I recently got my hair cut short and textured to look like the "messy" Meg Ryan look. My hair is highlighted very light. Hubby asked me to grow it long again and go back to my natural color. I personally dont like the short hair cut that I got, but do like the color. I also have my class reunion in a few months! So are there any real ways to grow hair out fast? herbs? conditioners? ANYTHIING??

Well, the only thing I'm hearing that is actually seeing results on a wide scale is Viviscal, but barring that you might want to try a vitamin called KAL Hair Force available from GNC. I use it and i do think it helps it grow to it's maximum potential. Lay off the blow dryers is another good tip. I used (and still do) Nexxus Therapee and Humectress conditioner, and it has helped my hair stay strong through highlighting, even thoughthe product has fixative in the shampoo, just switch with a trusted shampoo that doesn't have fixative(also beware of silicones-they build-up just like fixative and can make hair brittle which can cause breakage). Plus all the other usual tips for growing healthy hair-right brushes, etc. I'd deep-condition, too, since your hair is chemically processed-don't go overboard with protein ones, maybe every other week. Ask your stylist what is best. Maybe hot oil or another moisturizing deep-conditioner used alternately. Just don't be fooled into thinking that Hot oil always contains oil, it doesn't. Read the label.Don't trim more than every eight weeks, and then only 1/4 inch at the most. You can trim splits with the tips of haircutting scissors in the meantime, help parellel to the split. Hope this helps.

Sorry, that should have been HELD parallel, not help.By the way, I should have added that Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is not a good ingrediant in shampoos; it's very drying.Try to get the book "Don't Go Shopping For Haircare Products Without Me" by Paula Begoun. She lists all the ingredients you should watch out for in shampoos and conditioners-this is important if you want to grow your hair out, as well as just having a healthy hair and scalp for anybody, whether you're keeping your hair short OR long.I would also check out the long hair care sight for great instrunctions on to correctly wash and dry hair. Good luck!
