Have hair to bra strap. Want it waist length. What else should I take?

I have fine-to-normal hair that's just a tiny bit past my butt. :)

I do not know of anything that can speed up your genetic growth rate potential, however, vitamins, exercise and proper nutrition will help maximize it.

I already have a fairly fast growth rate (3/4" - 1" a month), so the main thing I focus on is retaining the volume and slowing down fallout. I've been taking MSM, a multivitamin, vitamin C, calcium, and most recently started taking silica. I've found that my fallout has dramatically dropped from ~25 with the MSM alone to less than 10 with silica. I don't know how it will affect my growth rate because hair generally grows too slow to notice an effect for at least 3 months. Over the last year with the MSM, I've noticed my hair is growing in stronger, fuller, thicker (volume) and much, much softer.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, Merlin.

I used Viviscal a few years ago when my hair was really short. It really helped for a while. Then I started taking high doses of Amino Acids and that helped even more.

I may try Viviscal again since I've given it a break. Wish I could find it at a discount! Although I did noticed it helped my skin as well so that's a good bonus.

Btw, do many posters here have waist length hair? I loved Carolyn Besett Kennedy's long locks. Hopefully soon.

My growth spurt seems to have slowed down. I'm currently taking lots of Amino Acids, Biotin, and GNC's Ultra Hair (or something like that.)

Do you think if I added silica it would help or I'd see a difference?

I noticed a HUGE difference when I added biotin.

It's about 5 more inches until my waist. Wish I wasn't so tall because then it would already be there.

I'd love to know if anyone has found silica to be beneficial and/or any recs. for jump starting the cycle.

Thank you!
