sam starky asked in Beauty & StyleHair · 1 decade ago

what will make my hair super healthy?

So my hair was past my boob, really long. And I wanted to change things up, so I was a complete idiot and cut it. It was like at my shoulder and now it grew back to right above my boob. I'm going for like Miley Cyrus hair. This is my freshman year in high school, and I want my hair back pretty long at least for school pictures. And I want it back FAST! So I need some stuff to make it grow back faster. If you tell me any products whatsoever, please tell how much they cost and where to get them. And I know some people will say "you can't make your hair grow faster." I just need stuff to make it SUPER healthy. Thanks alot ;)

    Faster? Not even Rome was built in a week!

    It may grow very slowly or none at all if you've straightened your hair in the past.

    You get all your vitamins & minerals & proteins FREE from the good foods you eat from Mother Nature, not made by man, and no shampoo can help grow hair, not even those made for horses. Horses don't abuse their hair, using heating tools, and they eat better than people, but it won't add more hair & make their hair longer faster.Shampoo intended for animals may contain insecticides or other medications for treatment of skin conditions or parasite infestations such as fleas or mange. These must never be used on humans.

    Prenatal vitamins don't make your hair grow. Pregnant women have to start taking care of their bodies when they're pregnant, meaning stop smoking, drinking, dyeing or perming their hair SO OF COURSE their hair start growing again. But it has nothing to do with their hair, it has something to do to help the development of their unborn child.

    Foods for Healthy Hair - the website had moved, type it in.

    http://health.yahoo.com/experts/healthie%E2%80%A6

    Fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains all supply B-complex vitamins, like biotin, folic acid and vitamin B12, as well as vitamin A, copper and zinc, which are all necessary for remedying dry, brittle hair and nourishing a healthy scalp. Some prime examples of foods that contain these nutrients for healthy hair include:

    ·                     Folic Acid - asparagus, beets, broccoli, avocados, Brussels sprouts, beans, chickpeas, soybeans, lentils, oranges, fresh peas, turkey and spinach.

    ·                     Biotin - cauliflower, liver, salmon, carrots, bananas, cereals, yeast, and soy flour. Keep in mind that biotin content is reduced when food is cooked or preserved.

    ·                     Vitamin B12 - foods rich in vitamin B12 include animal protein (such as beef, lamb, and veal), clams and oysters, liver, fish, milk, and egg yolks.

    • Vitamin A - butter, egg yolks, fish, fortified milk, organ meats (such as liver), and dark green, orange, red, and yellow fruits and vegetables, which all contain beta-carotene.

    • Copper - oysters and other shellfish, whole grains, beans, nuts, potatoes, and organ meats are good sources of copper. Dark leafy greens, dried fruits such as prunes, cocoa, black pepper, and yeast are also sources of copper in the diet.

    • Zinc – beef, eggs, liver, pork, poultry, and oysters. Also is also abundant in other high-protein foods, like cheese, legumes and nuts.

    If having a lush, beautiful mane of healthy hair is important to you, don’t just look to hot oil treatments and shine emollients. Eat these foods for healthy hair and say “bye-bye” to bad hair days.

    Sources:

    I know hair. I have 4 decades of hair know-how. I have silky, shiny, soft, smooth very healthy hair down to my knees. Previously damaged by perming & dyeing in the 80's & 90's. I've known people in their 30's whose hair stopped growing from ironing their hair in the 70's.

    If anyone tells you to use horse shampoo please do me a favor and punch them in the face. The best you can do for your hair is internally, at least to get it to grow. The hair cuticle is inside your body where products don't reach. So take your vitamins and avoid stress.

    As for your actual hair. Be gentle, try not to cause breakage or damage. Use products like heat protectant and try blow drying instead of straightening. Get trims about every 6 to 7 weeks to rid of dead ends that would end up breaking off anyway.

    By the way, Miley Cyrus wears hair extensions.

    So i use this type of hair oil called Vatika. Its like an Indian hair oil thing. Its filled with herbs and lemon and henna [which btw is super super great for your hair]. I'm not sure where you live but if you know any indian or bengali or pakistani stores just go in there and ask them for either hair oil or coconut oil for your hair. the parachute coconut oil is about 1.99 for a small bottle but around 14.99 for the big one.

    Keep in mind these products have a strong rich smell of herbs and such products but the smell goes away after shampooing dw (:

    and i used to use it everyday which made my hair grow longer so fast! and i started up againa nd my hairs already gotten thicker supershiny and longer =]

    The answers below also have good advice. but for the product, you can try using "Mane and Tail" I think that's what it's called. You can search it up on youtube and it said that it can be used for animals and humans too. They also said that it does make your hair grow, so I guess you can use that for a product.

    btw, I never looked at that one, I just picked it out. you can type mane and tail shampoo and conditioner review if you want to look at another.

    Source(s): I've been searching for certain conditioners and I came across some reviews. The mane and tail ones are usually good reviews :)

    If you want to know, I tried to get my hair to grow long and I tried Pantene. It is the best. You can wash it every day, also, every morning when you take a shower.

    Source(s): I got my source from reading different magazines over the years. It seemed to work.
