Q. Does Mane'n Tail Shampoo and/or Conditioner make hair grow or grow faster?
This is our number one asked question! We have had many people contact us with reports of hair growth and faster growing hair.
Our answer is that when hair is naturally strong it does not break or create split ends, which hinders most people from achieving their goal of longer, stronger, healthier more fuller looking hair.
Mane'n Tail products were originally developed for horses. Horses' hair is three times thicker than people hair. People started using the products to achieve the beautiful results they saw with their own horses' manes and tails. This is where the legend of Mane'n Tail products comes from, by nourishing, conditioning and fortifying the hair and scalp to aid healthier hair growth. Mane'n Tail shampoo and conditioner maintains and helps to achieve longer, stronger, healthier more fuller looking hair. The results can be seen and felt after the first application.
Q. Are Mane'n Tail products safe for use on people?
Yes. Our legendary formulas have been around for over 30 years. Both horses and people have used them with proven results. Straight Arrow as a company manufactures and distributes its formulas, which contain only the finest approved ingredients. They are quite safe and very much preferred by people.
Q. Does Straight Arrow test on animals?
No! Straight Arrow does not test on animals. Our formulas consist of safe, natural ingredients that existing data and knowledge from within our industry supports.
Q. Is it safe to use Mane'n Tail shampoo and conditioner on permed, relaxed or color treated hair?
Yes. Mane'n Tail shampoo and conditioner is safe on permed, relaxed or color treated hair. Our shampoo cleanses hair thoroughly, yet will not strip natural oils. Our conditioner has an exclusive protein-based formula with amino acids to add natural oils to your hair. Also, (Check out our New Deep Moisturizing formulas exclusively developed for people with dry over-processed hair.)
Q. Can I use Mane'n Tail shampoo and conditioner on my dog or cat?
Yes, these products are safe to use on cats and dogs. In fact, many breeders tell us that they use our shampoo and conditioner exclusively on their show animals with wonderful results.

That's interesting krazi. I've heard of products like that before too. I rub baby oil in my hair and it grows really fast. It was down to the middle of my back, but I cut it. It grew back again very quickly.

Like Krazis post said there isn't anything that can physically make your hair grow faster. Best thing to do is to protect what you've got and keep it healthy to prevent breakage :)

You're hair will grow faster if you get trims regularly and don't use a flat iron or hair dryer too much.

Just like cutting the lawn or trimming the shrubs, when you trim your hair it will experience a growth spurt right after.

That makes no sense...
Cutting essentially dead hair doesn't make it grow, it just removes any split ends and prevent hair breaking further.
Edit- because I agree with not using a flat iron or dryer...

Your hair stays healthier when you trim it often.

I don't agree with the statements that hair will "grow faster" if trimmed. It may have the appearance of growing faster because of being all one length.
The flaw with this analogy is that hair is dead while grass and shrubs are alive.
Rate and length of hair growth is genetic. There are genes that determine how long hairs will grow- for example eyebrow and eyelash hairs grow to a certain point then fall out. So the hairs on top of your head have a predetermined length as well. Some people's hair is just destined to be medium, long, or short.
There are no magic potions and creams that make hair grow long.

Had to spread the rep NM but yep. It's all genetics. My friends hair grows really slowly while I need a hair cut once a month.
It all depends on the person.

Make sure you're taking a multivitamin daily, baby your hair using deep conditioner at least once a week and laying off the heat styling, get your hair trimmed when you start to notice split ends. Wearing it in a ponytail often can cause hair breakage. Hair grows at an average of 1/2 inch per month, some a little more and some less.

Get some hair vitamins with msm in it, msm lengthens the natural hair growth phase allowing greater lengths to be achieved. Biotin, another key ingredient, promotes cell growth, the production of fatty acids, metabolism of fats, and amino acids. These two ingredients in addition to the others (Folic Acid, Niacin, Silica, etc) are all essential for for maximizing hair growth.

You'll have to be patient with your naural hair, but if you desperately want long hair try clip in extensions?

I completely agree... When I started taking vitamins regularly, my hair grew faster and looks a lot shinier and healthier (it's halfway down my back). Nutrition is very important for great looking hair and skin.
Also, when I'm home, I always keep my hair in two braids and only put the ties at the ends. I don't like pony tails because it pulls the hair and causes breakage. If my hair ties cause any damage to my hair, it's at the ends and I get those trimmed every two months. On the weekends, I smooth on some leave in conditioner then braid my hair for super conditioning.
I like this one... http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P244511&categoryId=B70
And I like Garnier. It's much cheaper too. http://www.google.com/products?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=s&hl=en&source=hp&q=garnier+leave+in+conditioner&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=Gv-NS931FYzMsgO2uonKCA&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=image&resnum=4&ved=0CB4QzAMwAw

I completely forgot to share this with you guys. I was using a product every day on my hair that I love and I believe has helped my hair immensely. It's called Biosilk Silk Therapy by Farouk. It's a kind of serum. I use it on towel dried hair and pour a very small amount into my hands, rub together and distribute onto my ends. Whatever is left over, I run onto to rest of my hair but NOT the roots. You end up with a greasy look if you do.
The friend who recommended it to me always had hair that grew to her shoulders only and couldn't get it longer because of the split ends and dryness on the ends. She'd have lots of breakage. This product greatly reduces the occurrence of split ends so now her hair is almost to the middle of her chest.
For me, it tames the flyaway hairs stops split ends and gives softness and shine. I wasn't crazy about the price since I got it from a salon. Oh, and I personally do not care for their shampoo or conditioner. They made my hair look dirty.
BioSilk - BioSilk Shampoo - BioSilk Conditioner (http://www.salonsavings.com/biosilk/?gclid=COnwqfvJraACFRsVawodSQxVZQ)
I found a product that I like even better. It's called Nourishing Coconut Milk anti-breakage serum by Organix. It leaves your hair softer than Biosilk, tames flyaways and keeps the ends from getting dry and breaking. You can get it at drugstores and it's cheap! My drugstore offered it buy-one-get-one-free. I personally think it's far superior to Biosilk.
Organix ® - Beauty. Pure & Simple (http://www.beautypureandsimple.com/coconutmilk.asp)
So anyway, serum helped my friend grow her hair long, fast. She colors her hair too. For me, it keeps my hair looking great, long and super soft.

Ooh I heard of Biosilk before! My sister had it and I tried the conditioner. It makes your hair pretty soft. I didn't like the smell too much though.

You might like the second one I mention. It smells like coconut. For me, this one works better on dry hair whereas Biosilk works better on damp hair.

I like the sound of the coconut one. I usually use leave-in conditioner on dry hair too.

Baby oil just a drop used a serum also helps mine grow faster too, as it protects and prevents split. Trimming hair does not stimulate growth, it just makes it shorter; hair grows from the head and it has no idea the ends have been cut as once it leaves the follicle it is dead! Our hair is not a plant or a shrub but a fibre which growth is genetically determined, you can not speed growth up but by protecting the growth, you will prevent damage and breakage by the way I have hip length hair!
