Any tried and true remedies for faster hair growth

Posted By Cat (Tauranga, New Zealand) on 01/25/2012

Does anyone have any tried and true remedies for faster hair growth? I have fine, blonde hair that breaks off easily on the ends (due to some bleaching which I've now stopped) but my rate of hair growth is also very slow and wonder if there's anything that would speed it up and maybe thicken it. I'm 46 years old, consume a lot of organic foods, rarely ever eat processed, weight 55kg, very clear skin, drink alcohol only occasionally, don't smoke etc etc.

At the moment, I'm taking Folic Acid, Evening Primrose capsules, Fish Oil, Spirulina, Kelp and tissue salts. I have previously taken Biotin but found it did nothing except cost me money. I have also started using Castor Oil mixed with Organic Coconut Oil (which I use for pulling) and massaging it into my scalp... I'm yet to notice a difference... Any other answers would be appreciated. THANKS (great website)!!

Yes, I do have a solution to hair growth. It is all natural. You boil soup bones, or any bones leftover from a meal, for a few hours. Salt and pepper to taste, and drink. (or use in soup with other ingredients) Drink at least a cup per day, and results should be noticed soon.

It is basically broth, but the natural gelatin in the bones is the magic ingredient for hair growth. When it cools down in the fridge, if it turns into a jello like consistency, you have a great broth. If it is still liquid while cold, then it is not so good. When you reheat it, it will turn back to a liquid.

The packets of gelatin may also work, but I don't have experience with it.

Try Biotin and Iron supplements. This was recommended to me by a health professional and it really seems to be working. It is also growing my hair back in it original color, dark brown, my hair was completely white until I started taking this. FYI, I had an iron deficiency, that was the reason for taking the iron. You should not take iron unless you are anemic, which only a blood test can tell you.

He shou wu is the Chinese herb touted to help not only grow hair but also bring back its natural color. It helps support the endocrine system and has other benefits also. You can put it into smoothies, brew teas, or just get the capsules.

Try castor oil, very good hair growth has been experience with it; apply to the scalp and tips. There are beautiful utube videos of before and after use of castor oil from many people with different hair types.

Penuel from London, Uk - the problem I have with Castor oil is it's soooo thick and very hard to rub through your hair and onto your scalp! I suppose warming it might loosen the oil a bit so perhaps it's time to try that - I'm actually starting to wonder if my hair is destined to stay shoulder length the rest of my life. No matter what I try, it appears to not move!!!
