Long hair tips

 Wow, Gelatin!?

 I never knew,...

 I know a balanced diet helps, along with vitamin and mineral supplements. I know putting beer on your hair before you rinse, adds body,..but I have yet to try that tip.

 I personally don't get all caught up on hair length. I'm very patient, in many ways. I only want hair touching my shoulders. I've got about3 inches to go. In the mean time, I think my hair looks pretty, and healthy;)

  Thanks,...

Hello all, this is my first post!

I'm more of a lurker than a poster but I've read a couple of threads in here asking for help/advice growing out your hair.  So here's what worked for me... a product called Cortexx.  It is no longer available but it got me passed my shoulders (damn near impossible hurdle for me to overcome before I started using it) 

The active ingredient is--don't laugh--gelatin.  Yeah.  I know, it sounds dumb, but the same stuff that makes your nails hard and healthy... (and, yes, the stuff you eat) helps your hair grow.  Now, I'm not sure if Jello per say will do much for you--although there are women who will swear by it--I will tell you that applying it to your hair works wonders.  If you can find it as an active ingredient in a shampoo or conditioner, use it.  It's one of those little quirky tips that you just have to try for yourself for you to believe.

Today, my hair is down to the small of my back. I found that once I was able to get my hair to grow passed my upper shoulders the rest was cake.
