What is the best shampoo to use to make your hair grow longer?

No matter what kind of shampoo I try my hair never grows! Can someone please help me?What is the best shampoo to use to make your hair grow longer?
The simple answer is that shampoo has nothing to do with IMPROVING hair growth, however the overuse of shampoo can damage your hair by removing the oils that make it supple.





When I say oils, I am not talking about leaving your hair oily - I am talking about the oils that are naturally in your hair strands that allow your hair to remain supple. Once those are stripped by shampoo overuse they don't tend to return to the hair strand. Without that natural oil, your hair can become quite fragile, and can break off at the ends with even simple brushing making it appear as if your hair is not growing.





If you want long hair, be prepared to take good care of your body. Eat well, sleep well, stay free of disease, and avoid the sun, or perming, coloring, blow-drying your hair, or dragging a brush through knots. Use a good quality conditioner every time you shampoo, and shampoo less frequently.








The much longer answer:





There would be two reasons why your hair doesn't appear to be growing (besides having it cut!)





1. Your hair is being snapped off at the ends when you are brushing it. (dry or brittle hair, or pulling through knots)





2. Your hair is already quite long, and your hair follicles simply die and the hair strand drops out - which is a natural process, and can only be altered by becoming younger or augmenting your hormone production (menopause can affect hair growth).





You can't do much about the second reason, so I will focus on the first.





Hair is a protein. Overuse of shampoo, bleaches, perms, coloring, hairdryers, sun exposure, etc damage hair protein. Hair protein breaks down due to this damage, and the hair becomes brittle, so when you brush this brittle hair the tips of the hair literally shatter like glass, and fall away.





Your diet is also a factor. Illness is too. If your hair is quite long, and you got over a serious illness even some years ago, or you went through a period of not treating yourself well, the hair your body made at that time is still on your head, and is fragile. When it breaks off it can appear as if your hair is not growing.What is the best shampoo to use to make your hair grow longer?
the act of shampooing can help stimulate hair growth by massaging the scalp with your finger tips, making blood and nutrients move to the hair follicles
I agree Main and Tail is very good...but also you can take prenatal vitamins..
