The Hair of the Matter

I have been growing my hair out for the last 8 years or so.  It started out very short in almost a boy cut.  My goal has been to grow it to my waist, while at the same time not suffering from the dreaded “in between hair”.  All girls absolutely hate this phase of hair growth and I was determined not to have to deal with it.  So, to that end it has take me longer to grow my hair out.  I noticed about a year or so ago that my hair hadn’t really grown much in the last couple of years.  I saw some pictures of the back on my hair that someone took randomly at a church picnic and it suddenly hit me that my hair was exactly the same length a year later.  Now, keep in mind, I only get my hair cut and colored about every 3-4 months, so I really should have had more hair growth than that.  My AWESOME hair stylist that I have been going to for over 14 years, is always very careful not to do more than “tip” my ends.

So, I started looking for supplements and for the last about 50 + days I have been taking something called Maxi-Hair by Country Life, along with 2,500 mg of biotin twice daily.  I take them in the morning and the evening.  The Maxi-Hair is a time release pill. 

After 50 days I can honestly say that my hair has grown about two inches!  My hair is very layered, but the very ends are now only about 4-5 inches from my waist.  So, these supplements are definitely working.  I get mine at the health food store down the street from me, but you can get them online as well. 

One of these days I will actually take a picture of my hair so you can see.
