"My hair is growing [so] fast. How do I know this? Because I touch up my roots to cover grays, which I needed to do every four weeks (exactly), and now [I] have to do it between two and three weeks. That is INSANE. There is also much more new hair that is now very noticeable," explained one happy reviewer named Gavilan.

Customer review: "So I am almost finished with my 2nd bottle of Hairfluence, and I must say that my hair is growing like a weed! I normally color my hair black because I am naturally gray, but I have not retouched with color because I am so shocked by how much my hair has grown.

According to the experts at Propidren, one of the main factors in terms of hair loss is the production of dihydrotestosterone or DHT (and our research backed this up!).

Customer review: "I have used this for three days. While it's too soon for new eyebrows, I have noticed a big change in my eyelashes. The skin around my eyes looks so much brighter and healthier, and my mascara seems so much more impactful. My lashes seem plumper and seem to draw the mascara in. It's not flaky and crusty at the end of the day. My lashes look thick, healthy, and quite luxurious."

Many experts we've talked to recommend castor oil to aid lash and eyebrow growth, but the word on Amazon is that the special oil can also work hair growth wonders on top of the scalp. (We also love that this formula is USDA-certified organic and cold-pressed!)

"I am now a fan of castor oil!" one Amazon reviewer practically shouts. "I've always read that castor oil was great for hair growth, so I decided to give it a try. I've been using it on my eyebrows, lashes, and hair (my hair is natural, extremely curly, and colored), and in a month, I can already see a difference. My eyebrows seem much thicker, and my hair is so soft, thick, and healthy. My lashes are looking thicker and longer. I also use this on my skin."

Customer review: "I have been wearing my hair natural for a year now. I trust Aroamas products, but when I find something that is exceptional, I have to rave about it. I started using this oil about three weeks ago. Since then, I have been religiously using it every night. I can tell the difference in the health of my scalp. It feels nourished and healthy, and it is evidenced in the rapid growth of my hair. This is a definite keeper in my arsenal of products for natural hair."

Whenever someone asks me about hair growth supplements, these tablets from Viviscal are the first to pop out of my mouth.

Customer review: "It's been almost a month since I started taking these, and I'm already noticing a difference in how healthy my hair looks and a difference in how much hair is coming off in my brush.

I love and swear by countless products from Hum Nutrition (specifically Flatter Me, $18, and Beauty Zzzz, $7), but these hair-boosting gummies are by far my fave, and I swear on my life to anyone who will listen that they've completely transformed my hair in the past year since I've started taking them. They taste great (but I recommend eating them with food because they contain zinc), and my hair has never looked so thick or grown so fast.
