yea 1/4 - 1/2 inch of growth. There is some formula called...HF37 I think that is supposed to make your hair growth 1 inch a month, I've heard that it works but it's a bit expensive. You can check it out to see if it's in your price range. But yea massages, hair/nail/skin vitams etc... they all work. I've also heard emu oil helps as well.
Oh side note about Formula... it's basically a 2 step pill program. The first pill is like a regular multivitamin the second pill is just a bunch of amino acids, hopefully that can help if you want to search for an alternative.
Oh whey is supposed to help too. You can find the powdered form and blend it into smoothies and drinks.
haha I keep editing because I know so many remedies for growth...
Top 10 foods for hair growth and their nutritional value:
If you want your hair to grow faster and healthier you just can't do without eating good food, or at least supplying your body with the nutrients you need.
Best eating plan for hair includes - protein, essential fatty acids and anti-oxidents.
If you want shiny healthy hair, one nutrient you cannot go without are essential fatty acids. They have been found to block an enzyme that creates DHT, which is a follicle-damaging androgen that causes hair loss.
"These 'good fats' are called Essential Fatty Acids because you body can't manufacture them. Therefore, it's essential you you get them from food or supplements. A deficiency in EFAs sows up as slow hair growth, excessively dry hair, and even hair loss."
Food rich in EFAs: wild salmon, tuna, trout, mackerel, sardines, olive oil, nuts, seeds and avocado.
