Growing long hair: i have so many questions?

ive read a lot about growing hair but
First, yesterday I bought Mane 'n Tail shampoo & conditioner and I used it this morning and I want to hear about people who used that and the results. I've heard about "pre-natal" vitamins and it sounds weird? I did use some womens once-a-day thing in spring break and it really seemed like that worked! haha. and i drink a lot of water. what about trimming hair? How much should you trim when you do get it trimmed? I havent gotten a haircut since like February? and I know it's probably bad NOT to cut it but i'm so anxious to make it long that I don't want to even trim it. my hair in 6th grade was like past my boobs.. haha and was/am about 5'6 and thats pretty long i didnt cut it all that year and you could barely tell i had split ends. i straightened it everyday in the school year and it was barely fried and i had no layers. now when i straighten it its just past my armpit and i have a lot of layers and i dont know what to do.. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vitamins for hair growth?

So i had pretty long hair at the beginning of summer and for some reason i decided to go for a cute bob. I liked it for a while but now its just driving me crazy, not being able to pull it all back, having to style it because of the cut its in, whatever. So of course i have heard prenatal vitamins are the way to go for faster growing hair. While i dont think it would be bad for me at all, why bother with them when there are other things that could do the same? So from walgreens I bought biotin, and got something free with it so i chose ginko. Then i decided to get floic acid and could get something free with this too so decided to just get prenatal vitamins. I have not yet started taking any of them and would just like to know peoples views on the topic and what they have experienced with these vitamins.

HELP!!! how can i make my hair thicker? it's sheds way too much and i'm only 15!!!?

i think i've been getting poor nutrition and had school stress (i'm too young for this!) for a while now...
and my hair is falling out/shedding...like a LOT! it's really too thin now...

so, which VITAMINS (A, B, C, iron, folic acid, phosphate, etc.???) and which shampoos/conditioners or growing creams you can buy in stores are good for growing hair thicker and just MORE hair folicles (i think that's the word)?

also, how can exactly does the stress and poor nutrition affect hair (the chemical aspect of it)? what is good for stress that causes hair issues like this?

thanks for helping me out in advance! ^____^

How long does biotin take to work? 10pts. best answer?

I started taking biotin 2 weeks ago.. because I have slow growing hair..I really would like to grow brastrap length hair..
I cant swallow pills so I crush up 5 or 6 Nature's Bounty biotin pills and swallow the powder with water or my morning tea.. then I take a tablespoon of Centrum Liquid ( has b-vitamins)

Question:::::: HOW long will it take biotin to start working? I feel tingling sensations on my scalp as if its working... How long..

How much growth do you get a month since you started biotin?

Please I want to hear from people who have used it before.. not the biotin critics.. I cannot afford expensive vitamins that have biotin as the main ingrdient when I can buy it for 8.49 at rite aid...

Please answer me biotin users.

Ladies, important info about neonatal vitamins for non pregnant women…?

I've been seeing a lot of girls and women recommending neonatal vitamins for growing hair and nails faster HOWEVER, if you're not pregnant, there are certain vitamins that are in neonatal supplements which can be excessive and cause serious health problems if you're not pregnant and needing to take in nourishment for two. I know it doesn't sound like much, but seriously, some vitamins are absorbed by the body using water, and if we take too much, we'll just pee them out, no biggy, but others need fat from our diet to be absorbed. These fat-soluble vitamins as they're called, like Vitamin A and Folic Acid for example, can't just flush out of our system if we take too much. So taken in excess, they can build up, and as in the case of Vitamin A for example can lead to liver damage, so instead of helping your hair and nails to grow faster, it can eventually make your skin and eyes turn yellow and your hair fall out. So please, use a regular multi if you're not pregnant and if you want your hair and nails to grow faster and stronger, take extra Biotin which is one of the B vitamins and is water soluble, so you'll just pee it out if your body can't use as much as you're taking, and it's very inexpensive, less than at Walmart. Just concerned about my sisters:)

Nutrition supplements for hair and nails?

I used to live in a humid place and my hair was really healthy and long. and recently i moved to a place that has really dry air so my hair started drying up and breaking. i noticed my nails are brittle too. so i want hair and nail supplements but i don't know which brand to get. i went to the vitamin store and they had so many different kinds. My question is what brand do you think is the most trustworthy and has the best quality. Please list the price or where i can purchase it. If you have any tips or advice on growing hair that would be helpful too. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question :)

Why isn’t my hair growing? Shampoos?

Hey everyone,

My hair is a little past my shoulders, and I really want to grow it out. I have a healthy balanced diet, and i eat pretty healthy. I have volleyball three times a week and we do intense drills so I get a lot of exercise and I am very in shape. I take vitamins, and I wash my hair every day, if not then every two days.

I got my hair cut on about the 30th of august, but it doesn't seem to be growing at all, if so then not a lot.

Why isn't my hair growing? What can I do to make it grow faster? Are there any shampoos specially for growing hair?
I also keep my hair well trimmed and don't damage my hair much with straighteners and chemicals.

Please help, respond accordingly.
Thanks!

PS - I don't want to take any weird pills or anything, but if there are any regular vitamins that I could just buy at the drug store that help with hair growth, that would be great.
