Any brides growing out their hair?

Ok, this may seem like a very basic question, but I need some tips! So, my hair is right above my shoulders, I've always had it cut into a bob. But I want it to grow as long as possible before my wedding in June of 2017. What do you use or have you used to help grow some serious length? I just...

    @beautyofdreams - the BIGGEST difference I'm seeing with Hairfinity is my hair is not shedding as much as it used to. It has biotin in it along with a bunch of other vitamins too so they say don't take it with another vitamin because that's what usually can cause the acne (too much Vitamin A).

    I am witnessing some new growth in an area of my scalp that's thinning but I'm not sure if it's the vitamins or the oil I'm using. I also use Argan oil on my hair (not scalp). My hair looks super healthy now.

    I'm taking vitamins, vitamin D, biotin, and drinking lots of water. I wear protective styles, and only use natural hair products. Organic coconut oil, Carol's daughter, mixed chicks, and Shea moisture.

    @Kphmitten I had problems with vitamin usage and acne, but then I took cellular and molecular biology and learned that most pills are water soluble, meaning you need water to break it down, if you don't have enough water it will take from other sources, like our (skin), and that is what causes the acne and foul smelling urine.

    I'm in the same boat as you, lol. My hair will not grow any longer, and sometimes it seems to actually get shorter. I have bad split ends and it keeps breaking off, because I blow dry and straighten it every time I wash it. A month ago, I finally just decided to stop, and air dry it completely all the time, and only heat style it once in a while. My hair is so frizzy and thick that it's hard to. I'm hoping not styling it will let it grow as it should, and by May next year, it could be 6 inches longer. I Biotin and Folic Acid. I do coconut oil treatments on it and when I lighten it, I use it over coconut oil to prevent complete damage.

    I take biotin but I don't really notice a difference except in my nails. I have a few friends that swear by taking prenatal vitamins but they also told me it makes your hair everywhere grow faster so just a heads up haha

    My hair grows fast already but I'm taking prenatals and let my hairdresser know what I want to do in advance so we can keep my hair growing out without it looking bad. I finally got past that weird stage.

    @Ashleigh I've quit hairties for the most part and try to bun mine using the huge clips when I want/need it up. That's made a huge difference!

    Your hair is super cute! I understand wanting to grow it out though. I'm trying to keep heat off of it. So basically I look like a hobo during the work week (I have thick Mexican waves so I've been putting my hair in ponytails or buns).

    I've been trying hair masks and drinking milk has always made my hair grow. So I'm drinking milk like a crazy person.

    You have some time, which is good. Your hairstylist should be cutting your hair to kind of "mold" your hair to grow out a certain way too. Try not to skip trims, you might have to cut off more dead ends in the long run.

    Good luck!
