I have seriously thinning hair. I tried Rogaine for 4 months but gave up last November - I figured my follicles were dead and there was no hope.

About 8 weeks ago I started using Carekate's hair serum once/week. It's like an aromatherapy treatment but you do need to massage the oil in for at least 15 minutes, then let it sit for several hours, then shampoo. A great treat but obviously can't be done daily.

3 weeks ago I also started mixing sea kelp bioferment with Loma Pearatin Repairative Serum as a leave-on in the morning.

The benefits were immediately noticeable because I have very long, chemically damaged and super-fine hair. Sea kelp bioferment THICKENED my hair, made it soft with no frizzies AND took away all traces of oiliness - to the point that I only need to wash my hair once a week. (I do use Carekate's dry shampoo if my bangs seem limp)

I also comb out my hair every morning and noticed far LESS shed, including during the weekly wash.

And last week I added the SkinActives kit, KGF Hair Serum with ELS. I also added the last drops of Carekate's hair serum to this. Most people use it once or twice a week because they don't like the 'dirty hair' feel it can give. I guess because my hair is long - I didn't notice a problem and use it twice a DAY!

So yesterday, I asked my hair stylist to touch my hair. He wasn't impressed because I'm the Queen of volumizing products.

But, when he washed my hair my stylist was completely speechless. Even when clean and wet - my hair felt considerably thicker and fuller.

My hair stylist was impressed to the point that he wants to order and try it on other clients. I'm so happy ... I can't believe how great my hair is finally becoming!

So, here's my routine:

if you guys happen to know any hair product that can help to grow hair faster, let me know. TIA

The average person’s hair grows about 1/4-inch per month (it varies from person to person – my hair grows 1-inch per month – but that is the average) and it’s sort of genetically “set” in your body’s DNA and you can’t DRASTICALLY alter how quickly your hair grows. Note I said “drastically.” You can take a nutritional supplement containing Biotin and MSM (look for a “Hair, Skin and Nails” formula in the vitamin aisle) and that will help ensure your body has enough of the right nutrients to keep your hair’s growth rate on schedule so that it can “be all it can be,” but you’re not going to be able to suddenly change your hair from growing 1/4-inch per month to all of the sudden growing 1.5-inches per month because it’s just not possible and if anyone or anything is promising you differently, they’re either lying or seriously misinformed.

Something else that most people don’t know if that in addition to your hair being predisposed to only grow at a certain rate per month, but hair is also predisposed to grow only a certain length and never get any longer! For example, there are women out there – like 70s country singer Crystal Gayle – who are able to grow their hair to ankle-length, while there are others out there (like me!) that aren’t able to grow their hair past shoulder-length no matter how hard they try and how many years they’ve tried. It just won’t go past that length! It’s genetics and there’s nothing you can do to change it – other than go to the salon for hair extensions...but then you run the risk of getting a bald spot (Posh Beckham, Keira Knightley) where the extensions were attached at the hairline because of the added stress/weight of the fake hair so then you’ve got to go back for more extensions to cover it and then another bald spot appears and then...you get the idea!

The bottom line is your hair’s “destiny” was already set when you were in the womb and there’s nothing you can do to drastically change it.
