Suggest Remedy To Grow Hair Quickly

Hi, I am an African-American female and I am having trouble on finding products for my hair to get it to grow. My hair is currently a little past my shoulders when I straighten it. I have naturally thick, curly, and silky hair and would like to know which products works best for me to stimulate faster and healthier hair growth, possibly in a short period of time. My ideal length I would like it to be is mid-back length. Lastly is there anything I should consume to help it grow and should I do exercise along with it? I heard lots of exercise and protein like fish, eggs, nuts, vegetables, etc. are good example sources for your hair health. Any suggestions on what I should do to get it to my desired length in maybe at least a year? Please help! I really would love to have long and healthy hair! P.S. (Do I HAVE to take hair vitamins, such as biotin, in order for my hair to grow? I really don t want to. I want to do it naturally with products, diet, and exercise, and such. But if I have to take hair vitamins, I might consider it. And also NO WEAVE! I do not want to wear weave.) Thank you !! :)

You can definitely increase your protein intake as good health translates into good healthy hair. In addition taking biotin 10 mg daily will definitely help in increasing hair density.In addition taking Minoxidil 2 %lotion locally will also help.And lastly a good head of healthy dense hair is preferable to length.
