My friends and I have a contest going to see who can grow the longest hair in one year. I have heard that certain kinds of pills will make hair grow faster – is this true or just hype? If it’s true, what are the best ones to use?
I can see why you want to know how to make your hair grow faster and the answer is yes, it is true there are things you can do to up the normal hair growth rate and one of them is vitamin and mineral supplements. If you are in good overall health, you can support faster hair growth with a good blend of amino acids, B vitamins including B6, Inositol, biotin and folic acid. Minerals should include magnesium, sulfur, zinc, iron, and silica. Beta-Carotene is another essential and can be found in yellow fruits and veggies.
Hair is made of protein so a protein rich diet often improves the rate of hair growth. Some nutritional advisors think things like calves liver, wheat germ and brewers yeast will help as well as two tablespoons of granulated lecithin per day. Some more foods high in protein are fish, beans, eggs, and yogurt. Soy is said to strengthen hair and cause it to grow and you get soy from tofu.
You can get everything you need to grow hair faster by eating all the right foods. But the trouble is, we don’t always do that. So I understand why you are looking for a “magic pill” which is much simpler to take. So the nearest thing you’ll find all in one pill is a really good prenatal (pregnancy) vitamin.
In addition, take really good care of your hair by using only natural ingredient herbal shampoo and other grooming products and avoid even the popular brands if they have any chemicals in them at all (and unfortunately most of them do). Go online and look at some of the sites like growfabuloushair for all organic herbal shampoos and other products which won’t harm and will help grow hair faster
