Does anything work? Growing out short hair and I need to transition through the awful stage with a bit more speed.

I take MSM and L-lysine, and have really noticed a difference in the speed of my hair growth. Also, my hair is super shiny and I never have to use conditioner! I get MSM from the Healthspan website, and L-lysine from Holland and Barrett.

I'm trying to grow out a fallen out perm so will try these!

no, nothing works. Otherwise we would all have super long hair at a whim.

hair growth rate is controlled by your follicles, as is the length it will grow to before it falls out. This can change over your lifetime. Eating badly can cause hair loss.

eat proper food rather than give H and B even more of a laugh.

But special by your reasoning, if eating badly can cause hair loss, then taking supplements could help with hair growth, no?

specialsubject · 10/11/2015 09:47

no. Think about it.

If you eat crap you could slow things down from the natural rate of growth, which is determined by your follicular life cycle. If you eat properly you'll get the natural rate. If you chug down loads of supplements you'll get expensive urine and a possible overdose, not longer hair.
