I have had a very good experience with Formula 37 (sold on this site). The amount of growth and the condition of the hair after taking it for just a month was amazing. It comes with a 45 day guarantee so you really can`t lose giving it a try. I haven`t personally tried them, but I hear people also get very good results with Nature`s Bounty Vitamins for Hair (sold at Wal-Mart). Hope this helps and good luck!! Hang in there growing your hair out.

Since hair is protein, a diet that is too low in protein may cause a thinning of the hair or a retardation in the growth cycle. The opposite is also true, if you eat a protein-rich diet it will often result in improved hair growth. Some studies suggest the dietary utilization of brewer`s yeast, wheat germ and a daily dose of two tablespoons of granulated lecithin to maximize hair growth, strength and beauty. Other good food sources for protein include fish, eggs, beans and yogurt. Soy protein has also been found to be helpful in stimulating hair growth. One study of the results of soy on the hair found that it not only strengthened the hair but caused it to grow. A great source of soy is tofu. Excessive stress and some medications are conclusively known to retard hair growth. If you have a medical condition and your physician has prescribed medications you should follow your doctor`s orders regardless of the impact to your hair. Do not undertake any new type of vitamin or mineral program until you make sure it does not interfere with any medical treatment you may currently be on. If you are under severe stress it is helpful to reduce the stress as much as possible. Cut back on any major stress in your life and your hair will love you for it. Another secret hair helper is rest and sleep. It has been discovered that to grow faster, hair needs an adequate amount of sleep (7-9 hours are suggested). Eat right, exercise, reduce stress, rest, gets lots of sleep and you are well on your way to maximizing your hair growth potential. Good luck and I hope you get your long hair back as soon as possible!

I checked another book I have about hair and found these tips for growing hair: 1) Eliminate or cut back on smoking, caffeine and fizzy drinks which weaken the body and block maximum growth. 2) Eat a healthy diet, avoid foods that are high in sugar or fat. 3) Treat your hair carefully and avoid any unnecessary brushing, combing or handling. 4) Avoid the use of hot water, hot blow dryers and other hair care tools that may stress the hair. 5) Have a weekly scalp massage to provide stimulation to the hair follicles. 6) Have regular trims to eliminate split ends and allow the hair to look and feel healthier. 7) Believe it or not, the water you use to wash your hair can cause damage if it is too chlorinated. After you wash your hair, just rinse with mineral water, it will make a big difference to the split ends. You have a lot of things to try now. Let us know if you try any of them and which ones worked for you. Happy growing!!!!
