Q) Are there any foods or medicines that you can take to make your nails and hair grow longer and still be healthy?
I am very curious about this!
Professional Hair Care Answer - The best thing I know that can help your hair (and nails) grow longer faster, are vitamin supplements. Vitamins that help your hair and nails grow are vitamin A, (beta carotene), Vitamin B, and vitamin E.
There are many vitamin supplements like Hair Vitamins, that are especially formulated for hair and nail growth. Check them out in your local store. You can also use gelatin products like Knox Nail Gelatine. This product has a long standing history of helping nails grow. I also like to take super Biotin, which is B Vitamin. Use products like Biotin 5000 Mcg Super Potency Capsules, By Natures Bounty - 60 Each.
You can also eat healthy foods and try to get most of your vitamins from your various food sources, however with the amount of preservatives in our foods, thats getting harder and harder to do. I suggest that everyone take extra vitamins to stay healthy! You can also find out more about the particular vitamins you need for your hair.
I wear my hair up on my head in a ponytail every night. I truly think it pulls the face UP and also helps with hair growth....
Your hair follicles on the top of your head grow UPwards towards the sky. Pulling your hair UP at night helps your hair grow out in the correct direction. It doesn't have to be a tight ponytail though. That way the hair has a chance to grow WITH the nature, not against it~
