My hair was so damaged that I had to cut it to my shoulders. I had bleached it and it was down to my butt, not it's at my shoulders. I need some homemade remedies/masks to help strengthen, grow, and make my hair healthy again!

Don't wash your hair everyday! Every other day Is good. Also, when you shampoo your hair just get the roots because if you massage it all over it'll dry out your ends :) Andreaschoice on YouTube also just uploaded a video for hair treatment check it out!

You cannot make your hair grow faster. Nor are there any products to make your hair grow faster. So don't fall into any pills or product claiming to make faster hair growth.
You want to do is STIMULATE hair growth and encourage the strength and health of your hair.
Genetics play a major role here, your hair is meant to grow up to a certain length before falling off ( like how some people have shorter lashes than others)... So if super long hair doesn't run in the family, don't get so bummed out if your hair stays at a certain length.
To help you out here.. Two common answers on BL have been to use Mane n' Tail and Biotin. You should avoid these, however...
Mane n' tail shampoo/conditioner is not PH balanced for human hair or scalp, over time it begins to dry out your hair and make it brittle ( Scientifically, and speaking from personal experience with this one. )
The reason people claim Mane n' tail makes your hair grow is because of the heavy amount of wax in it. The wax present in Mane N' tail simply weighs down your hair and this wax can actually cause flakes. The wax in Mane n' tail is the reason for dullness, and dryness that it can cause. The wax builds up on your hair and overtime causes that side effect. In other words, Mane n Tail is as effective as lard.
Do NOT Take Biotin, especially without consulting a doctor. Biotin is initially meant for those who have a biotin deficiency or a related illness. Taking biotin is not needed as you get enough from your own intake of food.
Biotin can also yield nasty side effects, many girls ( some on here ) failed to yield the warning and ended up with high fever, vomiting throughout the day, mild to severe acne.. some as odd as getting acne on your legs. Biotin is also NOT approved by the FDA. There are foods that contain Biotin already ( Peanut butter is a good example. ) It is better to look up foods rich in Biotin. And believe it or not, you can make your own Biotin rich smoothie.( A yummy smoothie just for hair growth and no side effects vs a pill not approved by our own sketchy government is enough say for me at least. )
Following a healthy diet is essential for hair growth. Take proteins into consideration, such as keratin which makes up most of your hair.
Your body needs to produce more amino acids to increase hair growth. Proteins can come from eggs, nuts, beans, fish, etc.
Check with your doctor to make sure you don't have any deficiencies. Iron and zinc play a big component in hair growth as well as nail growth. Cereal, breads, pastas, have a healthy level of iron and zinc.
Make sure you take enough vitamin C as well ( Lack of such vitamin can cause dry, dull, and weakened hair... Citrus fruits, strawberries, guava, broccoli, kale, peppers, etc.have a good amount of Vitamin C. )
Consume healthy fats such as unsaturated fats and fatty acids such as omega-3's. Fats are indispensable to hair growth.
Exercising, scalp massages, and avoiding stress. Exercising allows blood to flow to your head, and massaging your hair stimulates new hair growth ( for at least 5 minutes when you wash your hair or apply a product, massage your scalp. )
Stress causes hair to fall out so avoid stress if you can.
Hair masks and treatments are a must. Stick to treatments involving Coconut oil. Coconut Oil stimulates hair growth because it penetrates deep into your hair follicles ( and is considered protein. )
Oils work great for hair, for maximum benefits heat them up indirectly. ( Heat up a cup of water in your microwave for two minutes, and in a separate enclosed container with your hair masks, place it in the cup of water to heat it indirectly. )
Avoid heat if you can or use heat styling tools that are minimal in damage.
You don't need to get a haircut every x number of months, that just causes it to stay at the same length.
Get a cut if you really need to ( dead ends, split ends, etc ), cutting hair won't just randomly make it grow twice as fast.
You can wash your hair everyday, it's shampooing you want to stray from because it's very stripping. Shampoo your scalp ONLY.
Don't rinse out all of your conditioner. This helps immensely and when you wash your hair again it will be de-tangled. Stick to moisturizing your hair 100%.
Try to brush your hair outside of the shower with a wide tooth comb.
If you have any questions - feel free to contact me. I am in the process of growing out my hair and the above has really helped me. I have a few in progress photos on my profile if you'd like to check them out.

Don't worry Jacylyn if people want to ignore warnings and do as they please they are allowed to it is their body and you did your best to tell them. I have always been giving out my infamous guide for hair growth since I started and there will always be someone who just ignores it. Sometimes by taking these pills people pay attention to their hair vs never paying attention at all and see it growing but at it's normal rate so it's just misconception.
It is why I started tracking my hair growth because if you ask me without these pictures I will tell you it grew only a little bit lol.

I bought Biotin pills but I have taken like one, I'm so glad that you told me that or I would of just kept taking them!

Kelsi there are many ways to obtain Biotin from food
Luxy Hair has a Biotin Rich smoothie recipe that you can try out, I believe she was scared of its side effects as well so opted for a natural way of getting it.
