BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Hair How to accelerate hair growth

I sorta wish my hair would stop growing. I can just about sit on it. I don't want to cut it but i don't want it to grow anymore. I guess what trims are for huh. my hair is so thick n heavy its putting strain on my neck like pulling my head back. ;(

yes, I think it's due to no longer pulling the hair up so much (you know summers) or swimming in cholorine and such, so the hair is healthier and is allowed to grow again easily

That's a good thought but I haven't been swimming or pulling may hair up this summer and my hair is still growing faster than usual.

are you taking more folic acid, biotin, or vitamins a c and e? Less stress? Better nutrician?

Nope. This happens every year at this time. Many of my clients report the same. (maybe we are like my cat - getting our winter coat )

I have always noticed this, too - and I actually did think it sort of correlated to the weather. The body's hair grows faster as the weather cools off, and it slows down as it warms up. The reason I say this, is beacause I even need to shave my legs less often in the winter.

Have you tried using Biotin? I swear after I started taking biotin supplement daily, my hair grew super fast - like it hadn't grown in years and now that I take Biotin, it grows really fast. My hairdresser keeps commenting on it.

Hi Delia,
Welcome to the forum.
Yes, biotin is an important nutrient for healthy hair.
This article talks about it and some other nutrients that are important.
Thicker Healthier Hair

I always recommend Biotin, Follic Acid, Fish Oil, and a daily supplement to my clients to keep their hair, skin, and nails beautiful, strong, and fast.

I was always told that by using larger amounts of shampoo while washing it will help hair grow faster... I have always done this... not sure if it's just like the old sugar pill thing but I always thought it seemed to work...
