I think your advice was fair anyway, as I have been anaemic before,
which is a particular problem for vegetarians. Even though I believe
that a vegetarian diet is much healthier than any other, just like
people on other diets, vegetarians should be careful to get all that
they need in their diet and I'm afraid that due to a busy lifestyle I
have not always done this. I am currently more careful than I have
been but just to err on the side of caution do like to take supplements.

The only reason I mentioned that I was vegetarian was the fact that I
was interested to find out whether there was something (other than
iron, which I am particularly careful about now) which I was lacking
in my diet, since I have had previously had deficiency problems.

I found Pierre's post about silicon particularly useful after reading
from various sources about this on the internet I feel that it might
be a supplement that I should take, and it seems that this is not a
problem peculiar to vegetarians but a product of overprocessed food
(which I do tend to avoid) and pesticide use (which I'm afraid due to
the cost of organic food I cannot afford to avoid!).

I also found on the internet that Flaxseed oil is paricularly useful
for hair growth, I have used this for other reasons previously so I
will certainly be getting some of this as well. I will let everyone
know how it goes, and obviously keep up with the henna which has been
a God-send for my hair which now feels healthier than it has done for
years.

I just can't wait until the summer! Do other people find that their
hair grows better at this time of year? Maybe one day I'll have the
long, flowing locks that other people on this site seem to have
managed to grow!

Can anyone tell me how long it has taken them to grow their hair, and
how long it might take me if i keep up the careful upkeep, from
shoulder length to about half way down the back (the lenghth I am
aiming for?)
