Being that today I just got a really awful haircut, I was wondering if there was anyway to make human hair grow faster. At the moment there is nothing I can do but wait for nature, after that loose cannon with a barber pole and a chip on his shoulder mutilated my head, but I was wondering if there was any way to speed up the process by any degree.
So how about it? Is there any simple method to promote faster hair growth, maybe some sort of diet or the like? Any tips would be much appreciated.
If I come up empty handed here I'm heading down to Pseudoscience and Parapsychology to see if they can sell me any snake oil, or put some sort of voodoo curse on me, I really am just that desperate.
shave your hair to such a level that it does't look so awful ;)
sorry, know nothing about hair growth formulae

I'll get my Voodoo curses ready for you.
Actually, with the exception of going camping (which seems to always make my hair grow faster, though that could just be the lack of shampoo for days on end) I don't know of any way to change the rate of hair growth. I'm voting for the shaving method. Bic it!

Wear a wig and eat a lot of proteins. Make that Keratin grow faster by singing to it.

I just saw this linked off of google, so if you're looking for snake oil, here 'tis.
It looks like there are a lot of things like this out there (that was a stupid sentance, wasn't it?) but the underlying biology is sound. You can affect the growth rate of hair with hormones, just not by much.

Hair growth rates are directly effected by your health. If your sick or stressed your hair will grow more slowly and in some cases stop. river-wind said it. Take a holiday and relax and your hair will grow a little faster.

Yes!! there is a way to make your hair grow faster, Just simply eat more gelatin, you know glucose, such as jelly, jello ect.... jello is a fun way to increase your nail, and hair growth rates and it taste great and comes in different colors and flavors.
other meathods would be to inprove your blood circulation as vessels in the head and upper body are smaller than the lower body. tighting of the skin or scalp will decrease blood flow to the scalp hairs and decrease hair growth. so keep your scalp moist with a oil, lotion or condtioner that does not dry out before the next application of solution, oil is proably best. VO5 Hot oil treatment would be good.
If you don't like your current hair stlye try the slick oil look three time a week. Don't for get to eat your jello.

After becoming a vegan I started taking multi B vitamin pills, and my hair started growing faster, and it also looked healthier and thicker. Go to some health store and buy a jar of Bvitamin, its worth it. It doesnt take long before you notice a subtle difference, maybe a couple of weeks.
