Growing more Hair - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Does anyone know how I can grow more hair? I want fuller and thicker hair covering my scalp and crown. Is there certain shampoo I can use or some or food/vitamins I can eat? I want some hair coming down towards my forhead too so I can have some bangs. Right now, all I have is thin and flat hair and I would do anything to have more hair growing. Please help!

Genetically you're predisposed to have how much/how thick of hair you have and there isn't any type of food,vitamin,or herb you can take to change that.You could try talking to a hair dresser about getting perminate wavy hair.My hair is very thin and not a lot of it but it looks thicker to everyone else because of how wavy it is.I guess it gives it volume instead of looking flat.

I'm sorry, not to sound rude, but how can you tell someone that there is absolutely nothing they can do to improve their thin hair condition? Maybe you don't personally know of any but that certainly does not mean there isn't! Unfotunatley I'm not here to give any answers, though I am looking, but I have a hard time when people tell others there is absolutely nothing they can do. Tifa, I'm in the same boat as you are sweetie, and if I find or hear of anything that really helps with this particualar subject I will let you know.

Well if anyone knows the miracle to growing fuller,thicker hair i would love to know as well,but from what i stated that is what i have i been told,food,vitamins,and herbs can't change genetics.I offered the only advice i know of to help,getting a wave to add volume.I'm sure there are shampoos out there that makes hair appear thicker.

Actually, what you eat does make a difference. Hair is protein - so make sure you are eating plenty. It makes a big difference for me. Also, many women taking prenatal vitamins (when they are pg) notice their hair growing faster. Mine does. I also take fish oil supplements - for other reasons, but they may be helpful for hair growth too. Now if your thin hair is because of genetic reasons, these may not be miracle cures but it certainly won't hurt to try. Yesterday I was watching QVC and Nick Chavez was on with a product called Plump n Thick (or something like that). It made thin hair appear thicker and fuller, even on a man who had receding hairline/balding spots. I haven't tried it, but it sure looked like it works. I believe it was $28 for a 2 step system. Good Luck!
