I take 22mg of Silica which I bought at GNC. Silica is supposed to make hair stronger and shinier. I also currently take 4000mcg of biotin. To experience faster hair growth, it is recommended that you take between 3mg and 5mg per day (which is 3000mcg to 5000mcg). Another vitamin for healthy hair is MSM (which is usually used for joint pain). MSM decreases shedding, lengthening the amount of time the hair remains on your head, therefore enabling you to grow your hair longer. To keep hair nourished, you can take a supplement containing the essential fatty acids (omega 3, 6, and 9).

Keep in mind it takes most people 2 to 6 weeks to notice results using vitamins, depending on how nutrient deficient you are and whether or not you have been sick. You will notice new growth in your nails and leg hairs before you notice new growth on your head.

Always remember, though, that for hair growth it is important for you to have a healthy diet. Your hair can only be healthy and grow long faster if the rest of you is healthy because your body will distribute the nutrients to the parts of your body that need them the most. This means that your hair is the last thing to receive the nutrients. Consume high amounts of protein, especially protein from plants (like soy) because plant protein is easier for our bodies to use. Remember that hair is, after all, protein.

Also consider buying some olive oil/jojoba oil and rosemary essential oil. Use about 1/4 cup olive or jojoba oil and mix it with a few drops of rosemary essential oil. Then heat it up in the microwave and apply it to your scalp and give yourself a scalp massage. The rosemary is an essential oil which increases circulation. Do this every time before you have a shower to stimulate the hair folicles and encourage new growth.

Hope this helps
