Sorry Graywitch, but I have to disagree. IMO gray hair stems from a lack of specific nutrients. I know folks in their 50′s and 60′s who have very slight amount of gray hairs and I’ve seen folks in their 30′s with a ton of gray hairs. Obviously something is missing in their diets.

Graying hair is due to genetics, not diet.

Hi Heather! I have to agree with you entirely!!! That’s what I was trying to say in my original message. I believe that hair growth is an individual thing. No matter what your genetics, if it’s meant for you to have long hair AND you do the best things to grow it, then it WILL grow and “very” long if you allow it to. The main problem that I’ve always had is retention. My hair will grow, but then it tends to break off – almost for no reason. I’m sure there’s a reason, but mine may be for dryness. It’s worst in the winter. I’m starting to use a lot of coconut oil or jojoba oil on my ends in the AM and PM. Also I cover my hair before going to bed. I take LOTS of supplements to try and keep it healthy. My hair is now BSL (the longest it’s ever been in my whole life!!!) I do believe that it’s still growing. My hair is funny though….sometimes it really grows so fast I can’t believe my eyes and then sometimes it just doesn’t seem to grow at all. My goal for this year is not to cut it at all (not even for trims) and see what happens. I will be taking care of it and taking my supplments of course. I’ll also be getting an exercise routine (if I can stay with it). My hair seems to grow fastest when I exercise. Good luck on your hair journey.

I was reading your alls comments and i dont know anything about Genetics or eating leafy green anything.I live in the south and eat alot of fried foods and don’t like water much….but I am picky about my shampoo’s and my conditioner’s and always use a comb when my hair is wet and a soft brush when dry and at night I always put my hair in two pig-tails with at least three soft bands on each pig tail to avoid morning knots.I heard stress can make your hair fall out too… but i have 5 kids, 15 to 1 years old and still manage to have hair down to my waist.Maybe genetics does play a role.But if thats the case how come my father was bald and my mother always had to have short hair cause it would never grow and she eat’s reallly healthy and exercises all the time??? The only exercise routine i do is to the Frig.LOL

IMO, I’ve found that (genetics or otherwise) eating lots of protein, taking B-Complex, MSM and Biotin are all great for the health and growth of hair.

Wilco I’ve used Shen Min in the past and was quite unsuccessful. Also I’ve experienced that when taking Asian products, they tend to work extremely slow with a promise of maximum results. I’m too impatient to wait for months and months to see results. Shen Min may work, but get ready to wait unless your body is craving for some (or all) of the ingredients in it.
