How to make my daughter's hair grow faster?

Let's see if there's any suggestions by other Mylotters.

My Little girl is three and 9 months, she hardly has any hair,its very fine, sandy colour. It is very slow at growing,When she was three,I started taking more concern about it,like us mams do,espcially when her hat blew off one day when getting off the bus,and little boy shouted she's lost her hair as well as her hat!
ive tried hair thickening advised by a friend.Alot say it will grow in its own time, and will grow in more thicker.

Shampoo for horses? I don't think I will try that. Don't know what toxic ingredients are in the shampoo! Anyway, will try the aloe extract and virgin coconut oil thingy. Thanks for sharing!

Hey syd, hi there! I've heard about that shampoo. In fact, I've tried it. It's not as scary as it sounds.=) It makes the hair grow faster. It's the Mane n' Tail. I think. It's for human use and can be for animals like horses.=)

The shampoo is called "Mane and Tail" and it doesn't feel any different than shampooing with regular shampoo. My mom used it on me all the time when I was a little girl. It doesn't hurt your hair at all. As a little girl my hair was super long and really thick. I have not used it in years and my hair is thinner now, but still really thick.

Hi, will the shampoo work for black kids, cause am really, really willing to try it

Thank you for your suggestion. I will try get some coconut oil and curry leaves. But I don't think my daughter can chew it yet. She's just 15 months...

If she cant chew it, forget that part. But still you could grind it and apply it on her hair. This will give you the desired result.

Thank your for your suggestion! Will take note about the tofu and plenty of water. My 15-month old daughter doesn't take drugs or take alcohol, so no problem there. We have also never used the blowdryer on her hair. Since her hair is so thin. After a gentle wipe after her shower, it will already be dry. Will do more massage and remember not to comb her hair after bath.

Well that was applicable to all.It seems that we have the same case on daughter's hair.
My daughter is just like your daughter at first. I massage her scalp before taking bath with oil, first i use home made coconut oil but because of its smell i change it to ordinary baby oil. I always comb her hair while dry. By the way my kid is 22 moths old now and her hair is too different where i thought it won't grow so i find it really helpful.

Just an afterthought:

They get the hair they inherit. My daughter got my coloring and hair, and her brother got his father's thick, dark, hair.

Lucky for my daughter, though, her father's genes must have kicked in somewhere; because her hair did get thick later, while mine has remained a giant problem for me for my whole life (but let me make it clear I don't look the least bit bald; the hair looks normal - it's just hard to manage).

On the bright side, there is something to be said for sparse eyebrows.

Thank you for your comforting words! I was just wondering whether I should just let it be and let it grow on its own. People keep asking whether I have a boy! The I will laugh and say that she's a girl. I tell them her hair grows slowly. I guess you're right about the genetics bit because both me and my husband has thin hair when we were babies. I hope my daughter is not doubly hit by our genes!

You have to hope there are some thick-haired folks in the ancestry somewhere, I guess.

There are some good things about skimpy hair, though:

It dries really quickly. You can leave the house with it wet, and it dries before you get wherever you're going.

It tends to have a good shine.

It's cool in Summer.

It doesn't use up a lot of shampoo.

You cut it in three clips of the scissors - one for the side, one for the back, and one for the other side.

If you wear earrings they show up even if you wear your hair over your ears.

It tends to have enough static electricity to make your touch a painful weapon if necessary.

Your combs and brushes stay cleaner longer.

It won't allow you to make a fashion mistakes with hair jewelry because everything you try to decorate it with just falls out anyway.

It's so light you can glue it into the appearance of being thicker with cheap hair spray.

You don't need to worry that you'll ever look just like everybody else because nobody else seems to have the kind of hair you have.

On windy days you get to have a new, unique, hairdo that nobody on God's green Earth has ever seen before.

On humid days your sweat soaks the skimpy hair, which makes slicking it back to a cooler style very easy.

When you get to be middle-aged people tend to still think you're younger because no middle-aged person on God's green Earth has hair like that.

Haha...That was really entertaining...LOL

something really good to use is olive oil i use it in my daughter hair and its growing alot and it keep it from looking dry also. u can buy it in the cooking section its the cooking olive oil.

Thanks for the tip. My mum also told me to do that. I hope it works!

yes it will work i am sure of that.

My daughter is 4 now and she still has little hair. Everyone always tells me it will grow in time but she is getting much older now so I wonder too if maybe it is something medical. As for the 14 month old though I wouldn't worry about that. I know there are a lot of kids whose hair just doesn't start growing until they are older. Plenty even into the 3 year old range. Good luck!
