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.
How to grow out long hair?
I have been trying forever to grow my hair out long. I literally do anyting i find out about. I dont wash my hair everyday, i massage my scalp everyday, i use nothing but a wide toothed comb after/in the shower, i use mane and tail shampoo and sometimes the conditioner, i take vitamins including biotin, and tomorrow im goinh to the store to get a deep conditioner for my hair (i want the aussie three minute miracle because i heard it works well) and i get my hair trimmes every six weeks but it just will not grow! I do straighten my hair almost every day but i always always always use a heat protectant and i have a ghd which has special technology which you can read about...not here. I simply cant go without straightening my hair and im not explaining. I just cant. I have retarded inconsistent frizzy curls. Bottom line is i take amazing care of my hair and it just wont grow. I even braid it overnight sometimes because i heard it makes your hair grow. Please i am so desperate for long hair i will take any advice.
How to nourish dehydrated, frizzy, fried hair?
I've dyed my hair a bit too much, and though it's been 3 months since I last dyed it, I still shed like a cat.
And when I DON'T use a straightener, it's a wavy, curly, frizzy, coarse feeling, MESS.
When I do it's super soft...but I'd rather not keep losing my hair please.
I also try not to straighten my hair much. (not more than 1 or 2x a week.)
And I wash It every 2-3 days.
I use two conditioners, one of which is supposedly a 'deep' conditioner..It's by Garnier Fructis....
Would taking vitamins help?
Or do I need to go get a professional Protein and deep conditioning treatment performed at a salon?
Homemade remedies, or store bought remedies would be useful.
I have thick hair, original light brown, dyed black. Cut about 5-6 inches below my shoulder, and in too many layers to count, starting at the top of my ears.
My hair went from light brown, to dark brown, to black, back to dark brown, to red/blonde, back to black, and then the roots re-dyed black again. All since late October, 2008.
I also went most of late june, early july without straightening it but once.
(it was for about 3 weeks, but no matter what I do, almost enough hair to clog the drain comes out every time i take a shower and run my fingers through my hair. :/ )
OH, I'm also looking to get my hair to grow out..
It was down to my waist early 2008, and i cut it off to my shoulders in march, 2008. :( I miss my long hair.
How can you prevent damaged hair with heat tools if you use them everyday?
I have really wavy/poofy hair that makes me look really weird if I don't do something with it.
I usually straighten my hair every morning. (I rarely use a curling iron. It takes to long. xD)
I want to grow my hair longer, and make sure it's healthy in the process. (I've read everywhere that you shouldn't use heat tools often.) I HAVE to use them though.
I take daily vitamins. (E, Evening Primrose, Hair Skin and Nails), I deep condition almost everyday, I only use semi-perm hair dye (Or the really nice Loreal permanent. ((I don't dye my hair that often. My hair is it's natural color right now.))
I'm going to be cutting my really long hair short, but then I'll want it long again after a short while.
How can I prevent the damage of heat products to my hair if I HAVE to use them everyday?
While still having my hair grow healthy and faster?
Products? I can never find any at the store, I don't know what to look for, and I'm not sure if it would actually work.
Thanks. x Lauren.

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.

What helps your hair grow the fastest?
Just last weekend, I got a really short hair cut.
It wasn't the length I wanted at all.. and I really miss my long hair.
Naturally, my hair grows slightly faster than the average person, but I've been looking for something that might speed it up a little more.
I've heard good stuff on jojoba oil, and I've heard of taking different vitamins.
I know trimming helps it, and I plan to do that, too.
But, does anybody have any more information on what will help my hair?
Does jojoba oil work?
What's the best, healthiest, and safest way to help my hair grow faster?
