I wonder what supplements if any does anyone in this forum take for hair growth. I would say that i wash my hair about 4-5 times a week and i ocassionally take vitamins fighting that gag reflex. Last year my hair grew from 14 to 20 and seems to have really stalled for the past year.....i really want it to grow. Can anyone offer me some suggestions thanks alot. PS i dont use heat in my hair but i do have a relaxer ------------- currently 22 inches of hair from hairline to ends but i aspire to be 28 inches from hair line to ends in at least a year....currently relaxed 3c |

Water, Water, Water. It makes such a huge difference. I take a multivitamin and MSM. I would love to find a good chewable adult vitamin though. I think I would take it regularly then. ------------- http://public.fotki.com/Honeydoo pw: bombay |

Water and a multivitamin. I should state, that I never thought about taking vitamins specifically for hair growth. There is a lack of certain vitamins caused by foods that I don't eat or can't eat (ex. fish or milk). Therefore, I take a vitamin to replenish those that I lack. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

I hear you cmeseet. I've had my experiences with the MSM, biotin, Nourishair, they just didn't work for me. The GNC Nourishair made my hair thicker...but my hair is already thick. ------------- 100% Natural BC - 4/21/07 Love All Gods' Creatures |
The vitiamins I take are flaxseed oil & Centrum. I don't want to speed up my hair growth. I just wnat it to grow on it's own.
