I agree with posters here that support a supplement for hair growth(can do a search on sites such as drugstore.com,mothernature.com,evitamins...

I can also suggest a hair oil made my Weleda-its a rosemary oil. I started using it about 8 or 9 years ago to stimulate my hair growth after a real short haircut.

Not only did I notice it sped up my hair's growth, but it conditions and smooths out any frizz and makes my hair silky soft and easier to style and manage! It works on a trial and error basis. Never apply it to dry hair-only damp hair. And the more hair you have, the more you'll need-but use it a little at a time b/c if you use a whole bunch at first, the hair will be too oily. With just the right amount, it won't be oily at all. If your friend has curly hair, it'll accentuate her curls and make her hair be and appear bouncy and healthy. I absolutely LOVE this stuff!

Herbal Supplements to grow hair more quickly?

I have tried doing this. My hair grows slow and it bugs me alot. I tried supplements and shampoos and allthat stuff. Basically what I learned through it all is this. 1. you need to have the basic building blocks of hair in your body for hair to grow- how do you do this? Take a regular MULTI VITAMIN like centrum. I like kids chewables (I'm an adult) that work just as good and taste good too. The super vitamins do nothing, your bod can only absorb so much in one day the rest you just pee out and is a waste 2. CIRCULATION needs to be good- in the summer you are warmer and circulation is better thus hair gets fed easier by good corculation. massaging your head can help hair grow faster- do this while laying down to help it get to your head. 3 STRESS can make hair grow slower, so get out and have fun and relax too.

All the supplements and such I tried for years did nothing, and I spent a ton of money on them too. Some peope just have slower growing hair, you cant control everything. But give the three above a try and see if it does help some :)
