How to make it grow faster or calm it down?

Is there any possible way to make your hair grow faster?
And also I have really curly hair
are there any products that can help calm it down??

People of the world, your hair will not grow at a faster rate if you have it cut. Hair is made up of dead cells. And hair grows from roots inside your scalpe, not from the ends where some people appear to think. Therefore meaning that your hair never stops growing, unless of corse you malnurish your body of the nutrients required to make it grow eg when you are no longer living.

So dead hair will continue from roots at same rate whether you have it cut or not.

This topic really frustrates me as it is just your mind playin tricks on you.

you can get your hair chemical straighten, or again you can buy many products for controling your unwanted curly hair bed head again has many products for this all you have to do is go to a store and ask them for something to help you control your curly hair or just simply blow dry your hair with a big round brush.

trimming your hair regularly stimulates growth, strang as it seems! this gets rid of split ends, and spilt ends make your hair look less healthy and stunt its growth. a good hair-calming product is 'frizz-ease' (by john freeda I think) if you use this and let your hair dry naturally you can get really nice defined curls, or you can blow dry it straight and it looks really smooth... hope that helps!

massage your scalp.
it feels awsome and it stimulates the skin cells.

The trimming the hair thing really works. -plus some people's hair stops growing at a certan length. I've always had my hair very long and I just chopped it all off a few months ago. It's amazing how fast it grows now! I have to get it cut every 2 weeks to maintain the style I want.

Hair does not stop growing when it reaches a certain length. Your hair falls out at a certain rate, and it grows at a certain rate. When the rates equal each other, your hair stops getting longer.

For example, if it takes 4 years on average for each hair on your head to fall out, your hair will never get longer than 4 years worth of growth. It SEEMS like your hair has stopped growing, but it hasn't, it's just falling out about as fast as it is growing.

To make curly hair less curly, you have to 'unflatten it' with heat and humidity. I'm not a hair stylist, I'm just talking about physics. I suggest going to a real stylist and asking about it. There may be hair products that can do it for you. Also, I've heard electrical stimulation can promote hair growth, but I don't know if it's true or not. Basically they zap your scalp for a few minutes, and it doesn't hurt, it just tingles like shampoo bubbles or something.

I also have curly hair. I chemically straighten it, in a salon. That costs a lot. There are a few home chemical relaxers. For example, Ogilvie Straightener works very well. And if you want your hair to grow faster, NutriSilk Vitamins work very well. Also the electric shock thing, it works well too. I have had it done 4 times, and my hair did grow a lot faster. If you trim hair regularly, it doesn't make it grow faster. It only seems like it because your hair has less breakage. When you have a split end for a long time, it makes its way up the hair shaft, so hair looks thinner, therefore looking shorter.

I wish that I had curly hair. I guess everyone wants what they don't have. I have to have a permanent (for the body)and then have them cut my hair in the style I want that really looks great on me. I cannot get to the length you want because of what I do to my hair. My daughter has long beautiful hair, she shampoos it daily and uses a good conditioner on her hair. She also leaves the conditioner on with a towel wrapped around her hair for a limited time then rinses it out, blows it dry and then uses heated curlers (large ones)and when she takes it down and brushes her hair and her hair lays in soft long curls. She only has the ends trimmed, and will not have it cut. It is really beautiful and she has natural curl. Stay away from chemicals, they will ruin your hair. She takes excellent care of her hair. I had it cut when she was a little girl and she hated it and said never again. I only had it cut because, it was matting up underneath and I would have to almost use a bottle of conditioner to untangle the matting of hair, but after that her hair has become her crowning glory. It isn't thick, but the way she takes care of hir hair, it is truly beautiful.

where do you find nutrisilk vitamins?? I had really long hair and yesterday I had it all cut off....OH HOW I HATE MY HAIR NOW!! I want my long tresses back and im depressed just thinking about how long thats going to take!

NEVER TRIM YOUR HAIR, IT DOESN'T HELP!!!!! However, I recommend this all-that scalp massage every day. You just rub your scalp with your fingertips or nails every night for 5 minutes, then take small sections of hair and pull them hard enough so that you can feel it. I've been doing this a wjile and my hair definately seems to be growing faster. Try it, you've got nothing to loose!

