How Can I Make My Hair Grow?

Question by Katie: How can I make my hair grow?
I had cancer and I did radiation for 2 weeks. It’s been 2 months seen i did radiation and my hair won’t grow. So I was wondering what can I do for it to grow?

Answer by Nicole
Things I recommend:

-Maine and Tail hair shampoo and conditioner (doubles hair growth)
-Moroccan oil (spelling?), the oil and hair mask
-Getting a cut 3 times a year
-Combing instead of brushing hair when its wet
-Rarely using heat on your hair
-Using a repairing shampoo every so often

An average person’s hair grows from 1/2 an inch to an inch every month. So it could vary between 2 inches and 4 inches without using the Maine and Tail products.

Good luck! 🙂

If you’ve straightened your hair in the past, it may grow slowly or none at all.
Google: “Foods for Healthy Hair” http://www.foodforhealthyhair.com/ http://sg.news.yahoo.com/food-for-healthy-hair.html – or 10 Best Foods for Your Hair.

NO MATTER which link you picked, they all suggest the same foods. Your hair may be the fastest-growing tissue in the body but, unlike the skin, it cannot repair itself. That is why getting the right balance of vitamins and proteins is imperative. Don’t expect to look like you’ve stepped out of a hair commercial the day after you’ve changed your diet. It is likely to take at least three months before you actually see tangible results. Hair is dead, but hair also has electrical energy; the negative charge of damaged hair can lead to flyways and unruly hair.

Growing healthy hair doesn’t come from a bottle or pills and hair products do not speed hair growth. Any hair oil, is another form to keep hair moisturized, nothing more. If you’re in HS, your hair & nails should be growing normally, and as healthily as possible, since you’re eating healthy foods. But when hair isn’t growing as fast, it’s because they’ve been tampered with: chemicals, hair straightening, etc. . .
HEAT & CHEMICALS are hair’s worst enemies. Avoid those best you can.
Supplements, medications, anti-acne products, hair oil, birth control pills, pollution in the water, to name just a few . . . ALL HAVE SIDE EFFECTS. Example: “I used minoxidil drug to restore the hair on my head; however, I ended up with unwanted body hair. I don’t know if it is temporary or I have to seek medical treatment.” YA poster 9-27-12. Four men are charged in federal court for selling home-brewed hair growth drugs online. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/54991911-78/ahn-growth-hair-kim.html.csp
Any reactions to a drug – like Vitamin B complex which is a supplement – ‘side effect’ is a negative reaction to a drug – this is your body telling you that what you just gave it is toxic to it, and instead of helping you, it is actually hurting you.  It is your body’s way of telling you to stop.  All drugs have side effects, and are toxic…even lethal…to some people at some dosage.  Another term for toxic is poisonous.  We owe it to ourselves to try less toxic treatments first.  Especially since too many drugs merely cover up symptoms rather than treat the underlying cause of the symptom in the first place. Another example: Green Tea supplement: Green tea extract supplements have been linked to several cases of liver damage. Green tea extracts might make liver disease worse.

ANTIOXIDANTS FRUITS: Cranberries, blueberries, and blackberries ranked highest among the fruits studied. Apples ran a close second, and dried fruits were also leading contenders. Peaches, mangos, and melons, while scoring lower than berries, still contain plenty of antioxidants as well as other nutrients. Make a smoothie. Watercress prevents all types of cancer, breast specially, can be added 2-3x a week!
