Hey there, I am trying to grow out my hair to sholder length, and am looking for something to help it along.  I've read a lot of good things about vitamins formulated for hair growth, but i was wondering which kind works best, since some are like $7 and some are$50...are the more expensive ones really worth it? 
if you guys know of a certian kind of vitamin that works well for hair health and growth, please let me know :)

I don't think vitamins make a difference in speed of growth, just the quality of the growth.. then again you can also eat a balanced diet and it would do almost the same thing. My long hair journey involved a few multivitamin tablets here and there, but other than that, nothing.
  • avoid fast food
  • eat food with as little processing as possible
  • eat poultry, fish, nuts, vegetables, dairy, foods rich in vitamin E and calcium
  • stay hydrated
  • exercise - this increases circulation, which could increase growth rate. I think exercise has a greater impact on growth rate than vitamins.

I agree with Anais Satin that the most important thing you can do is eat balanced and healthy and exercise.

Aside from that, I read that 3+ grams of MSM can make hair grow faster.  I'm taking it, and since I started it did start to grow faster, but I'm not sure if it's because of that because I also started walking for exercise regularly and the weather warmed up, and "they" say that speeds up hair growth.

I don't want to experiment by stopping taking the MSM because it also stopped my knees from grinding, so I guess I may never know.
