Growing your hair:

- Drink plenty of water! 64oz minimum a day, and when it is warmer than that outside you drink one more ounce per degree. Nothing on the body regenerates (including your hair!) like it should without enough water!

- There are keratin and other mineral/vitamin supplements formulated specifically for hair and nail growth. A wide variety, though I've never had to take these myself, I know a few women that have with much success. They should be in your pharmacy section of your local department stores!

- Daily multi-vitamin (as an adult, you need them anyway)

- Do not brush your hair right after exiting the shower, your hair is more likely to break off!! Use a wide-toothed comb if you must. =)

- Any coloring, blow drying, or intense styling is going to make your hair brittle and break off....and if your hair isnt healthy even when it grows it'll be breaking off so fast you won't notice it.

- MASSAGE YOUR HEAD EVERY TIME YOU SHOWER, and try to make this part of your day (maybe relaxing...get a bf or gf to do it!). Massaging stimulates the hair folicles by bringing more blood to the area, feeding the cells. I've also seen vibrating hair brushes for this purpose but that seemed like a waste of money to me. Stick to good ole' fingers.
