    nope- nothing you put on the outside will make hair grow- only things you put on the inside- protein and biotin. particularly biotin- its a supplement like a vitamin

    Your hair only grows about 1/2 inch every couple of months, what prevents this from happening is how healthy your hair is or isn't, There is no trick to make it grow, just keep it healthy and trim it every 6-8 weeks. A deep conditioning should get you off to the right start. When you apply the conditioner (any kind will do) put a shower cap on your head for about 10 mins. It ll take a couple of days but once your hair is Healthy you'll start to notice it is growing.

    yeah, olive oil will help it grow. olive oil has great proteins in it which are great for your hair. remember to let the oil stay there for a little while though, so your hair can suck up the proteins and be healthier ofcourse. olive oil is real helpful and you can use it for your hair to help it grow.

    Patrick Stewart is under the impression that olive oil will help grow back his hair... I mean, why else is his head always shiny and healthy looking?

    No oil will not do anything for you hair except sit there and make it look shiney and greasy. If you want your hair to grow your going to have to be patient. Hair grows aprox. 1/2 inch each month.

    I doubt it...it may give hair some nutrition, but you'd be better off to just take vitamins and avoid the greasy after effects.
