per month. There are products that will make your hair stronger and healthier, but nothing will make it grow faster. If there was such a product, there would be no bald people and the makers couldn’t keep up with public demand.

It’s really a bummer that you cut your hair off because of head lice because you didn’t have to do that. Sorry. It just takes some medicine you can get at any drugstore. Bummer. Really.
Hair grows 1/4" to 1/2" per month. It grows a little faster in summer due to the heat. You’re right on track with the vitamins. Honestly the best ones, the ones that really work (personal experience) are sold online and are expensive. I have personally used Hair Formula 37 and it grew my hair faster. I am currently using Viviscal and it is definitely growing my hair healthier and thicker, even my eyelashes. I have heard good things about HairTopia. They all cost around $50 US per month and you’ll need to take them for at least 6 months or more, probably more like a couple of years to get really long hair again. (I’m sorry, dude, but it’s true.) Maybe you can find a way to earn $50 per month.
If you can’t afford those vitamins then just get a multi vitamin, a b complex vitamin, and some MSM (3000 mg per day). If you can’t do all of those then just the b complex and MSM. Go ahead and wash it every day. If it’s oily that’s what you should do. Use some conditioner too. Massage your scalp while you wash it. Also, try to get some exercise because any increase in circulation will bring more blood to your hair follicles and help your hair grow.
Oh, and don’t believe the bs that cutting it makes it grow faster. As long as you don’t have split ends then don’t cut it except every 6 months. About once a week or so hold some strands of hair up to the light and see if the ends are split. If not, keep growing. If so go for a trim.
Good luck and I’m really sorry about your loss.

why not try hair extensions to make u feel better until it grows back.i too had to cut off my long hair.i was devastated.so i tried the extensions and loved them.u can either get them professionally done (kinda expensive) or do wat i did.clip in hair extensions.they are well priced anywhere from 30 to 100 dollars.easy to use and look great.best part is u can put em in and take em rite back out.they come in all colors lengths curly or straight.u can cut em style em.they really helped wen i was missing my hair.i buy all mine on ebay.just type in clip in hair extensions or try a local beauty or hair store.but it does depend on length of ur hair now u gota have enough to cover clips but it doesnt take much
