PRE-NATAL (spelling?) vitamins!!!!!!!!! Ask your doc first though. I take them and within a week, my nails were growing faster and thicker and my hair was shiny and looked healthier. It was too early to see it grow. But after a couple weeks, my hair did grow faster. You can buy them in the vitamin section.

i don’t use mane ‘n’ tail but i do recommend brushing your hair at least! i never did this either (i actually got a hair brush as a gift in college from a friend who was evil and hilarious), but the occasional brushing made a huge difference — redistribute oil, stimulate scalp and brushed out old, dry hair.

Actually, not brushing your hair could be one of the reasons it’s falling out. I have curly hair, so I rarely brush it and a lot falls out. I asked my hairdresser and she said that could be the reason

my friend has the same issue w/ her hair & nail. her doctor suggest taking “TUMS” and eating more almonds (anything w/ high fiber).

I’ve been growing out my hair for the past year, and I have only gotten in trimmed once. I know that’s not very healthy, but most people’s hair grows 1/2 inch per month, and trims seem like they are about a 1/4 inch, so you might be able to double your hair growth if you can stand to not trim it.

I’ve been growing my hair out for two years now (since a horrible hair modeling gig gone awry) and everyone has told me to use it now that my hair is a bit longer. Some of my friends swear by it, but they already have gorgeous long flowing thick hair to start!

I agree with others that the shampoo can’t hurt, but DEFINITELY try vitamins. Pre-natal, or I also noticed a difference when I was taking the GNC brand of “Hair, Skin & Nails”. Good luck!

Interesting find! I want to try it now! Thank you for emailing me a list of the products your makeup artist used on you Let us know how the shampoo works out!

hm… thanks for the info… i don’t really brush my hair too often (hopefully that doesn’t sound gross) but it does make since that it redistribute oil, stimulate scalp and brushed out old, dry hair.

I started shedding about 2 months ago— so much hair loss, for no reason! Everyone told me it was stress… even the doctors. I told them the only thing stressing me was my damn hair falling out. With my wedding in October, I was ready to try anything. I was turned on to Nioxin- http://www.nioxin.com You can only buy it at salons. I usedit for about 2 weeks while wearing my hair up to stop it from falling out too much. When I started wearing it down again, people kept telling me how long and thick my hair looked. It did dry my hair a bit, and I used an additional conditioner to keep it healthy looking, but I’d swear by it. It also comes with a vitamin supplament with nutrients for healthy hair and nails.
Good Luch!

I used to use it on a horse and it worked for him:) I’ve alse heard that pre-natal vitamins work great.

I’m a cosmetology student and they have taught us that were supposed to lose on average 150 hairs a day. I have curly hair and it seems like I lose a lot more but thats because of my hair texture. I’ve tried Mane and Tail but it just left my hair in horrible condition. If you really want to grow your hair out Pre-Natal Vitamins really do work for hair and nails. Also keep your hair healthy because if you don’t keep it healthy it wont look good when you get it long. Sun damages hair like bleach does so keep your hair protected when you go outside and Redken hair products are amazing. (they don’t smell the best but their one of the few companys that really know what they are doing)

Hi Barbara! Just going through older posts and saw this. I totally use this! How funny. I started it about 8 months ago and STILL have it because it is so humongous (granted, I did switch in a couple of different shampoos ’cause this one was taking so long)… I started using it because, like you, someone told me it would make my hair grow faster. The verdict? Eh… I don’t know if it really helps or not. My hair is just slow growing I think. But the smell’s not bad at all and at this rate I probably won’t have to buy shampoo for another few months so it’s a definite money saver. Haha.

Im the 5th hairstylist in my family…

and one thing i will never repeat in the salon is this: take ANY conditioner (although I sweat by RedKen heavy cream with avocado oils..it’s amazing!!) that seems like it has a thicker more nuritioning consistancy to it, run it through your hair in the shower scalp to ends, but really focus on stimulating your scalp…DO NOT rinse. When you get out of the shower, put your hair up in a shower cap, use a blowdryer and put it to the shower cap (to stimulate heat and moisture from the conditioner..usually only takes about 30-45 seconds). Let your hair sit in the shower cap for as long as you can stand then rinsing out and styling as normal.

You’re hair will never be so soft or shinny! And the greatest thing about it, you just gave yourself a deep conditioning treatment!!

NOT cutting your hair will only cause your hair to grow with shattered ends…aka unhealthy looking hair. TRIM every 4-6 weeks…even if you tell your hair stylist to just “NIP” the ends…it’s vital to growing STRONG HEALTHY hair… After all, what’s pretty about long stragly looking ends? Your hair will grow faster because the ends will be blunt and strong, not splitting and shattering up the strand of hair.

SO, condition, take daily vitamins and trim your hair every 4-6 weeks…your hair will be gorgeous!

I actually just bought mane and tail….I cant really tell you if it helps with hair growth but it’s doing wonders to my hair…..so soft and even if it doesn’t speed it up the hair growth I think it helps in different ways,no slipt ends, stronger hair, ect, ect…… I do know that vitimans and sleep is essential for hair growth

I use it..have for years..my kids use it and my husband uses it. We have an Equine Rescue and use only Mane ‘n Tail on all the horses! It will make your hair healthy, softer and shiney too.
Mane ‘n Tail found that people loved the product and were using it on themselves (humans!) so they began making Mane ‘n Tail for people. It’s a good product, but we still prefer the original made for horses. Wouldn’t use anything else…..EVER!

Prenatal Vitamins?? Yep..that works to help grow longer hair. Been there, done that too!

Good luck and Best Wishes!

A Dominican lady w/xtremely long, gorgeous hair recommended Mane n’Tail products. I’v been usin it 4 3 yrs & luv it! I noticed a difference n my hair w/in 1-2 mos of using it my hair is so much longer. I don’t no about Afro-Carribean hair but my hair is very cury. My ancestry is African- Native American. I didn’t care 4 the deep moisturizing shampoo either. I prefer “The Original” shampoo & I alternate btw the “Deep Moisturizing” & “The Original” conditioner. I use them both as leav in conditioners. Initially, I used the herbal hair grow every day & it had the similar effect of a gel. A pinch of it wld flatten/tame my hair. I don’t use it as much now because I prefer the fluffy look. I recently tried the Replenishing conditioner..also as a leave in. It feels surprising thin, when I put it n my wet hair but my hair drys so soft! I don’t use it very often ’cause it doesn’t giv me the full fluffy look that I crav.

1 last thing U shld no is that I let my hair dry naturally. I hope this helps:)
