Can a root stimulator help my fine short hair grow?

I use to use olive oil root stimulator and it seem to be working because my hair was growing, it wasn't too greasy, it was light, and it made my hair very soft. I haven't used it for about a year and I'm wondering if I should go back to using it or try another kind of root stimulator, but I need something light and not too greasy. I have fine short african american hair that I heat treat to get straight.Can a root stimulator help my fine short hair grow?
No sweety. There's no such thing as a hair product that will make your hair grow faster... They only promote regular hair growth.





There is nothing that you can do to make your hair grow faster, but there are a number of things that may actually slow the process such as; a poor hair care regimen, poor diet, illness, medication, male and female pattern hair loss, and emotional stress.





Some of these things don't actually affect the growth rate per se, but they affect the hairs' health and unhealthy hair will probably not grow to its fullest potential. Besides regular shampooing and conditioning with good quality products, the only other thing that you can really do is take an inexpensive daily multi vitamin such as Centrum or even Flintstones. Don't waste your money on super vitamins. Zinc and Biotin in particular seem to be good for hair and are both found in the above recommendations. Unless you are pregnant or very ill with cancer or the like, your body only requires so many vitamins per day and simply flushes out the excess. In other words, you can't put twenty gallons in a ten gallon tank.





I frequently hear of people taking pre natal pills to make their hair grow faster, even men. The reason that an expecting mother's hair may grow slower or faster has to do with hormonal activity and not the pills. So please, stop doing that or thinking about it, it just doesn't work.





Just take it easy, give your hair and body what it needs...





Stress has a very particular side-effect that is ';Hair Loss'; and you don't want that right (since you are stressing much about having hair growth)





1. Eat lots of fruits with dark colors on it. (i.e. Cherries, Blackberries, Cranberries, Strawberries, etc.) The darker the fruit, the more anti-oxidants which play a big role in overall physical health.





2. Comb your hair at least twice a day. (Don't yank on it or pull it) make sure you are evenly distributing the natural oil from your scalp all the way to the ends. This helps keep the strand healthy and promote the constant growth rate.





3. Make sure you take your vitamins. Mama said it for a reason. These are essential for hair/nail growth. If you go to GNC or stores like that, they have a specific ';Hair, Skin and Nails'; formula that works really good giving your body the esential nutrients it needs to promote regular hair growth.