Heyy well I dont know...but I have really messy hair because I dyed it for a lot of times and there are a lot of split ends...my hair is naturally curly but not like the EXTREME curly...and since its curly its very messy to comb and theres knots everywhere and it looks really short because its curly(but its accutly veryy long)...I've read some facts that it will grow longer if you trim the split ends but im afraid if I trim it, its going to be really short because it looks short already. I wanted to go out and make it striaght but my hairs too damaged. Any ideas?? P.S. and is it REALLY true that it'll grow longer if you trim the splt nds?

well I think to make your hair grow longer you should take a fork and scratch it on your head for 5-10 min. a day and also when you brush your hair you should brush it 100 times each way right, left, back, and forth so in total 400 strokes if you want it longer in a day you can always get extensions (but that costs a lot)
also if you dont want to do any damage to your hair but you still want it to calm down I reccommend dove anti poof cream just put a little bit on after you shower
I swear its a miracle worker because I have really poofy hair and I put that stuff on and it works really good but I like it straight so I just straighten it afterward but its not poofy if you just put the dove stuff on and not staighten it like if you dont have time or something just rub that in your hair and BOOM its calm

I think what iloveboyshorts was trying to say was SUNSILK anti poof cream to calm your hair down. I have poofy, sometimes wavy hair that just gets big when it drys and this stuff is truly amazing. I keep trying different products because im like that, but I always come back to this one. (lately my new thing is hair serum, like the john frieda frizz ease, although I havent tried that one yet.) if you want to calm your hair down, try this stuff. its pretty cheap, but dont use too much cause it can load up on your hair and thats BAD (clarifying shampoo, if this happens. so not that bad.)
also, as far as growing faster, I dont think thats possible. just eat good. hair is made up of protien, so eat foods rich in that. (chicken, nuts, protien shakes or bars..)
hope this helps!!

You got two separate issues.

Issue # 1: Hair Growth- To grow your hair faster try: coconut oil its great for the scalp, buy some good vitamins, B complex. Try taking some ginseng it works. Try F.A.S.T shampoo, which is sythenic or Beauty 4 Ashes super gro products with are all natural and work well if you have slow hair growth or thinning hair.

Issue #2: Calming Curly Hair. Try shampooing your hair more often with shampoos that contain citrus. I believe all nature products are better try either Aubrey Organics of GodHead Silky Smooth by Beauty 4 Ashes. I know the Silky Smooth will tame your hair because it keeps my girlfriends new growth flat between perms when it trys to puff up and get really curly.

Trimming your hair every four to six weeks or whatever does not help your hair grow! All it does is take off the split and dead ends. The hair grows from the root in the scalp, cutting it has no effect on how fast it grows! Whoever came up with that notion is an idiot! Trimming your hair will shorten it, true. It will also look healthier because the longer you don't trim up the ends, the more they break and work their way up each strand, does that make sence?

I have to agree with the person who said that trimming it doesn't 'make it grow faster.' That's impossible. If hair grows from the scalp, how does trimming the ends effect it? It desn't. Regular trimming maintains a healthy look b/c you're getting rid of the split ends and preventing breakage. This is what I did to make my haor grow fater and it worked: Take hair vitamins (I took GNC Ultra Nourishair and Biotin) and I only trimmed my hair once every 6 months. My hair needed fewer trims b/c the vitamins were helping it get stronger and have fewer split ends and the less you cut it, the more it grows.

Uhh yes getting it cut does help, first person.
If you have too much damage, it won't grow any more.
And when you're dead, your hair grows, like your nails

I have long(lower mid-back)thick hair that is very curly (1/2 -1/4 inch curls) and have had 19 years to try and figure out what works. first off, trimming you hair does not make it grow faster but it is imperative to growth. if you do not get your hair trimmed then it will become weak and brittle causing the hair to break off and keep any new growth from appearing. I get my hair trimmed about every three months but that is because I am very careful about my hair so it does not get very damaged. I wash my hair every 3 days. this may not seem like a lot but the curlier hair is the less oil it produces so overwashing it causes damage. I never brush my hair or even run my fingers through it unless it is wet and has conditioner in it. be very careful to work out knots and nit pull them out. pulling only creates more split ends. I brush in my conditioner (try mane - n -tale it has horses on the front. absolutely amazing for long hair) and them apply Cholesterol (wal-mart in the black haircare sec,$2)from mid way up my head (avoid the roots) and brush it through.I get out and put enfusium 23 leave in conditioner, brushing it through from root to tip. I then turn my head up-side down and apply a very liberal amount of loreal light headed gel (3 bucks at wal-mart) from root to base and run it through with my fingers. next, scrunch your hair. scrunching is so very important because it will help to train your hair to hold the curl. what ever you do do not pull at the curls. this will mess up the curl and it will be stringy and frizzier. I also do a deep conditioning once every 1-2 months (over conditioning can weaken hair) I always sleep with my hair down. I know that it might be had to get used to but putting it in a bun, braid or pony tail will flatten the curl, making it look nappy (not to mention the hair tie will only damage your hair) I never use hair ties unless im working out. go to wal-mart and buy some small hair clips, you know, the ones with six little prongs on the end, they work great!I hope that this will help you out! just keep it healthy and strong and you'll be fine!

I use olive oil, which works great for me. I also try to wear my ponytails as loose as possible. This will surely prevent hair damage and breakage.
