People often say it's largely down to genetics but is there anything to enhance hair growth?

I've heard of rosemary oil, regular trims and heat protectant.

Any suggestions?

Does anyone know if you can actually grow your hair more or faster? If so please tell me any advice you have, my hair is medium length but I wish it was long again.

Also if it matters, I have 2A wavy hair and use NYM shampoo and conditioner along with their curl talk mousse and hard hold gel.

Edit: I also dye my hair using semi-permanent dye, the current brand in my hair is Good Dye Young

I can’t get hair care right…so went back to silicones and sulphates but need non strengthening products that have least amount of water soluble or evaporating silicones only…surely in this day there is such products

The topic is tangentially related, so please let me know if it’s not a good fit here.

So I’m coming to a realization that I’ll need to undo the progress of probably past 5 months due to breakage. I’m yet unsure if I really need to cut that much in one go or just chop a couple of centimeters every six week. Growing these was not easy emotionally either - I would check if I have a progress every other day (I count the number of knots in braid to track it more or less accurately), and now I have to go like half of the year back. I wonder how other people cope with having the desired result WAY ahead?

I’m honestly going crazy and I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m a guy in my early 30s and I’ve always had good hair. It’s starting to gray now, but that’s genetic in my family, so I really don’t mind that part.

The real problem is that over the last couple of years my hair has become completely unpredictable. As you can see in the pictures, it’s naturally very thick, but the results are totally random. Sometimes it looks extremely thick, healthy, and full, while other times it becomes frizzy, dry, messy, and almost looks like I’m balding for no reason.

I’ve tried countless shampoos and routines, but nothing gives consistent results. Sometimes I’ll use the exact same shampoo and routine for weeks, yet my hair still behaves differently every single day. There are even days where I only rinse it with water and it looks perfect, while other times I do a full haircare routine and it ends up looking terrible and frizzy.

At the moment I randomly rotate between these hydration products and use them randomly, sometimes right after washing, sometimes days after.

1. Syoss Intense Plex Leave-In Serum (100ml)
2. Gliss Full Hair Wonder Lengths Filler (100ml)
3. alverde NATURKOSMETIK Leave-In Hairmilch (200ml)

For shampoo, lately I’ve mostly been using L’Oréal Elvital Hyaluron Plump because it seems to give the most consistent results so far.

I’ve also experimented with at least a dozen different shampoos overall, and every single one gives different results depending on the day.

Sometimes I let my hair air dry, other times I use a brush and hairdryer, but again, the outcome is always different.

At this point I genuinely don’t know what’s causing it anymore. Any help, advice, or similar experiences would honestly mean a lot. Any suggestion, anything, I beg you

I’m 19f and I have thin hair that reaches the top of my shoulders, but I’m trying to grow it out. I have oily roots and dry ends.

I’m currently using Cerave oil control shampoo and Doves hydrating conditioner (I wash my hair every other day) and I’m using jojoba oil on my ends daily. I want to trim my ends every other month but my split ends get bad really quickly?? Any tips?? Thank you 🙏

My 10 y/o daughter is going through radiation and chemo. We are extremely concerned about her hair growing back specifically after radiation. Some children’s hair does not grow back as well on the sides and back, due to where they do a higher dosage boost for where her brain tumor was. Some kids hair grows back, some don’t. She has thin (but healthy) hair to begin with and I can’t stop thinking about this.

We are looking at the irestore elite. I also would consider a handheld option to target the specific spots for her hair loss. Here is my question about the irestore:

Will it sufficiently hit the sides and backs?
Is it okay to use for a child size head? Her circumference is about 20”. (Around the hair line)

Anything else you recommend? We will also use rosemary oil when we are able to put things on her scalp.

Radiation damages hair folicles. I don’t know if they can be “saved”. But maybe if they are struggling, therapy can rescue them? This is such a hard thing to go through, among all the other things, for a happy 10 year old whose life has been turned upside down.

I have 2a wavy, medium length hair and recently bought Mielle’s rosemary growth oil, is this a good product for fast growth?
