Wow! Thanks, guys, for all that help so quickly! I have just found
some "hair, skin and nails" supplements with silicon and cytesine in
so will give them a go, and am just about to look at that website...
although whether this will be a good idea when I am meant to be
revising for exams, I just don't know ;)

: I was wondering if anyone here had any tips for growing long, healthy
: hair, apart of course from using top-quality henna to colour and
: condition, which I already do once a month or so.
:
: My hair is shoulder-lenghth, but very fine and weak, and seems to
: break easily. I have tried hundreds of different shampoos and
: conditioners to strenghthen it, but this does not seem to work.
:
: I do blow-dry it occasionally, and tie it back (using soft bands)
: quite a lot, could these be causing problems?
:
: Or should I be getting it cut more often? Whenever I have it cut the
: hairdresser always seems to take more off than it has actually grown
: since the last visit - one of my friends suggested that I actually
: have it cut LESS often, but it seems to get so scraggly and wispy at
: the ends about 3 months after a cut that I just have to go and get it
: sorted out!
:
: Or it might be a problem of vitamin deficiency? When I was younger I
: had very long hair, but maybe ten years of vegetarianism and various
: low fat weight-loss diets have had an effect. I do take supplements,
: but I am not sure which are the right ones to encourage hair growth.
:
: Does anyone have any tips for products or supplements, or things i
: should be adding to my diet (excluding meat) which would be
: complimentary to henna, and would help to strenghthen my hair and help
: it grow?
:
: It has already come on a long way since I have been using Henna (about
: 6 months) - I would never have previously have imagined my hair
: growing even beyond shoulder lenghth! But what I really want is the
: long, thick healthy and curly hair that I had when I was a teenager.
:
: Any tips would be greatly appreciated, especially from people with
: fine and fragile hair who have managed to grow it very long. Also,
: just to be clear, I do not have a hair-loss problem at all, my hair
: near the roots is very healthy, it is just at the ends when it gets to
: about shoulder lenghth that breakage seems to prevent it from getting
: any further.
:
: Happy New Year, and Thank you in advance for any help, and I love your
: website!
